Review of Buena Vista University

from Mapleton, IA

Will learn a lot

I am planning on majoring in biology. If science or the medical field is what you are looking at, BVU is the place to go. It has one of the best science departments in Iowa and has a very cool medical internship program at the local hospital.

Will enjoy being here

Seeing as I am not in college, I cannot give an accurate rating on this, but every time I visited campus, everyone seems friendly.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Although this school may be quite expensive (what private university isn't?), they are very generous with financial aid and are willing to work with your situation.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Get to know your admissions counselor. They rock! They also like to check in to make sure you are meeting your deadlines and are always willing to help you.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Great for people who don't want to get 'lost' in a giant sea of people.
