CNU is a communter campus with dorms. Pres. Tribble in under the misconception that the dorms at CNU are like living in the Ritz Carlton - obviously he has never stepped foot in Santoro, Motel 6 more like it. Three people to a room with desks, closet and drawer space for only two.
CNU is a dry campus with vigilante RA's and campus police just looking for offenders, they must receive a bonus for rounding up students to perform community service. Oh, dry except when a blind eye is turned to to the parking lot before and after a football game when parents, alumni, supporters, students, PLAYERS and COACHES can be found openly drinking.

okay your college experience is going to be whatever you make out of it. I really like cnu the classes are close and you are allowed to have vistors whenever you want. The only thing i dont like about cnu is that it isnt really diverse alot of people are from northern va so its like they have already form their friends before they even got here and most of them arent open up to have anyone else join. the parties here at cnu is limited. they are basically drink until you fall out. there are a lot of people that have to do community serivices because of that. Another thing i like about cnu is the different programs cab have.. please if you are thinking about coming to cnu join CAB it is an wonderful organization. the room are really big and the community is netrual . you have your main stores around you and the ferguson center have a lot of differrent acts for you.

CNU was my first choice of college and I even got into William & Mary. I enjoyed its campus and loved the tour, however, as freshman year went on and sophomore year began I realized that it is not what it is cracked up to be. Disregard when people say that teachers do not speak English well, they are always understood unless the student does not pay attention. The dorms, too, are nice. Unless, of course, you are unlucky enough (aka myself) to be placed into Barclay apartments or Warwick suites.
The classes that I have taken have been work and not hard but not easy. It truly depends on your professor versus the actual class. The biggest problem with the school is the student body and the outside activities. The alcohol violations are pretty intense, but I drank every weekend last year and never got in trouble. Once you come to your senses and do not want to drink anymore than you will realize that there is nothing to do. The parties are none to fun and when you finally find one it probably will not live up to expectations. If you don't party then you either go home or do homework on weekends. I opt for the former.

They also do a horrible job picking roomate and 1/2 of my hall (no joke) from freshman year has transferred...and I will be among those in the fall.

being a small school it gets a bad rap for the social scene, but finding places to party is easy once you know where to go.
