Review of University of La Verne

from Riverside, CA

Describe your college in three sentences.

La Verne is a small college that offers a lot to its students. The staff and students are friendly. The campus is beautiful and small so you get a homey feeling when you're there.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Never be afraid to ask questions to the staff or faculty. They are always willing to help you out through anything.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

La Verne is a really good school. The professors know the field they are teaching and are willing to ask any questions at any times. Since it is a small school with small class sizes they will learn your name in time. The professors teach so well and have office hours for thier students where you can ask them quesitons about the homework, class lecture, or just simply to talk to them.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

I love my dorm life!!! I dorm in Oaks and it's a really good building that comes with a lounge, kitchen, and AC/Heating. You can dorm in Stu Han, Brandt, Oaks, or Vista (which are the brand new ones). By dorming you really get the whole college experience. If you have a class at 8am you can wake up at 7:40 get ready in 10 mins and be able to make it to class on time since the campus is small. By dorming you are able to make friends faster and have so much more fun. I defintely reccomend it for your first year. :)

Describe the food and dining at your college.

You can eat at Davenport (which is the cafeteria) or at Barbara's Place (a cafe). They are both good places to eat. At Davenport they offer different varities of food that you will never get tired of. At Barbara's Place they have various snacks and have a Mexican girll which is really good!!! You have to try the carne asada fries!!! :D and if you ever do get tired of the food on campus right next to the school is old town La Verne (downtown) where there are plenty of good choice there too.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

There really isn't much to do around the campus since it is a small city but there are plenty of events that take place on the school that are really fun like movie nights, games, and of course the parties. If you want to go out of town there are alot of shopping centers, theaters, and what not 5-15 mins away by car :)

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

It is really safe on this campus even late at night., If you ever don't feel safe walking out of a night class you can always call campus safety and they will escort you to wherever you need to go!!
