Viterbo University is truly a home away from home! There is such a sense of community and welcome; I could feel it even while just visiting, but now that I actually attend, I am enveloped in the feeling of camaraderie. Along with the small class sizes and more personalized learning, every faculty member makes a point to get to know you as an individual and works to help you succeed; this is just another bonus of attending Viterbo University!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
A few major tips for prospective students are to take advantage of all that is offered on campus, work hard to keep your grades up, and spend time making strong, lasting relationships.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The classes definitely increase in rigorousness as the years pass, but keep up a good work ethic and try not to procrastinate, and anyone can do well.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Other than the usual close quarters of any dorm, the dorms are a place where friendships flourish and personalities develop and become more obvious. I still am close friends with those on my dorm floor, and I definitely saw everyone's personalities develop, and I saw each person come into their own throughout the year.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The desserts and Steve's station are FANTASTIC!!! Crossroads and Franny's are frequent stops. You can find everything you are craving throughout the year and more.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Other than the many performances that Viterbo puts on, downtown is only a few blocks from campus. Shopping, getting ice cream at the Pearl, going to Riverside Park, hiking on the Bluffs, or hanging around campus and playing in the courtyards are the best ways to spend the weekends!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Viterbo can be pretty pricey, but it offers so much. You are able to see wonderful performances at a reduced price, have smaller, more personalized classes, and get top-notch help if you have any problem.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
There are always security guards patrolling the campus. There are also emergency boxes that alerts security if you are feeling uncomfortable as you walk back to your residence. I have never felt in danger with the superb security that Viterbo has.
