Dear prospective student, If you plan to attend Woodbury University I would suggest that you come prepared to learn, attentive to what your professors and peers are trying to teach you, as well as being prepared to be committed to your work. When students come to college with an open mind ready to learn from their mistakes and ready to be aware of what is being taught it is much easier for a student to be committed to their work. Pain and frustration will be your number one teacher's here, nevertheless if you preserver, at the end of your four years attending Woodbury, you will be able to see the results.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you have the opportunity to attend, DEFINITELY ATTEND THE SOAR PROGRAM. A month before school starts, students are invited to take a tour of the campus as well as having the opportunity to interact with other students within their major. At first the program may seem a bit childish; a few of the topics discussed by professors include team work or being responsible; however, the college professors help prospective students understand the difference between high school and college responsibility.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Depending on the major being studied at Woodbury, the amount of homework issued can either be a light or a heavy load. For example, students who plan to study in the fields of architecture, graphic design or fashion, students may be assigned 15 to 18 hours of homework based off of the major alone (if not more). Many students who study in these areas usually do not sleep for many nights in a row, especially during midterms and finals. Now, students who would like to study in the area of fashion marketing, accounting, or business management will be assigned a lot less homework (I can not give exact hours for I do not know them). As for the general education classes, in my opinion, the amount of homework given depends on the professor.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
I must say that the food served at Woody's is ABSOLUTELY THE BEST FOOD I HAVE EVER TASTED! Whether you are on a special 600 calorie diet, vegan, or a meat lover, Woody's always has something ready for you. Everything that is served is in the cafeteria is fresh and made right before your very eyes. I can't complain about Woody's.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
I believe the better question to ask is this: WHAT ISN'T THERE TO DO FOR FUN? There are so many activities happening in Woodbury that it is kind of difficult to be board here. As other people have mentioned above, there are many Greek clubs as well as regular clubs. But, what I like most about the clubs at Woodbury is that they ALL give out free food and they ALL worry about the student's social life on campus!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Yes its true, Woodbury University is more expensive than a UC. But do not worry, since Woodbury IS a private school, they give out a lot of scholarships. My first year at Woodbury, more than 80% of my tuition was covered by the school. So, If you apply to this college, make sure you also ask about their scholarships.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
If you are the type of person who loves to study outside, than this is the school for you. The school is so quiet that you can hear birds sing, and even write and essay while watching a deer take a nap out side your class room! No I am not lying, there are deers that like to pass by Woodbury University.
