Norfolk State University is a Historically Black College University in Norfolk Virginia. The class sizes are smaller and I enjoy this since I transferred from a very large university. Norfolk State is an open campus so there have been times non visitors have come on our campus causing trouble. The advisors aren’t the most helpful and you may end up planning your courses yourself. There’s a lot of access to scholarships and aid but it does take a while for one to receive their aid. Marijuana is legal in Virginia so there are times where you randomly smell it or see someone smoking. Lastly, there are beaches nearby and the social life is good considering we collaborate with the other universities that are close by for certain events and parties!
I love my school I have learn so much from being here. I am looking forward to learning more from everyone that is around me. The teachers are pushing us to be the best person that we can be. They are opening there doors to help us in any way they can, this makes every thing a whole lot easer.
There are pros and cons to attending this school. I think the school spirit could be better and students should show their support for the student-athletes and go to the home games. I also feel the school was disorganized especially when it came to my major and financial aid. The cafeteria food could use a lot of help. If you are creative there is a place for you. If you are athletic there is a place for you. If you want to give back to the community, there is a place for you. You have to take the good with the bad sometimes.
As a current student at Norfolk State University entering my sophomore year, I have come to love and appreciate the culture of my campus. When first arriving, I was very nervous about the classes I was going to take as well as how I was going to survive without my mom. Norfolk State made it its first priority to get me, as well as others, accustomed to campus living as well as how to succeed in our academics. I would absolutely recommend Norfolk State to people who are looking to be apart of something great. I am now and always will be a spartan BEHOLD THE GREEN & GOLD!!!!!!!

If I could go back in time I would tell myself to try more. I have realiazed that when I truley push myself and put my mind to something I can do amazing things. Yes it requires alot of hardwork but I really love teh adrennaine rush of working hard, whether, it's serving dozens and dozens of people, working on a drawing, leading a children choir, or just exercising. When I fully put my heart and soul in a task I really come out with a masterpiece. And with that information, I could use it to motivate my past self so I could pull out the confindence that I have recently found.
How hard it is to get out! My school has truly raised its standards since I came in. Even though I had a good enough gpa to get into almost any school of my choice, the entry requirements were a little low back then. It was really easy to get into NSU, but definitely hard to get out. The professors are really serious about your education and will truly make you work hard to earn your degree. I can say now that I truly appreciate that aspect of my alma mater.
my school is a very good. we learn also the teachers are vry smart and helpful, and they really strive to give us the best college expierence i really like norfolk state university.
