What do you consider the worst thing about Radford University? Why?

Alyssa

The worst thing about my school is the lack of activities provided from students outside of greek life. Campus does offer 1 activity a weekend on campus and would benefit from offering more on the weekend that hold the same interest level that greek community creates.

Alexis

The worst thing about school is having to start over. For some people this could be a good thing, but going to a school where you don't know anyone and an introvert can be a hard adjustment. I still wouldn't say that this is the "worst thing" but just a hard thing. Some may say that having 8 ams is the worst thing about college but having to go to class and learn is what we all should be here for and it's just part of the college process.

It's in a very small town.

i wouldnt say that there is anything wrong with this school execpet you will get tired of the fast food places around here very quickly but that is at every school. I mean who wants to keep eating the same food everyday. Time to switch it up, you know.

Kayla

The illogical decisions made my those in charge. The decisions may make sense to some, but are decisions that negatively impact students on campus. They have neglected putting students first.

Heather

I feel as if the worst thing about our school is the lack of school spirit and dedication to studies. Many students had other schools in mind and aren't as excited as I wish they were to be here at school. I often find our school in the shadows of other larger school nearby.

Robyn

There are many great things about Radford University that is why I chose to attend this school. Although a downfall of the university would be that many students feel that every night seems to be a good time to go out. It can become dangerous to fall into this routine, and within the past semester I have seen a many fellow students lose interest in why they are here. It is important to remember that studying is the focus of our expenses.

Brianna MacPherson

The worst thing about my school is that during the weekends there aren't any interesting places to go. Our surrounding community has a mall that is extremely small and a couple department stores and a movie theatre, but that's it. After several months the surrounding neighborhood gets boring.

Sarah

I feel that the worst thing about our school is one of the greatest things about it. We are located in the rural southwestern region of Virginia. The worst thing about it is it makes it hard to find work. More people have to move out of this area to find work and the economic downturn has not helped. The faculty here on campus is great about trying to help with this problem with networking in the surrounding areas. Even though this rural area has that negativity it is one of the things that most students enjoy here.

The lax rules about smoking. You aren't supposed to smoke within 25 feet of buildings but this is not enforced.
