I absolutely love Ave Maria University. The campus is strikingly beautiful. It is located in the middle of a beautiful movie-like town, where all the residents know each other. The community is so warm, friendly, and welcoming. Located in sunny Florida, the city of Naples is just forty minutes away, making fun weekend excursions possible. The professors at AMU are excellent. They are passionate about the subjects they teach which makes it easy to look forward to class. My fellow classmates are like family to me. The dorm buildings are very large and roomy enough to bring a sofa and a TV! The cafeteria food is delicious as well and reminds one of home-cooking. During this pandemic, the restrictions put in place made it possible to have fun safely. I am so happy I decided to attend Ave Maria University!

The environment at Ave Maria is one where someone can experience greater freedom in pursuit of the liberal arts. Personally, my studies of the classics and the core have only increased my desire to connect everything to my pursed major and to my life. Since many know that knowledge for the sake of knowledge is the ultimate pursuit of liberal arts, I feel that I too am beginning to taste the beauty, liberality, and joy by continuing on in my studies. I look forward to the coming years and what those years will unfold in my life.

Small School. The goals they have for the school are great. Not for everyone, but still a good school. Located in a great state!
