Every school has its weaknesses and strengths. Intramurals are fun and easy to get involved in. Faculty can be very difficult at times but for every bad professor i've had to deal with i've had another professor which went above my expectations. There are situations of violence in the surrounding neighborhood but as long as you stay on campus and don't act dumb(walking around at 2 am drunk), you should be more than safe. Classes have been challenging. As an engineer i would have loved more practical classes instead of so much theory.

This place is the most ridiculous place in VA. All the people who are from the surrounding area are stuck up and if you're not from around here, then no one wants to get to know you. Talk about racism, but I don't mean the white people. Blacks are UNBELIEVABLY racist down here. Especially the girls. They are the reason this school is so segregated. Everyone is so ignorant and follows what the crowd does and they never know what they're talking about. People get their throats slashed, robbed, shot, stabbed, etc on a weekly basis. And the education level is so low I can feel myself losing IQ points every time I go to class. Most of the teachers really don't care about you, but I have had a couple that have been really helpful. However this being my 3rd semester here I would have like to have had more helpful professors than I have. And lets not forget the dorms, if you want to get some serious illness from flesh eating bacteria used in nuclear weapons (no lie) or have a crazy bug infection, stay in Powhatan. Or Rogers and Gresham if you're a freshman. Basically, DON'T COME HERE! don't listen to their stupid bragging about the monorail that DOESN'T EVEN WORK! Unless you want to live in the ghetto surrounded by ignorant, stupid, stuck up people.

It's hard to fail a class at this university. I have the feeling that the faculty wants you to succeed. Greek Life is awesome at this university. Not going to lie, but there is an exessive ghetto community enrolled and around Old Dominion University. But there are plenty of other groups of people. The campus has a balance atmosphere, where grades are as important as social life. The campus definitely has a southern feel to it.

The campus aesthetics are getting better year by year. The new dorms are amazing for freshman.

Cafeteria food could be better, but non-cafeteria food around campus is great. This one place under the Dominion House, a new dorm, called the POD has a great selection of food. The subs at the POD taste better than Quizznos, and Subway.
