It was a God-send from beginning to end! The faculty are amazing, the classes are top notch, and God is at the center of everything. I am thankful and proud to call Regent University my alma mater. I highly recommend this school for anyone wishing to obtain their higher education, whether you are coming out of high school or going back to school.

Attending Regent University's 45th Commissioning and Commencement Ceremonies on May 8-10, 2025, was a truly uplifting experience. The event was held at the beautiful Library Plaza on the Virginia Beach campus and celebrated nearly 2,000 graduates. Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears delivered an inspiring keynote address that resonated with Regent's mission of faith and leadership and Divinity student Suraj Paul gave an immaculate graduate reflection reminding us to give Glory to God in all that we do. The ceremony was well-organized, heartfelt, and filled with joy. From the stirring music to the meaningful speeches, every moment honored the hard work and dedication of the graduates. It was a day to remember, marking the beginning of new chapters for all who walked across the stage #regentgrad2025

We are extremely pleased with our daughter's experience at Regent. She earned her elementary education degree in May 2025. We are profoundly grateful for God's provision in covering all her college expenses. We are delighted to share that all tuition and costs were paid in full, and she graduated debt-free. Many parents are praying for this University. The staff here are dedicated to the Lord and serve Him faithfully. It's a truly remarkable institution.

Regent provided me with excellent educational experience! My professors were both knowledgeable and supportive. I earned my masters and currently working on my doctoral degree here.

I visited Regent University today, May 15th, traveling from Arlington just to see the campus. Even though I had only slept around four hours, I felt it was important to experience the university in person.From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by the admissions team. A special thank you to James for taking the time to give me a tour and answer all my questions he was incredibly kind and professional. I also want to thank the rest of the staff for their warm welcome and support. This visit made me feel even more connected to Regent and I truly hope to be part of this community as I pursue my dream of becoming a lawyer.

Great private Christian university. I have never seen a school that values its students and staff like Regent University. I also love how diverse this campus is. These people are heaven sent. Sincerely, Proud Regent Senior Student

Regent University, in my experience, ranks among the worst universities, failing to support students when it truly matters. With just one more class until graduation, I found myself abandoned by the very institution that promised to guide me to success. The financial aid department, instead of ensuring I could continue my education, left me without resources, taking away my financial aid and ultimately derailing my academic journey. Interactions with some of the advisors at Regent were far from helpful. Rudeness seemed to be a norm rather than an exception, and when I expressed my dire situation—being so close to graduation only to face financial and administrative hurdles—one advisor dismissively suggested I "just let it go" since affording the final class was beyond my reach. Financial aid, a lifeline for many students, became a source of stress rather than support. Denying my Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Appeal despite legitimate circumstances felt like a constant roadblock that the university had no intention of helping me overcome. Regent University's handling of such situations reflects a broader pattern of neglect and disregard for student welfare. Instead of fostering a supportive environment, their approach leaves many feeling isolated and defeated. Sadly, they seem more focused on maintaining procedures than addressing individual student needs or concerns. In conclusion, with poor student support and dismissive attitudes, Regent University is a place I'd rate at 1 to 2 stars. They undoubtedly excel in making students feel undervalued and stuck, proving themselves not as a top institution of learning, but as a leader in student dissatisfaction. I would strongly advise looking elsewhere for an institution that genuinely cares about your educational journey.

Outstanding commissioning and Graduation ceremony. I love the students that helped with water, check-in, guidance, and just happy faces to congratulate us.

I attend school online and let me tell you I absolutely love it. What initially won me over was a visit for a family friends graduation in May of 2018. From then on I was hooked. The way they pray with you when there is a challenging …

I came to Regent for a variety of reasons having to do with field of study and Christian worldview. What I did not to come to school for is politics and political propaganda, even though I’m studying government. I was pleasantly surprised …

Regent University is like a hidden gem in the world of education—professors genuinely care and the campus is absolutely stunning. Never thought I'd be so stoked about class discussions!

I left the other university in Lynchburg because of bad practices. I applied and was accepted right away into the MDiv program and I am extremely happy that I did. They are more expensive but worth every penny. The professors are the best …

Loved this place! all but one of my professors were enjoyable and helpful. If a problem were to occur, they would understand and work with your schedule (at times). But overall, a great experience!
