In 2021, I graduated from Washington High School Of Information and Technology. I dreamed of going forward with my education, so I attended Alverno College as an undergraduate student. Alverno is one of the best colleges in Milwaukee, Wisconsin a great nursing program. It has classes with few students inside. Students have extra time with their Instructors, which I have found so helpful for students, especially me.
This was my first experience at Alverno college. The first time, I was a bit confused with the grading system. Alverno doesn't have grades such as A, B, C, and D. It has satisfactory, unsatisfactory, and Failure. I didn't get the reason for this grading system. Now, I am glad to know the reason. Guess what? I found that Alverno's system wants students to focus more on their knowledge from courses than grades, and this knowledge will prepare undergraduate students for future jobs after graduation. I would like to see Alverno exceed the gymnasium and make it comfortable.

Alverno College has a unique academic strategy that prepares you for "the outside world". The performance based grading allows for self improvement instead of student to student comparison. Diversity of students is represented as many first generation students attend here! Class sizes are small and professors accommodate to your learning needs. To strive at this college, one must be motivated, dedicated, and have a willingness to grow.
What I mostly love about Alverno College is that it is a diversity campus. Everyone is very accepting and caring. Attending Alverno College feels like a home, we are all family here and it feels great to be part of this beautiful community. The overall concept of this college is great, the professors are always aiming for our success, they are always helping us grow as learners and human beings. The fact that every staff member here at Alverno cares that much for our education and us is very loving. I am glad I decided to attend Alverno College it has really helped me grow for the better.
