McKenna - 05/25/2021

I believe that Viterbo University is a great learning environment for any student that is looking for a smaller school that doesn't have many crazy parties and has a friendly environment. Viterbo University has a very welcoming campus, and most students feel safe on campus at all times. The students at Viterbo University are very friendly and make you feel at home the second that you first step onto campus.

Marisa - 07/01/2020

Small school but close knit. Classes are very small and professors are accessible. The school is very artistic and there is a lot of emphasis on music and theater. Not a big sports school, or much for partying. Overall quiet and safe. Perfect for those wanting a small but close knit college to attend who aren’t big fans of partying.

Anne - 11/03/2019

Viterbo University is an amazing university with the resources and academics for academic success and future success in the workplace. The professors have an interest in the students' success in the classroom and genuinely care for how the students are doing. The housing on and off campus provides the students a safe experience on campus and is locked every day to make sure that the student are able to feel safe.

Christopher - 07/12/2019

Viterbo is a great economy of students and professors. My very first day on campus was full of energetic students and professors that were there to assist you in whatever way they could it was almost scary. This was new to me. The schools' culture is diverse as well. While nursing, business, and art majors sum up the school there isn't a decline in out of class comingling. The majority of campus is engaged in a school sport myself included. and there are various other clubs and activities to join or engage in.

  13. Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!

    The difference in our college is that we are a private Catholic college. The classes here are smaller than at most public colleges so I feel we receive a better quality education. The price of the college is on the higher end, but no one can put a price on their future. Many of the professors want you to feel very comfortable and will communicate with you as often and frequently as possible to get to know you better, especially those professors with whom one works with because of his/her particular major.
