Alverno College Reviews
Rating 3.81 out of 5 993 reviews
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.

Overall, I am disappointed with my experience in the nursing program at Alverno College. The college consistently struggles to retain quality instructors, is continually changing curriculum and expectations, and drastically increasing the cost of tuition with little to show for doing so. Administration practices poor communication skills and fails to create an environment of supported learning. Alverno College is not the same college as it once was - I worry about it failing to thrive in the future.
I AM CURRENTLY A FRESHMAN AT ALVERNO COLLEGE. I HAVE BEEN AT THE COLLEGE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS NOW. I MUST SAY THE AMOUNT OF THE LOVE , SUPPORT, AND FRIENDLINESS I HAVE RECEIVED IS SOMETHING I HAVE NEVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. I LIKE THE CAMPUS, IT IS PRETTY SMALL AND CONNECTED SO YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WALK ALOT AND IT IS VERY GOOD BECAUSE IF THE WEATHER IS BAD YOU DON NOT HAVE TO MOVE OUT IN THE RAIN TO EITHER GO TO YOUR DESIRED LOCATION ON CAMPUS. THEY HAVE THIS BEAUTIFUL GREENHOUSE ON CAMPUS AND IT IS REALLY COOL. I WOULD NOT WANT ANYTHING TO CHANGE HONESTLY. IT IS SIMLPLY THE BEST COLLEGE I COULD EVER THINK OF ATTENDING BESIDES IT IS AN WOMEN'S COLLEGE. AND I BELIEVE THAT SO MANY YOUNG GIRLS AND WOMEN HAVE BEEN GREATLY INSPIRED BY THIS INSTITUTION.
