There are some good and bad things about Alverno, but mostly good. There are no formal grades, so you are not working towards a letter, but beware, it is not an easy school. Faculty is wonderful in offering help, they make it harder for students to fail than to pass. It is an all-woman college, but there are guys around. There is a new president at the school and she seems intent on getting rid of the nuns, so I don't know where that will go. Also, watch out for financial aid. If you do not have kids or are not dirt poor, they will not help you find any decent financial aid. That being said, Alverno is a great investment.

While I felt that UWM was barely challenging Alverno's integrated learning approach forced me to DEMONSTRATE my understanding of the materials taught rather than testing my recall and ability to take a test. A major factor in my transfer to Alverno was the weekend college program which is attended primarily by adult students. What a refreshing change - we are expected to take responsibility for our own learning in accelerated classes. The professors do not babysit us or give us busywork. BUT there are plenty of ways to achieve an unsatisfactory in the program and only yhose dedicated to completion will graduate. A top notch communications program for adult women returning to school. I recommend it. Kim Kasper Dec. 2006 Grad Education Quality: A+, Social Life: C Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.

IF possible find our about taking summer courses before your first semester. This give you a chance to get some classes out of the way! Also take classes in the summer if possible...you could get done faster. Take advantage of the help that id offered. Study hard, some of the tests are very challenging. DONT BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP!! If you don't pass all of the criteria for a certain class, you could fail. Trust me. I know. Buy books online instead of from the bookstore..you could save some money. Childcare is available and the daycare providers are wonderful. Great learning environment for children. Tuition is high, find scholarships or grants. Fill out your FAFSA! Cafeteria food is kind of expensive sometimes. Full size lockers availabe, you provide the lock.
