I am grateful for the opportunities given to me while I was at Western. The people that work there are so friendly and helpful. They made everything so easy when I started there. It is a great place to get an associates degree from. I'm currently a student at Liberty University and I am only 30 credits from receiving my degree there because of the classes I have taken at Virginia Western.

It is a great place to get an associates or to just take extra classes.

Student parking is free unlike NOVA, and there's usually plenty of parking on both sides of Colonial Ave. The campus is clean and there's decent landscaping throughout, and I always enjoy the walk from the parking lot 12 down the steps to the library and looking around the surrounding hills. The staff in the testing center have been helpful, and I appreciate their helping me take tests for a NOVA class.

I attended Virginia western to get a degree in radiation oncology therapy. They were very…read moreunhelpful. I got all of my financial aid in line only to be dropped out of every class last second and put into the classes with the "leftovers" for teachers with horrible ratings. I've since dropped out due to financial problems that occurred when my financial aid was dropped. It was dropped for the GPA being too low but I was not informed that classes done online at another school do not transfer as credits unless you have 14 or more credits. So they let me take 12 knowing it wouldn't be enough to transfer and I made straight A's. not that the system showed this. So now I have no degree and after trying to set up a payment plan and having them tell me they didn't do that owe the collection agency over 1000$. Do not go to this school. They are completely incapable of helping. They can't keep staff in the financial aid building which resulted in questions not getting answered. Was literally told they didn't know because they were new. Don't waste your time or hurt your credit. They don't care about your success only the money that comes with having you there and once that's up they screw you.

My daughter attends this school and I must say, I am very happy with her education. She receives…read moreexcellent, personal attention from caring teachers in a wonderful environment. The school almost has a large "home-school" feel where every student receives individual attention. And while the school is small, the students do not lack anything. They have the basics (math, reading, etc), but also enjoy learning second languages, art, music, and much more. Plus, the tuition is the lowest in the valley, so cost is not prohibitive for those who want a private education for their children. This school genuinely cares for its students and their education. I would highly recommend it!

The view from the third floor window is amazing and the neighborhood is pretty safe too. There's a lot of local businesses where we can buy food and interact with each other such as the corner store and the library or the park that's right behind the school. However, even though most of the teachers are relatively nice, like everything in this world, it's not perfect. There was one teacher who insulted a kid to another degree and sometimes the food can be slightly inedible. There's also a lot of violence, but that's really the students fault. Many kids are also constantly breaking the rules and always getting into fights. That's an honest review from a student that attends this school.
