Best college for opportunities for advancement
Overall 4.5
Alverno has been amazing! Everyone is friendly, the teachers care about you, and you will learn everything in a real life perspective rather than a memorize the textbook and take a test perspective! I will always recommend this school to anyone! I may be biased, but all women thinking of nursing should do it here!

Alverno is a warm welcome committee that allows women to grow and gain confidence amongst themselves. Alverno recently has been under construction and the campus is so beautiful and full with colors.

Though this school is going through a lot with budget cuts, it still has its perks. It is a wonderful place with good and hard working students and faculty. There is such a good community at this place. The classes are fun and so are the people. I've learned so much from the school!

This campus needs work. It's really hard to connect with anyone on this campus because... Well, no one wants to be there. There is just NOTHING to do on campus. Technology available to students is behind 5+ years - even for nursing.
Overall 1.5
LITERALLY HELL. I am in the nursing program & would never wish my worst enemy to come here. Alverno has the worst curriculum ever (since 2019) for their nursing program. Every clinical experience has been horrendous, teachers do not teach, and when you think you will graduate, they will not let you based off of ONE test. DO NOT COME HERE.
Overall 1.6
The campus security takes forever to get to emergencies, especially on campus fights. There is no security cameras in any of the parking lots so it makes it easy to get something stolen, even your car gets stolen (which has happened quite often). The food here is greasy and disgusting, with no real change throughout. Wouldn't recommend this college

Their nursing program is spoken so highly of but yet it's the WORST nursing program I've been in.. I was told to transfer here into their 2+2 program and it was the worst decision of my life. This program only cares about one thing, your money not your success in nursing.. Save your money and do NOT enroll in their nursing program.
