Great Variety

There are many places of variety to eat off campus. They have various asian cusine, fast food, sit down, and late night dining options. Some of my favorite places are the ones that are open late because if i have to pull an all nighter i know they will be there to satisfy the hunger of others.

Things Are Great, but I Could Change Somethings

I love Alverno, but some of the teachers are not willing to work with your situation that you have at hand, and it causes issues with trying to pass classes.

Good Amount but Could Use a Little More Help

I recieve a fair amount of aid, but i could use more since my mother is disabled and i can not work full time during the school year, it would help if things were a little less expensive i would not have such problems finding money.
