Newport News, affectionately known as Bad Newz is one of Virginia's largest cities in perhaps the largest metropolitan area in Virginia. The overall feel of the city is industrial urban/non-descript urban sprawl. The most charming & distinctive areas of the city are Hilton Village, Port Warwick, City Center, East End, and Huntington Heights.
To the ears of other cities in Hampton Roads which is the surrounding metro area, Newport News conjurs images of shipyards, ports, violent crime, drug infested neighborhoods, and beautiful river vistas. Newport News has some of the best shopping and retail for 100 miles around, with vast commercial areas including shops, department stores, hundreds of resturants, and theaters. Within the past 5 years Newport News has seen unparalelled urban and highrise growth and renewal, now making the city one of the finest cities in the Tidewater area.
Newport News may still have that ghetto reputation but it is becoming more than just a rusted, industrial, cookie-cutter, urban no-where-ville that it was from the 70's through the 90's. The city is now capturing an identity of it's own, and a renaissance of sorts is happening there as we speak!
Newport News is home to Ella Fitzgerald, Pearl Baily, Michael Vick, Allen Iverson, Arron Brooks, Marcus Vick, and many future famous people. 50cent refers to Newport News in his song Ski Mask Way, stirring controversy with local rappers.
Newport News is one of the most (Black to White) integrated areas of the U.S. Demographics are nearly split with many neighborhoods in the city splitting 50/50. The East End and many areas of Denbigh are exclusively African American, while there are virtially no exclusively White parts of the city.
Bottom line, this place is probably quite different from where you live, anywhere else in America.

Get the Newport News mug.Someone from Newport Beach, who fits the stereotype of an entitled, unreliable, bitch. At first, it’s on its best behavior. It will zip you through the PCH in a shiny sports car. Once you have the keys to the door, the secrets slowly leak out, making you feel uncomfortable, and a bit comical.

A school that Jews their students out of money in every way imaginable. They force students to live on a dry campus for three years in severely overpriced dorms, and underclasaman are required to buy meal plans that equate to $15 a meal for shit food. They try to talk up having small class sizes to prospective students, but jew you during registration and make you jump through hoops to get overrides into your classes. The school president is Paul Triblestein, and is the man who implemented many of these policies. Overall, the school feels like a giant synagogue, and every student or alumni will have a story about how they were jewed out of money.
If you want a to go to school and get nickeled and dimed by a bunch of Jews, then Christopher Newport University is the school for you.
