The Univesity of La Verne is one of the most extraordinary communities I've had the pleasure to be a part of. So welcoming, caring, equal, and just such a positive place. Every professor, counselor, and anyone I've met while attending this school has been the most sincere and genuinely caring persons I've had the pleasure to correspond with. I couldn't say enough good that this school radiates. Everyone has the opportunity at this university, everyone is welcomed, everyone is loved, and everyone is respected. Out of the time I've spent at La Verne, I've created friendships and memories that I will always have and cherish. I'm forever grateful and blessed to be a Panther!

I took online, mixed and in-person classes. Despite my initial fear that online classes would be more vigorous and the teachers would be less helpful, this was not the case. Compared to other styles of teaching, online classes are more personally challenging as you are forced, in some cases, to learn without the teacher or students around. However, this does not necessarily mean that these classes are more difficult. They are generally more flexible for those with outside commitments which allows for a diverse life. Additionally, these classes allow for one-on-one teaching through email or video call which can be more helpful to those who struggle with certain concepts or subjects. Online classes were created for greater opportunities!

I've made new friends, meet tons of new people, and made connections with my professors. But La Verne was not my first choice, I didn't know much about college since I'm first generation. So for the past 4 years, I have had issues with paying for tuition because I didn't get much aid from the school. Staff of financial aid and student accounts were rude at times, making it feel like money is all the school cares about. The thing I liked to see changed is the rising cost of tuition, every year it goes up and it is insane how much a 3.4-5% increase actually is. I can say that La Verne was not the place for me. I feel like I'd do better in bigger classes.I worked with what I got and am in my last semester of undergraduate!
Dorms were nice, but again, expensive. Meal plans are mandatory. You'd need to apply ASAP to pick your preferred spot (only undergraduates, new students are placed).
My final advise: research on financial aid, locations, tuition costs before saying yes.
