Very nice campus, the nursing program is great and very well known. You only have to stay in dorms for one year then you get campus apartments. There is a lot to do in La Crosse area you won't get bored!

The school is right next to the clinic and a Walgreens. Its close to bowling, a movie theatre, and shopping. The school library is a smaller library but the public library is only a few blocks away and the other colleges are near by and we get access to their libraries as well. We get to ride the public bus for free! Small and friendly

If u r living on campus realize that its located in the worst part of town & dont expect to have internet faster than dialup Everything on campus is very limited to what you can do in terms of activities or clubs & the ones they do have r not worth participating in The library is very undersized & cant support the number of people wanting to use it

Transferring out. Just too expensive and too much in your face social justice initiatives. I don't care!

Very few opportunities for student life. Too small and does not invest in student activities. This is a nursing and theater school. It costs too much if you don't want to be a nurse or an out-of-work actor. Transferred to UW-La Crosse and much happier. UWL has a larger campus, and awesome facilities, and still get the small-town feel.

This school is nothing special at all. I did not hate it here but I really didn't love it, or even like it that much. The only good thing about this place is Einsteins, but they have horrible hours. The library is awful. The people here are stuck up. If you're not rich, you're not important. I ended up transferring. Campus outside is beautiful.

This school sucks. The internet is horrible and people act like they are still in high school. The campus is very ghetto considering there was a shooting within two blocks of the campus.
Overall 1.5
Not a good school at all. Especially for non-white students. Teachers pretend to uphold the school values but they don't practice any of those values. I won't recommend you to go to this school. Especially for non-white students.
Overall 1.5
Faculty and administration treat you like children and are incredibly unhelpful. Overall the university is more concerned with taking your money than enriching you as a student and person.

I have mixed feelings about Viterbo. It was a great transition from high school, but as a sophomore, I still feel like I'm in high school. Most of the professors are the most loving and passionate people I've ever met. But overall it is an extremely small school. Some people LOVE it, and some people HATE it. It's what you make of it.
