I constantly tell my friends that Alverno College is stress free. What I mean by that is when you compare the class size of Alverno to a university, there is a huge difference. Alverno has small class sizes which allows students to have more one-on-one time with the professor. That is extremely helpful when you do not understand something in class.

Alverno College doesn't give grades, like other colleges/universities do. Alverno is more about improving your work. Instead of giving you a grade they give you feedback so that you can improve on your next assignment. Alverno has a pass or fail curriculum but if you prefer a GPA your advisor can always help you with that.
