As a nursing major, I have been exposed to many different types of people, cultures, and opportunities, which were all good and beneficial to me. I am a commuter, so I don't really get to experience the college life if I were to live on campus all the time. However, that doesn't all that much, because I have some of the best friends that I could possibly have on this campus. Everyone in my nursing cohort is kind, smart, compassionate, and loves everything that nursing has to offer us. Yes, there is a lot of studying and stressing about what may become of us in the future. But the fact that we all experience this same pain together only makes us stronger and more resilient as people, and I can see it in everything single one of my friends. I also play tennis for our university, which has been an amazing experience whenever I want to get away from the classroom and studying. It takes a lot of dedication to be able to attend a college, but I am sure that I will make my mark here!
I loved the welcoming environment. Theres alwasys someone willing to help and listen. The teachers are willing to help students find a love of learning.
I will be an incoming Freshman and so far I love the staff, campus and the overall feel of the university.
I enjoyed being on a small campus and how it made you closer to the people in your class. It was especially helpful to be a little bored when you have a difficult major.
I enjoy Alvernia because of the amazing people and the wonderful campus. I love being part of the men's soccer team while facing a rigorous but rewarding mechanical engineering program. If I could change something, it would be the accommodations for students traveling to the city campus. There could be provided meals for when we couldn't be back to utilize the cafeteria.
I love the campus, but the food needs to be better. The cost has increased significantly since the pandemic, but we are not seeing quality changes on the main campus. The professors are all really nice and care about the students. In my major, the professors are absolutely incredible, and really want to see you succeed.
A lot of opportunities to connect with other students and to get to know the campus. Alvernia always has activities for the students to do every week so they can have fun and get away from stress.
Everything seemed scary after graduating from high school in 2022 and beginning my career journey at Alvernia University in the Fall of 2022. College is very different in all aspects compared to high school. In college, you are not in class 24/7. Depending on your major, there is more time on your own which should be intended to study however managing self-care is a must. Some professors may be super willing to help others not so much. Your best friend, specifically at this campus, is the tutoring sessions offered at no cost at the Academic Center they are there to help you in every subject. As a first-gen, it was hard to adjust to the new lifestyle, and although I'm a commuter, things are still challenging. But something I love about the campus is it's surrounded by nature. Every time you transition from class to class, you can breathe fresh air again to gain strength. Alvernia does offer the resources to help you achieve your goals. It's only a matter of time and will to use them.
The professors at Alvernia are amazing but the people that work in financing need some better sensitivity training on how to deal with students.
I have yet to take any classes at Alvernia, however when you visit the campus it is a clean and welcoming environment. Staff is ready to help you with whatever questions you may have. The application and admission process is made much easier due to how helpful the staff is, making me incredibly excited to start classes and secure in my decision.
I love the campus and it’s very diverse which you could met new people and really connect with them from different states and to really get out there more. The experience is amazing
I have loved my years at Alvernia University. From the academically rigorous classes and the active social life, I am so excited to be a student here. When we go on break, I find myself missing campus, and this experience, I move back in as soon as I can. The friends and memories I have made here will last a lifetime. Forever thankful for AU!
Overall I think Alverina is a pretty decent school. I have gotten many great opportunities here. Although it might not be the best school, I would recommend it to anyone. The people who work here definitely care for you on & off campus.

Alvernia University has provided me with countless opportunities to further my education, including real-world learning experiences. These include a mission trip to Belize to provide much needed healthcare to Belizeans with 3 other universities. I have had the opportunity to go to Italy on the Franciscan Pilgrimage and I am hoping to attend the Ireland trip next year for healthcare students. Alvernia University's professors truly care about your education and do anything they can to support you and see you succeed.
Alvernia University's campus environment is beautiful and truly comfortable. I chose the school not only for my academic program, but for the small class sizes that personalizes my learning.

Alvernia University is a good school to attend with beneficial people, experiences, and opportunities.
I like the community on campus, the staff, and the professors! The classes are fun and the nursing program is great!
I love Alvernia for its programs, it’s social aspect within a small campus, and for building us as ethical leaders and members of society!
Alvernia University provides an outstanding and rigourus academic experience grounded in Fransican values. My Alvernia experience has made a lasting impact on me, and I am confident I am receiving the education I need to be successful in my career field of nursing. Alvernia has a small home and community feel inside and outside of the classroom. Inside of the classroom, my favorite aspect of Alvernia is the supportive faculty who look out for all students success and thrive to build relationships with them. Outside of the classroom the availability of extra curricular activities, on campus jobs, and student engagement opportunities provide the perfect atmosphere for growth and development. My involvement at Alvernia as a Golden Guide Ambassador, club president, and orientation weekend leader have made my Alvernia experience one that will leave a lasting impact on me, and will provide me with the skills and traits I need in order to be successful after graduation.
Alvernia is a great school to attend. The professors and students are great but I believe that the new things they are doing are taking away from the students. The people in power per se are so worried about the money they are taking away from student life.
