It’s not a dry county! Maybe fifty years ago, if then. How bizarre to think that!

Go to the College Navigator website. Look up Longwood University. Look at the tab for graduation and retention rates.

80% of full-time freshmen who started in fall 2023 returned for fall 2024.
48% of the full-time, first-time students starting in fall 2018 graduated in four years(spring 2022); 61% graduated in six years (spring 2024).
Keep in mind this spans the Covid years, so a good number may have taken a semester or two off, artificially reducing their four-year grad rate.

College Navigator has just been updated within the last few weeks with the most recent IPEDS data in this category.

Prince Edward County hasn't been a dry county in at least 30 years. Source: me, who partied at Longwood and Hampden-Sydney in the 90's and witnessed public drunkenness galore and purchased booze there legally.

When was it a dry county? Prohibition?

Oh puhleeze! FarmVille stopped being a dry county in 1933 - almost 100 years ago. Grow up

Colleges always cite the 6 year rate.

And? That doesn't mean the 4 year rate is over 50 percent.

Here are the 4 year rates:

Daughter applied, got accepted, but will go somewhere else. The business program (her intended major) is not accredited and that’s a big red flag. Other majors might be fine.
