Admissions

Make sure you enjoy your last year of high school and ask different people about their college adventure, find someone you could model and talk to them. Then prepare yourself for the journey. Make sure you either get familiar with the place if you are not from the east coast. And remember to just have fun.

Enjoy your last year of high school! When you come to orientation here at Chowan ask all kinds of questions! They have faith in your future!

The best tips that I can give prospective students are:
1) Be prepared to have personal interaction with your professors. Unlike larger universities, Chowan is smaller so there are more opportunities to have one to one interactions.

2) You will definitely be able to get involved with student activities and even have the opportunity to start your own clubs and organizations. Do NOT be afraid to express you views and opinions! Chowan is accepting to all students.

3) College is a major life transition, you will make friends for life and build relationships that will last a lifetime. If I have learned anything from being in attendance at Chowan University, I know that stepping out of your comfort zone and not being afraid of who you are will enable you to conquer the college life!
