Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Tip #1. Be prepared to be tested beyond the typical A-U grading scale. The curriculum is based on abilities not letter grading. Tip #2. Get your priorities in order prior to starting. What'Â?s important to you, money or education? Will a potential job interfere with you education? Are you willing to reduce hours at work to focus more time on school? Tip #3. Be ok with working with others! Group work is a thingÂ? at Alverno, anticipate at least one group based project per class. Tip #4. Know your financial need! You may fall short for with government provided aid, so have a backup plan such as scholarships, savings or family help. Having a balance will prevent you from registering for the following semester, extending graduation date.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Sometimes the rigor can be too rigorous, it,s well worth it. You'Â?re paying lots of money so you might as well be challenged.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I have always lived off campus. There are maybe 4 dorm halls, I hear that they are pretty decent. You can access mostly everything indoors. Living on campus may be best if you have to means to do so. Giving dorm life a 2* because I have no knowledge.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Our food and dinning has just been updated. You can get almost anything from food on the grill to the fresh salad bar! Tons of vending throughout the campus and restaurants in close proximity 5 minutes via car.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Campus safety is always around and easily accessible. Since Alverno is an all-women'Â?s college Â?security is strictly enforced
