Longwood University Top Questions

I would tell myself to focus and with absolute dedication I can accomplish anything. Latoya there is nothng to fear, unless you have a fear of success.

No matter what happens there is usually a solution and you never have to continue to do something you don't want to do. These are things that were getting lost among my nervous butterflies. Before going to college I was extremely worried about moving away from home and finding my nitch in a new place so I would remind myself that all the worrying in the world would not help or change anything. I think that if I had worried less I would have enjoyed my first few weeks of college life more instead always being anxious and calling my parents every five minutes. "Don't worry, be happy" is the best advice I could possibly give myself.

When I first arrived at Longwood, I felt as though I was being freed from a prison I had been forced to attend for 12 years. High school was a difficult time for me and the stereotypical college experience I was expecting was invigorating. The feeling of being able to do pretty much whatever you want, whenever you want, was so unfamiliar to me that I decided to take full advantage of the opportunity. It wasn't long before I realized that freedom comes with responsibility and consequences. The decisions you have to make during college are life changing. Through these lessons, you learn how to trust yourself and you start embrace your originality. Without the humbling experience of making mistakes and taking responsibility for myself, the side of me my parents have noticed and come to love would still be hidden under my lazy and stubborn exterior. My college experience has helped shape me into becoming a more faithful, responsible and motivated person. This experience has been so valuable and I am grateful to have had the chance to mature.

I'm going to be blunt - at first, I thought college was a complete waste of time and was not looking forward to soldiering through it. I've stated that I dislike my school being located in such a small town, but I love that the university itself is similarly on the small side and very, very friendly. I've learned what a difference people can make and how the right attitude and environment can make anything so much more enjoyable - I look forward to these next few years not because I like classes and think tons of homework is to die for, but because I know that the professors are helpful, friendly, and they want to see you succeed, they really do. Other students are fantastic about helping "noobs" settle in and get their new lives straight - everyone has tips and advice and they give it freely. :) The size of the school means that you see people around and become familiar with almost everyone. The experience so far has been worth its weight in gold in erasing my fear for the future and cultivating a valuable set of people skills.

College experience has done a lot for me. I have made so many new friends and memories. The upper classmen at Longwood are really friendly, welcoming, and willing to help the freshmen out. It just reflects on how Longwood represents students who are friendly, respectful, and honorable and I am proud to be describe as one of those students as well. I guess I could say that I've gotten a better character out of my college experience. I've learned to love school, make good grades and make my dad proud. I've learned to be honest, since Longwood takes the honor code very seriously. I've learned to make new friends and to be yourself. Attending Longwood is valuable to me because I feel like the community has taken me in with open arms and I feel at home here. I love Longwood and am so glad I chose to come here.

Longwood was my first choice and I love it there. It is the best place for me to be. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly. If your looking to go into education then it is the best place for you as it is for me. The teachers have experince in the field they are teaching so they can relate what they are teaching back to real life experinces. Longwood is the best school in Virginia in my opinion.

In the two years I have spent at Ocean County College I have received a variety of opportunities. I've made new friends, but more importantly, learned what it means to be a college student. In high school I never truly felt as if I assimilated with other students, but I found out fitting in to a social group isn't everything. Although fitting in isn't everything, Ocean County College subjected me to a variety of other students who can be very accepting. It's given me a chance to excel academically and has given me an opportunity to help others. I have worked at the math tutoring center for three semesters at the college, and it was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. Being influenced by so many students at the same time has made me realize that everyone is different, and they have helped me realize my true potential: I can be a great student, but at the same time, a caring, responsible, and influential individual who's not afraid to take on any challege.

I have gotten so much out of my college experience, so much more than just a bachelor's degree. Longwood was a perfect fit for me. Not only is the campus easy to navigate but everyone is friendly and helpful. I was a transfer student and was worried I would feel like an outsider but that was not the case. Students in the Psychology department were so nice and welcoming it was impossible not to make life long friends. The professors were always available for help after class and I was able to obtain a 4.0 gpa by taking advantage of all the opportunites and after class help they offered. They have been the guiding force in myself striving for a Graduate degree, which I have just been accepted to. Longwood has helped me grow up and become the person I always wanted to be. Not only did I get an amazing job in this economy but now it has helped me get accepted in graduate school. I have made amazing friends and lifelong bonds with my professors, and even met by fiance on campus.

I have grown so much. I am more confident, independent, and daring. People can't believe I'm this different, in a good way.

I was called by God to be a childrens missionary when i went to school i didn't know what to expect. I worked really hard and graduated doing good. It helped me to grow in my faith and made me a better person. I did struggle with my teaching i do need to go to bible college to learn Gods word so i can do as God has called me to do. The children need me its either i have to do it or you can someone needs to be there for Gods little ones. God has called me to reach his little ones because no else can. You can play a small part in by blessing me watch and see if God doesn't bless you back do you believe i do. Go ahead and see what happens. I would like to thank you on be half of Gods little ones and also i would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. My hope is that God would bless you and your family this new year. Just believe. Delaware Doug.
