Christopher Newport University Top Questions

It is small enough so that you can have a relatinship with your professors and get to know them when it is time to graduate and you are looking for letters of reccomendations.

Small school with a large school feel. Get personalized attention without being overbearing.

Private school environment

The small size of the school is different because while on campus, one doesn't actually feel as if he or she is on a small campus. Also, surrounding the campus there are a variety of things to do, such as events in the city, the beach, and nature trails.

They had personal, small classes where your opinion can be heard.

As a currrent member of Phi Mu, I would have to say the most unique aspect is Greek Life. When talking to other college students, greek life seems to be more of a competition than an organization. They are friends with their sisters/brothers but their circle of friends does not stretch far beyond that. At CNU whether in your in Phi Mu or Gamma Phi Beta to a Sigma Phi Epsilon or Pi Lamda Phi, we seem to have friends no matter what letters a boy/girl is wearing on their shirt.

The size of CNU makes it an ideal school. It is small enough that you are not just considered a number, yet big enough that you are always meeting new people.

I chose this school because when you walk on campus here is is very unlikely to not see someone you know. Also when you are walking to class everyone smiles and says hi to eachother even if they don't know eachother. Overall the friendlyness of this campus help me decide that this was the school for me.

Even though we're a D3 school, we function like a D1. We have just as nice, if not nicer, facilities. We work just as hard and it's not easy getting into this school by any means.

It's beautiful and I like the size of the classes. There aren't many students so its easy to speak with a teacher when the need comes. They are also willing to help and make time.
