Christopher Newport University Top Questions

Nothing!

the worst thing about Christopher Newport Univeristy is that it is not racially diverse

1. Construction: because it takes away from the beauty of the school. 2. Diversity: I seen many people of different races at this school, but those people are low in numbers. 3. Parking: It is hard to find places to park, yet you have to pay for an expensive parking decal.

One of the worst things about CNU is also one of the best. We have on-going and constantly shifting construction zones spread across our campus, which sometimes make it difficult to navigate the area and get to class on time. However, this problem is actually an advantage because it provides our student population with new, up-to-date facilities.

The worst thing about CNU is that we are not well known enough. And we are also getting more selective.

The worst thing about my school is the parking because for students there is never that much parking and students sometimes have to park in restricted areas and end up getting parking tickets.

The worst thing about Christopher Newport University is also one of the best things. Students love small class sizes that foster discussion and class participation but the small size also provides a scheduling night-mare when all of the seats have been taken during regisitration.

Small class sizes are Christopher Newport University are both a curse and a blessing. While allowing better interaction with the professor and improved class discussions, it makes getting into specialized classes very competitive. Enrollment in classes is decided by your year and whether or not you are in the President's Leadership Program. It can be frustrating to see PLP students of a lower grade level enrolling in classes you need before you have the option.

As a second semester freshman, I really don't have any negative problems with Christopher Newport University. It has been a great experience for me.

Again, the social life suffers as a result of the alcohol viewpoints and policy. Due to the policy/viewpoint, there is a drop-out of students because of transfers and suspensions. It is an academically rich school with wonderful professors that can really teach life skills and material, but not all stay because they are driven away by a lack of social life. Social life is important in any setting, particularly in college. Especially in today's perspective, college is the time to experiment and broaden horizons, however this is prevented by a lack of social setting.

I would say on of the worst things about CNU is people do not take advantage of the resources, such as the activites put on. It gives the students something to do, for free, and keeps us out of trouble. Another thing would be the way class registration works. Since everyone is trying to do it at once, the internet freezes up and there are not enough spaces in the classes for every student. Parking is a huge issue, especially for the commuters. Other than that, the worst thing is the food!

I must first say that it has been a few minutes as nothing immediately comes to mind. After thoughtful consideration, I would say the same thing I referenced as the "best thing". Change. What is amazing about CNU is that all of the change is grounded. In scholarship, need, character, and service. That is what makes the change relevant and therefore, good. However, it is a well-known fact that change can be difficult. Therefore, as with all of our gifts, change is CNU's greatest strength and potentially weakness as well. Change is a reality of leadership. CNU leads.

I think the food could be a little bit better. Its not horrible but If i had to pick something it would definately be the food.

The worst thing about Christopher Newport is the Class Registration system. Classes fill up quickly and I know a lot of students that have gotten off track because they couldn't get into a particular class. Class sizes aren't increasing fast enough to accomodate all the students that need the classes offered. It can mean an extra semester, or even an extra year here, in some cases.

I hate the fact that the dining halls are small.

The worst thing that I consider about my school is the availability of parking it provides for students, faculty, staff and visitors.

Right now it is the construction. Half of the campus is blocked off by green fences. The workers only work on one section at a time, yet the whole campus is blocked. And the construction workers are getting paid for nothing. All they do is stare at the college girls' butts as they walk by. It seems like this construction has been going on forever and I just want to see the pretty green campus that I toured again.

Some unfair benefits are given to students that are involved with our Presidential Learning Program because the assumption is they work harder. It sucks to have them be given priviledges when honestly they don't work any harder than anyone else.

That it costs money but that goes for generally all schools. The school spirit could use a little pep but it is getting better each year. The school is outstanding but is very new so it is not that well known outside of the state yet.

The worse thing about our school is CHECKS -the board we have to go in front of if we do something wrong (ie alcohol violations, academic probation, etc). I think it's too hard on good students. I've known people who've gotten kicked out when really it was uncalled for when others have been allowed to stay when they did things far, far, far worse. I understand we need this but it's too hard on good students.
