Review of Vanguard University of Southern California
from madera, ca
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
take advantage of the community. get to know your professors as well as other students. be prepared to get pushed out of your comfort zone. remember, your story matters.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
this depends on your professor. my classes are not hard; they are just a lot of work. i took a 400 level english class which was definitely challenging, but not impossible. your professors want to work with you and help you.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
so great! freshman year is definitely the most fun year in the dorms. there are numerous fun events and activities planned constantly. the people on your floor become your family. the freshman dorms themselves have no ac and are very cramped for three roommates. the sophomore girls dorms are huge and the newest buildings on campus. however, the plumbing stinks. there are not as many activities in this building and you have to be more extroverted in order to meet new people here.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
i live off the salad bar, usually the hot food disappoints. breakfast is the best meal of the day by far. on the weekends, they serve leftovers and its really sad. they just built a new cofffeeshop on campus which is like starbucks but better and cheaper.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
south coast plaza, newport beach, bonfires at balboa beach, fashion island, ikea, the lost bean, banzai bowl, $5 dollar movies at triangle square, tewinkle park, swing dancing, disneyland, the lab, the camp,
Which types of students will excel at your college?
students who want to get to know others and grow in their relationship with god.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
none
