The university of the virgin islands
is a good choice. The teachers are very understanding and they make sure to help each student before moving to the next lesson. The staff on campus do their very best in assisting newcomers to ensure no one is left behind. Overall, UVI is great! One thing that can Improve is more on the technical side. During the pandemic, we were all moved to online schooling, but due to some of the teachers being more accustomed to in-person teaching many teachers had difficulties during class which caused
multiple complications that resulted in a decrease in our grades. I feel that there should be a short workshop for teachers who are not so into technology so that if there is a future situation where we have to be switched to online classes again then the teachers would already have the general knowledge for that situation. Also, I feel that grades should be turned in on time and not last minute, so students can have an accurate answer for where they stand.
Start Your Review of University of the Virgin Islands
UVI is a Historically Black College and University (HBCU). You can expect a top-notch education with outstanding
instruction. All degree programs on the undergraduate and graduate levels are very rigorous, and prepare you for your career and life! Attending UVI has been a great academic decision for me, on reason being it was very cost effective. In state and out of state tuition and overall costs are much cheaper compared to other colleges and universities nationwide. There are various sport teams, clubs, groups, and other extracurricular activities that an individual can participate in that will enhance
your academic career. The school's population is quite diverse as students are of various cultures, ethnicity, religious beliefs, and sexual orientation; this contributes to the type of experience that you will have. However, one major drawback is the scheduling of classes which do not provide much flexibility for individuals who are working full-time and may be single parents.
What I loved about University of the Virgin Islands were the work was very challenging. The staff was very knowledgeable in the subjects they were teaching. The administration was very knowledgeable in their prospective positions. The staff was also very friendly, helpful and they knew each student's name.
