Regent University Virginia Beach, VA

The university that prides itself in creating leaders to change the world

Private Suburban Christian

Regent University is a small Christian institution located about twenty minutes inland from the Virginia Beach coastline. Although a rather young university, the campus adopts a stately, timeless architectural style that provides a perfect backdrop for students’ academic pursuits, and has been recognized as one of the most attractive college campuses in the South. The Regent campus occupies a mostly-residential section of Virginia Beach, and the surrounding neighborhoods are full of affordable apartments, condos, and rental houses within easy walking distance. Multiple large shopping centers near the campus offer up everything from groceries to movie theaters to Korean barbecue. Sprawling public parks like Avalon Hills provide excellent grounds to unwind after a long day. Of course, the close proximity to the ocean means that a day at the beach is always a welcome suggestion, and the waterfront Atlantic Avenue is lined with terrific restaurants worthy of your time year-round.
