Regent University

The Chapel is AMAZING. I went for a gospel concert (Casey J) and it was amazing. The lights, the sounds, just everything. One thing that would help the campus out more is having signs that are visible to show where to go. It took us a while to find where to park for the Chapel.

Beautiful campus. Thats about it. Professors are indeed close minded, it’s the Christian way or the highway. Which is very disappointing as a student you should feel free to voice and support your opinion. Instead you get the stink eye or the silent treatment from professors.
One and done for this scholar. I will be leaving next semester for a university that permits more than one way of thinking.
All the bad things u hear about Regent are true!

I’m currently a student enrolled in Regent’s online courses. I have to say, while I have enjoyed the 8 week class set up, the courses are tremendously overpriced ($ 395.00 per unit + technology fees and several other fees that the school has tacked on). I wouldn’t mind paying this amount if the professors actually taught the classes. So far, I have had to teach myself. There are rarely ever any online tutorials or online lectures so paying this amount for courses is ridiculous. However, I am almost done with my degree so I continue to make the sacrifice. Also, Regent uses blackboard and there is no way to change the time zone. I’m currently living in California so while everyone on the East Coast gets to submit their work by midnight, I only get till 9PM, otherwise it is counted as late. I wouldn’t mind this if I wasn’t working full time. However, I think Regent should try and be more accommodating with time zone differences.

Rigorous standards, great University! I have taken courses at several colleges and universities over the past seven years. Regent Universitie’s standards are amongst the highest I have experienced. Professor’s expect University level work and don’t seem to mind giving low grades for sub-​par work.
Though Regent is a Christian university, my professor’s always encouraged thinking outside of the box and challenged us with difficult philosophical and theological questions.
Great education for a fair tuition.

After attempting to gain a position that is on the website for almost 2 years and finding out that I had the wrong degree I contacted Regent to see what they can do about my loans. I was treated like a second-​class citizen forwarded to the General Counsel who scoffed at me told that their degrees do not have a money back guarantee even if I can’t get the job it’s on their website. Do not go to this university!!!

Great institution with (mostly) excellent professors who genuinely care about you and your education. Very rigorous academics. Down side on campus is the lack of community and unity.
Unlike the prison that is Liberty, chapel is not mandatory and there are no curfews (because we’re adults and that’s just ridiculous).
As another reviewer mentioned, politics and free speech lean one specific way, whether you are a student or professor, if you do not lean their way it really does mean the highway! You will basically be excommunicated from the «holier than thou» circles.
I did very well here for undergrad even though I never faked fitting in and still managed to find some normal friends. I chose to not return to Regent for law school due to a contract that must be signed before admittance into grad school which allows them to expel you if you do not live your private life (off campus) as they see fit. Yeah, no thank you on that!

What an excellent school! Just finished my second semester and I absolutely love it! The instructors are too notch, and the material is challenging, but in a good way. Generally, the degrees are a combination of gene ed classes, cores classes, and required religion classes. It’s a great way to fully understand Christianity, as well as various other religious worldviews.

Great place for learning, but it requires professors to destroy free thought and fires even great ones for petty political reasons

We made the mistake of sending our adult child to this school. If you are a parent considering this school please listen to what I am about to say. This is not our first experience with a Christian school. We have had a great experience with our other child at a great Christian school. Basically the school has been a living nightmare. From the students to the staff. I will try to keep this brief. Here are some of the problems we have had. We arrived to be told my Adult child would have to do most work online, and his/​her major is not offered that year. My adult child entered into an extremely close/​romantic relationship within a week upon arrival. The RA’s are were no help at all. The spiritual leader students were very young and inexperienced. My adult child started seeing the school counselor who uses manipulation to get students to do what he wants them too. We also found out students are having premarital sex, and or are left to sleep together in public dorm areas. Date rape is also very common for/​with female freshman. On trying to remove my adult child we encountered rebellion in him/​her. He/​she did not want to leave the relationship of 6 weeks. Staff has made every effort to have my adult child stay. The school counselor is giving his advice/​opinions of how my adult child could stay. The financial aid department has told my adult child false information about his/​her status making him/​her believe he/​she could stay without parental help. They have told him/​her for $ 25 they can get healthcare from the school nurse, they suggested to save money my adult child enroll in the foodstamp program. They have basically enabled my adult child to go against us as parents. The dean of students was no help either. I could go on and on. Regent see’s each student as $. Please don’t make the mistake we made of thinking this is a Christian school.

Beautiful Campus

After visiting the campus and interacting with the staff, I have the utmost respect and appreciation for this University.
