Since coming to Christopher Newport University, I have met so many different types of people that I never would have thought I would. This campus attracts people who want a sense of community and trust. Whatever it is you want to explore in your college days, Christopher Newport staff is here to help guide you and work towards your goals with you. The support system is so strong and everyone here wants us to succeed. I can truly say I have found a home away from home and made some lifelong friends here. Below are quotes from students in sports, bands, sororities, clubs, etc. on why they love our school.
We Love Our Education

“The choice of classes you can take to complete a major. For example, being able to focus on domestic or international politics”. –Jamie Watcher
“One of the things I love about CNU is the ever growing campus because it shows the schools desire to gain prestige and send their graduating students into the world with a degree that sets them up for a good path to happiness and success”. –Cazzie Olko
“I love the opportunity that CNU gives each and every student. No matter your background or field of study, you can get involved in lots of different organizations and set yourself up for success. I enjoy being a part of so much on this campus and experiencing different things before graduating”. –Chrissy Lowery
“I love the Honors seminars, right now I am in an Alfred Hitchcock film class and really enjoy it!” -Braiden Johnson"
“I like how it offers my major which is studio art, and how it allows me to explores the different varieties of art. Also when I am able to wake up and make breakfast, I am always looking forward to an omelet made my Ms. Virginia.” –James Lee
We Love The Social Aspect Of Our School
“I absolutely love walking to class and being able to see and say hi to people I know- I don’t think that’s something you get at a big school”. – Carly Melkus
“The size of the population is perfect at CNU. It’s small enough where you see a few friends on campus anywhere you go, but big enough where you also see new faces everyday. Classes are kept to a size that aren’t overwhelming and where you feel like just a number. Depending on the professor, some may even try to know every student by name even in the larger classes”. –Jordan Latorre
“I love Wednesday’s for Buffalo chicken wraps” -Leah Widdifield
"When I decided not to further my soccer career and to come to CNU instead I was terrified I would regret it, but CNU has helped me make some of the best friendships I’ve ever had. I am in a sorority, play on the ultimate Frisbee team and just went on an alternative spring break trip to West Virginia. There are endless possibilities and amazing support systems to help you chose what you want to do to make your college experience the best it can be”. –Susan Duffy
