Student Ratings
Emily Bishop Student at This School - Grad Year 2016
The work load isn't unbearable, if you put time into doing your school work, you're going to do well. The class sizes are great, usually around 40 people when you're doing first year classes, and I heard they get smaller as you go.
ShaRhonda Dillard Student at This School - Grad Year 2015
Radford has grown tremendously over the years and almost feels as though we have more students than we can actually fit, so overall everything feels overly populated. I have not come across a professor that I just didn't like or I felt was not helpful, and the workload is easy but sometimes feels pointless.
