I had an absolutely wonderful experience at VWC!

Most all of the teachers are awesome and the grounds are very pretty. There are also a lot of fun activities always scheduled. You even get 500 free printed pages a semester which rolls over. It is nice to eat and drink in the library also! The research librarians also help you get started on your research papers. Classes are 4 credits =book $

I went to this school some years ago, but I wouldn't send my kids here. It became impossible to get a transcript from their Registrar to ever prove I earned a college degree. Their administrative processes need improvement before anyone should pay this much money for a degree that, in the end, you can't prove you ever earned.

This place is the pits and cares more about their sports teams rather than the students. Don't come here if you're hoping to further your curriculum. Plus every time I've eaten their food? I've gotten food poisoning unless there were visitors to the campus. 0/10 recommendation.

Looks are very deceiving, yes this school might appear to be well groomed but the quality of teachers and classes definitely show Virginia Wesleyan's ugly side. I do not recommend this college to anyone who has a desire to learn well and be successful.

This is basically a high school

With the COVID pandemic, they do not give you a refund if campus shuts down and they do not care about their students. They closed all academic buildings on the weekends and restricted library hours, so there is no where to study during the weekends. It is a joke.

This school is an overall average school with good professors. The campus is small, food, not so good and social activities almost non-existant. However, the people on this campus are who makes it what it really is. Everyone is kind, friendly and willing to help whenever it is needed. It is a little over priced, but all around not too bad.

Coming to this school was the worst decision I have ever made. The food is terrible, cockroaches in dorm rooms, and expensive as hell. Place is sketchy and you never see where your money is going. They screwed me out of transfer credits from another university. SomeProfessors in STEM department are not that good and are rude when you ask questions.
