The best thing about Southern Virginia University is the small, community-like enviroment. Everyone knows everyone and the teachers are so genuinely interested in your success and in helping you achive your goals. SVU requires excellence and honesty from all their stuents and teaches them about being Leader-Servants in the world. SVU is very much influenced by the Church of Jesus Christ, of Latter-day Saints, teaching the principles and doctrines believed by the church members, making it a very religious influenced learning enviroment that I love

Marley

I am most excited about attending SVU because of the intimate learning environment and the strong LDS presence on campus. At larger schools it is all too easy to become a number, a mere statistic. SVU's approach to education, their "genius of small", is designed to best help students achieve academic success while still maintaining their individuality. The LDS values that shape campus life are both complimentary to the education program and they encourage students to make connections and to foster long-lasting uplifting relationships. At SVU you not only improve as a student but also as a person.

Collin

The best thing about my school is the wonderful learning environment it gives to its students. The class sizes are small and the teachers get to have a close friendship with the students to help them learn more effectively. The professors are very well educated and overly qualified. Also, with the strong LDS environment that the school has, it is a safe place to be far from the bad temptations of the world. Lastly, being an NCAA Division III school, it gives a great opportunity for many to become student athletes in a very competitive athletic conference.

Hannah

I think the best thing about my university is it's commitment to high standards, especially in a world where many people reject moral accountability, this school emphasises it extensively.

Brenna

The best thing about my school is the atmosphere that is here. Its easy to makes friends and to get to know alot of people, also for a college setting its really low key and peaceful. The landscape is beautiful and the people here a beautiful too. It is just a good place to be.

Vincent

The opportunity that a small school of this quality can deliver is excellent. You have much more opportunity to be in student government and participate in sports, as well as a myriad of extra curricular activities. Because of the small student population the school is able to offer much better career opportunities through its networking of teachers and alumni.
