It's a very small school so the faculty can give you their undivided attention. They're very passionate about seeing their students succeed and there's plenty of resources available right here on campus. There's no other place like it!
Review Villa Maria College
My experience at Villa Maria college is going great so far. I am able to maintain good grades and gained good relationships with my professors. I would recommend that high school graduates attend Villa Maria College because this college pushes students to do and be better. My first semester ,which was fall 2016 my professors helped me and guide me to success. I ended my fall semester with a 3.6 GPA. When I started college I thought it was gone be difficult but Villa Maria made it easier for me. Now I'm in my second semester spring 2017 and I'm am hoping to gain scholarships because this could help me with the financial struggles I have in college.
I really feel that Villa fits my needs as a student. I have had teachers that really know what they're talking about and positive classroom experiences. The staff are super helpful and I've had the best experiences with them, especially my transfer counselor. He put me on the right path from the very beginning. I think the school really gives you a chance to become an adult because they won't hold your hand through anything. They tell you what you need to do, and then expect you to go do it. Like any other college, if you do your work and do the best you can, you will succeed.
