Christopher Newport University Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

BRITTNEY

There are approximately 25 students a class. I like small classes this allows the professors to know you as an individual and not just another student. There are many options at CNU that I like, whether it is in research, internships, campus jobs or simply asking a professor for extra help, there are many opportunities available at CNU. I really like the atmosphere everyone treat you so friendly. The students are really friendly as well as the staff.

The openness and helpfulness of most of the professors. They are willing to work with the students as much as it takes to get them to understand the course material, which a lot of the time can be quite difficult. While a course can be overbearing, having a helpful professor can make the course better for the student.

The best thing about my school is all of the opportunities to get involved with the students and organizations of the campus. Christopher Newport University has a lot of activities, clubs, sororities, fundraisers, and internships to get involved in. There is an activity or club for every student that attends CNU. The variety of clubs and activites range from video games and religious groups to Disney Club and Equestrian Team. Some clubs partner with organizations or the Student Activities Board whereas others are simply a group of students who designed a club for their passions.

I think the best thing about this school is the feeling of belonging a student gets after only being on campus for a semester. Already I know so many great people, and to my professors I am someone important. Due to the size of CNU I know my professors names and they know mine, I even say hello to previous semester's professors and they remember who i am. Had I gone to any school that was larger I doubt I would have these connections and feeling of belonging.

Taylor

The best thing about CNU is that the campus is so welcoming. As soon as I stepped foot on campus, I felt like I belonged. Every student and faculty member is friendly and willing to help out someone in need.

Nadia

I love how everyone is so friendly and the teachers genuinely care about your education. The school. also pays special attention to freshmen and even goes as far as to set up crews where students live near other student who share their intended major.

Relevant change. CNU has been recognized as an up and coming University. It is beyond that. CNU is up and coming in its caliber of student, its community engagement, its investment in the community, its aesthetically beautiful campus, its Presidential Leadership Program, and as such, its phenomenal impact. CNU is known by its students, its community, and those watching it as a constantly changing campus. The key is that the change happening at CNU is RELEVANT change. The level of scholarship, the buildings, the standards of honor, citizenship and leadership. Utter relevance for our society and our nation. Relevant change.

Jordan

The best thing about Christopher Newport University would have to be their liberal learning curriculum basically forcing students to take courses in almost every category offered at the University, making them a little more well rounded.

Christian

The school is growing and the facilities are nice. The school is rated well academically and is growing but is not too big.

Justine

My favorite part of Christopher Newport was the academics. The classes as well as the professors were remarkable and very resourceful. Professors were always willing to lend a hand with any problems whether it be school related or not. Also, the campus was just stunning. Every day that I walked through the center courtyard I fell in love with the school all over again.
