I think Alvernia is one of the top colleges in PA. It has excellent instructors who are great role models and has a high set of morals.
I have gone to Alvernia for my bachelor's degree and I not only obtained an excellent education but I learned much about life's values.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Be open minded and stick to your educational goals. Since Alvernia is not known as a party school that is actually a benefit to the students attending the college.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Academically it has much to offer. I think it carries a lot of weight
when going for a job.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I was a commuter then & I will be a commuter now. I am basing my rating on what others who are in the dorms have told me.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
When I went there in the 90's, it was good in the area of food & dining.
I have just started back there for my masters degree and have not eaten there as of yet.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
I am a retired female returning to Alvernia for my masters degree, so I don't do anything there as far as my social life.
I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, gardening and learning as I am obviously a life long learner!
I do plan on getting involved on some groups that will help the community since I did this in the past and it was very rewarding to me.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I think the money that I spent to go to Alvernia for my bachelors degree was worth every last penny. I got more than an education at Alvernia, I learned what the most important values in life are and right living.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
When I went to Alvernia in the past, you were required to do community service of some kind which I found unusual but a great idea and I am so glad that I did it. I continued doing it once that I got my
bachelors degree as well.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
All types of students can benefit from what is offered at Alvernia.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
I remember being in the club for drug & alcohol which helped others in the community. There are many clubs and activities for the students available on campus and in the surrounding area.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
I have no comments here.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
From going there in the past as well as currently just starting back, I
think the safety on campus appears to be of high priority.
