Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Business - Management and Administration  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Bright After changing my major with advice and guidance that it would slow down my graduation date for 2008 - classes then were not offered. I was to graduate May 2009 the day before my graduation (24 hours) I was called and told I would not graduate due to grades. My family spent $300 + on hotel rooms - that could not be canceled in such short notice. I hope I never hear the name Longwood again - YUCK! Campus Aesthetics: A, Social Life: D- Have a Question?

I agree with most of the comments here. Most of the people at the school are female, Caucasian, education majors. I am a very open minded African American female but I still felt a little out of place. I most definitely spent my weekends either taking long walks around the campus or going to Wal-Mart. That was about it for social life. The classes are pretty straight forward and they do lack creativity. This really isn't the school for "artsy" people. If you are different in any way you will stand out like a raisin in a bowl of oatmeal. Even with all of that said there is nothing particularly "wrong" with Longwood. It is a respected school where you will receive a decent education. I think it just depends on what floats your boat. If you want to go to a school where you'll have no choice but to study all day for four years because there is nothing else to do, graduate and then get a job then Longwood is definitely the school for you. haha Campus Aesthetics: A+, Surrounding City: D Have a Question?

I realized that the major which I was in did not really point me in the direction that I wanted to go, which brings me to my first problem with Longwood. At Longwood it is almost mandatory that you know exactly what you want to study in the beginning because if you don't it will be almost impossible to change majors and graduate on time. Also the majors offered here, while they are numerous, are sometimes very vague and impractical. Also due to the dedication to small class sizes it is incredibly hard to get all the classes that are necessary for your degree. This can cause serious issues. Another bad thing about Longwood is how the university tries to control every aspect of the students lives. Patrolling the campus with a police force modeled on Chesterfield County who think they are god and attempt to charge students as often as possible(as well as RA's who SUCK). Despite all of this there are ways to get around these walls, join a club or Greek organization to have fun and meet interesting people who make it possible to live in Farmville lol. No matter what the red tape there is always something to do either on campus or in the 5 streets containing house parties nearby. I have grown to love Longwood due to its dedicated faculty who really care and the friends who are always there for you. I honestly think that there is something here for everyone just be SURE that you know what you want to major in or you may be in for some problems.

The teachers here are great minus a few bad ones but thats acceptable for a university. There is always something to do outside of a huge greek life. The work load is suprisingly challengeing if you actually take classes that will challenge you. The guy girl ratio is amazing. The sports are D1. and everything about this university is improving. It's definatly not what it used to be. Granted the police down here are extremely horrible, with 1 out of 4 students expected to get arrested for alchy citations while they stay here. The cops have nothing better to do in this town than screw with students, granted there are at least 50 cop cars here in no less than 2 square miles of populated area...
