    Am learning a lot

    I am in the Nursing associate degree program right now. It is a tough program, but is defiantly worth it. You get action first semester when you have your clinical at Nursing Homes.
    Am enjoying being here

    Many people at NSU are friendly and have nothing but love and Spartan Pride to share with fellow students.
    Tips for prospective students

    College is the best invention of school ever made. Norfolk State makes sure of that. They offer help for the subjects that seem tough to you, the instructors are understanding and willing to work with you. However, this school is not all about working and studying and having no life. NSU has on campus parties and many activities for the students to enjoy.

    Am learning a lot

    Norfolk State University not only provides a very high standard of learning in the academic realm, but also promotes growth in the individual. As a pre-nursing major, I have attained a lot of information that will help me to excel in my field of choice. However, NSU has also helped me to develop characteristics that will aid me in becoming a contributing member of society, such as responsibility and independence.
    Am enjoying being here

    As a Student Ambassador and a member of the NSU Concert Choir, I assure you that there is something here for everyone to enjoy. Whether you love to sing, act, play an instrument or a sport, or just interact with other people, there is always something for you to get involved in and to be a part of something great. If you aren't that great on stage, but you shine brightly in the classroom, there's also an Honors Program that caters to students who excel academically as well. For those students who study hard during the week but let their hair down on the weekends, you can also find fun events to participate in once you've worked hard all week long. The social life at Norfolk State University is what you make it.
    Bang for the buck

    Norfolk State University is worth every penny. It is impossible to put a dollar amount on the experience that you will gain from attending NSU. Aside from its great balance of the academic and social environments, the spirit and school pride here is amazing. At NSU, I have gained networking opportunities and developed friendships/relationships that I will cherish for a lifetime. Once you're a Spartan, you're a Spartan for life. The family-oriented atmosphere here is what caused me to fall in love with Norfolk State University. It made being away from home for the first time a great experience and a smooth transition.
    Tips for prospective students

    My biggest suggestion for new freshmen entering college would be not to underestimate college life. When most people tell you about college, they only tell you the good stuff. They tell you about the parties, the staying-up-late, the long weekends, but they fail to tell you about the hours of commitment to studying it takes to pass classes. In return, a lot of students enter college life unprepared for the work load. Also, come prepared to be your own person and live your own life. Your parents can no longer wake you up in the morning or call your teachers to discuss your grades. When you step onto a college campus, the responsibility is placed in your hands and it is up to you to make the most of your higher learning experience.
    Great for these types of students

    Norfolk State University is great for students who want to get a headstart in the world. This institution breeds leaders and develops positive, hard-working, contributing members of society. NSU is known for its excellent Nursing Program and its nationally renowned Music Program. This university is for students who want to learn in a well-rounded, student-friendly, family-oriented environment. It is great for students who stand out amongst their peers and would like to continue making their mark on the world.

    Am learning a lot

    Norfolk State University is a well rounded academic school. I have attained more information pertaining to the field I plan to enter in the last several semester. I wanted to be in a school that challenges my mind in every aspect of knowledge and trust me when I say this, that NSU is the one school I know that will do just that.
    Am enjoying being here

    These past semester that I been here have been enjoyed, but also educational. There is no other institution like Norfolk State University. Yes, you are there to be educated but they also know how to have fun when it comes to certain aspect of having fun.
    Bang for the buck

    This college is very easy on the pockets because it is not as expensive as most colleges or universities in the surrounding area and although it's the least expensive, there academics are the best.
    Tips for prospective students

    Tips for prospective students are to make sure you choose your colleges wisely. Check out it's academics record and graduating students in the prospective field. Make sure this is what you want and not your family because your family could make it harder for you. Be you and not someone else that your family want you to be. Life is all about living for you even though your parents are paying your tutition.

    The classes and professors at Norfolk State are great. There is so much to learn and gain from the materials taught as well as the professors. The professors do not mind explaining the materials thoroughly, and they encourage everyone to ask questions.
    Am enjoying being here

    I enjoy being here because of the atmosphere on the campus is so heart-felt. Everyone is friendly and the staff and students do not mind helping one another. I also enjoy being here because departments for specific major.s make sure that one has all the information they need to excel
    Bang for the buck

    Norfolk State is well worth the tuition that is paid. They do not try to take your money, or swindle one for more money than is actually needed for school. I believe a person will be satisfied about the tut ion they have paid to attend NSU.
    Tips for prospective students

    Prospective students should remember to stay focused and not let the fun of campus life sidetrack them. They should also practice time management so that their priorities will be well balanced. Time management gives one time to study and enjoy the fun with peers.
    Great for these types of students

    Norfolk State is great for students looking for a diverse campus. NSU is also great for students who are interested in a campus that is not too big or too small. Also, if a person is interested in school morale, NSU is the best place to be!

    I think this would be a great college to attend. I know a few individuals who attend or have attended and one of them is going back for their master's degree. I have also been on campus and find that the environment is very positive and will help in learning process. The students are also very helpful when it comes to getting around on campus.
    Will enjoy being here

    This campus is full of energy. I don't see why a student wouldn't want to learn here at this college. With all the help that is offered i believe that I will be able to set high standards for myself and reach my goals.
    Tips for prospective students

    I would say don't get distracted. Make sure college is something you really want to pursue before applying. When you have decided to attend be focused on getting the work done before anything else.
    Great for these types of students

    For students who have high expectations for themselves or will enjoy, not just having fun but learning while doin so this would be a great school for that individual.

    The faculty at Norfolk State University will do what it takes to help students make sure they understand concepts necessary in order to do well in the class. Also, Norfolk State University faculty challenges students to put in extra work and by doing so the students will learn more material by going the extra mile in their classes.
    Am enjoying being here

    I really enjoyed staying on campus at Norfolk State University. Norfolk State was not a huge school but it was not a small school which fit my preference perfectly. The classes were not packed and you have the opportunity to develop a relationship with professors and get noticed on campus.
    Bang for the buck

    Norfolk State University is very affordable and they offer many scholarships in different academic programs to help students out. They make sure they can accommodate each students need to the best of their ability. Finally, Norfolk State University offers many different internship and networking opportunities to help students land in a good career once they graduate.
    Tips for prospective students

    For the students entering Norfolk State University I suggest that you begin on work on the first day its given, keep records of all transactions you make regarding your account, and if you need help sign up for a tutor immediately to ensure you have a chance to improve your grade.
    Great for these types of students

    Norfolk State University is great for students looking for a great education with a great value. Also, Norfolk State is great for students intending to major in math and sciences due to the plethora of programs that are offered. Lastly, Norfolk State is great for students that are willing to put in time and work in order to achieve and be successful in their prospective careers.

    norfolk is much to expensive for the education and accomodations for out-of-state students. they generally cater to their va students, like most states, but they let it be known they look out for their own. you also have to watch your class schedule as a freshman because they schedule you in classes as the same time as other classes, and you have to work it out with the professors how you will attend the classes.
    Tips for prospective students

    make sure you keep track of all scholarship monies and payments made to the university. you have to show your payments made to the school often and they are quick to remove you from classes until you prove them of their error. also, department financial aid, student accounts, and housing have poor communication between departments.
    Dorm Life

    they will change your room accommodations for their needs. if you selected 2 room mate dorm room, they will put another person in at their leisure. you are responsible for contacting student accounts and informing them of the pay differential 2 room mates versus 3, which is a difference of $154. also, in dorms, you may have rodents in some of the dorms.
    Food and Dining

    the food and dining areas have high marks and the cafeteria workers are very nice. nothing but high marks here!
    What to do for fun

    football games, their team won the meac championship this year. they have school wide parties. also, clubs and greek life are always having activities that are school-wide.
    Bang for the buck

    if you are a reside within the state of va, then this is the school for you. they treat out-of-staters as if they are second class citizens instead of being glad they are coming to the school and spending monies in their state. also, decisions made do not take into account students from out-of-state, so it is hard to make future traveling plans, and although their motto is norfolk, the institution of choice, they tend to forget that out-of-state students chose their school too, and they could have stayed within their state.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    i like the pass and review that the marching band does during the home games. although they play a lot of old school music, their marching style differs from other schools because they march military style and this is refreshing from other college bands. i wish they could get enough votes to attend the honda battle of the college bands so people in other areas can see them.

    Campus Safety

    they have security posted at the entrance ways although they have an open campus, no real major issues at this time. most of the issues are in the areas where students live off-campus.

    Living in a dorm with other people is a good way to meet new people and make life-long friends. You learn so much from your peers.

    What to do for fun

    If you want some fun, join a club, sorority/fraternity, join a team, get involved. There's something for everyone to do here.
    Bang for the buck

    What you pay for is definitely what you get. Your time is never wasted here. The teachers here want you to learn and they definitely want you to leave with something that will affect your life.

    Norfolk State University is low cost and has numerous programs to help students. It is located in a ghetto neighborhood but once you get on campus, you will be fine. As with any school, you get out of it what you put into it.
    Tips for prospective students

    Check your university email daily because there is lots of useful information from scholarships to internship opportunities. Enjoy the extracurricular activities there--school is a whole experience, not just books.
    Academic Rigor

    It all depends upon the teacher really. A lot of people have this stereotype of Norfolk State as being an Easy Pass school. This is not necessarily so. And you do get out of it what you put into it.
    Dorm Life

    I only stayed in a dorm for one semester. It was okay. Dorm life is dorm life. Living with a whole lot of other people is not going to be easy. I don't care what school you go to.
    Food and Dining

    There are lots of dining options. Be careful in the cafeteria though. The food is excellent and is all you can eat so you may overeat.
    What to do for fun

    Norfolk State University is conveniently located to public transportation so you can go to the mall and the movies.
    Bang for the buck

    The price is very low...the lowest in Hampton Roads for a four year college. There's no use going to some fancy school and ending up up to your eyeballs in debt upon graduation. You get out of it what you put into it anyway. Try Norfolk State.

    The professors and teachers at Norfolk State University are very helpful although this is college and people say professors dont care. They will provide as much help as you need, even it means taking personal time out of their schedules to help you. This University also has outside programs that will assist you such as ACCESS; they have mentors and tutors to assist you in all subjects.

    Norfolk State University is a wonderful school the education you'll receive is well worth the price that you will pay. One thing you must do is stay on top of your financial aid. Make sure you get everything completed as early as possible believe it or not it makes a difference. One thing you dont want is to struggle to find money at a school you love.

    Stay on top of your school work it is most important. Be proactive in applying for scholarships and grants and loans for school. You WILL have alot of fun at Norfolk State University but dont get side tracked.

    Norfolk State is a school that values the importance of educating those who are less fortunate with their finances and in academics to receive a quality education. Also the institution has teachers that are dedicated to serve as a support system for students, almost acting as a second family for them. Lastly, Norfolk State University is a school that is full of African American culture, growing research/academic, and sports programs that are becoming more nationally recognized that lead me to this school.
    Tips for prospective students

    As a student The student activities and organizations that are on the campus are very interesting. The campus events are good ways to meet people and network oneself.
    Academic Rigor

    The academics are challenging and the teachers will guide their students to achieve success.

    I stayed on campus during the summer time for summer courses and it was a decent experience. My friends that have stayed in the dorms during the semester definitely say that it was worth their times because you get the full college experience.
    Food and Dining

    The food is good in the cafe because there are buffet type options. In the student center there is a Spartan Express cafe with Chick-fil-a, Pizza Hut, and Tropical Smoothie. On the far side of campus near the football field there is a small cafe call the Spartan Station fill with a mexican grill, sub shop, and mini market store to get supplies or food. Also on the opposite side of campus near the auditorium is another small cafe with a variety of food and a mini market sub shop.

    Dorm life is great, you get to meet a lot of new people and have a lot of fun with them, and whenever u need anything they will be there to help out.

    You can either go to game room and play pool, spades, dominoes and other games, there's also a Bowling Alley that is open for free for students, and the school is always planning off-campus activities like laser tag and others, and transportation is always provided it.

    This school is fairly small, but very welcoming. It has very small classroom settings which allows a better learning environment. The campus being open to the public was quite frightening and made people quite apprehensive.

    Norfolk State is the best choice I have ever made. Norfolk State makes me proud to become an alumni of Norfolk state. I do not expect this new journey of my life to be easy but, I expect to learn from this journey and teach others.
    Tips for prospective students

    From a students perspective I would definitely say do not get lazy at any point because when you put in your all,you will feel so much better at the end. Stand up for what you believe in but leave your mind open for new possibilities in life. Also, make your family proud.
    What to do for fun

    There is a gym! Their is plenty of great restaurants that are there. People in Norfolk just make it even better.

    Have all your financial information (FAFSA) completed early and pay all your money upfront. Do not wait till the last minute to register for classes.
    Academic Rigor

    It really depends on your major.

    Nothing to do for fun, besides Echols dance.
