Avila University

Avila University is a private "catholic" college. There is some religion, but it is not forced down your throat if you choose not to participate. The staff and faculty are all so kind and all really care about you. The teachers all really get to know you and make sure you are doing okay emotionally as well as in class. Most of the dorms are very run down, but the newest one is very nice. Your books are included in tuition so you do not have to search for or pay for your books yourself. And laundry is FREE!

Avila University is a great school, they really help in accommodate students like myself who are disabled. They make sure that I have a scribe, which is someone who takes my notes for me due to the fact that my hands are somewhat contracted. I am a quadriplegic, but that does not stop me from earning a degree in education. And what the hell with this cool I know that I can make it, and it's achievable is believing.

My opinion of Avila University is that it is an overall good school, some programs I believe need more faculty in order to create more flexibility, students are able to have more class options, and things are more organized. But overall the faculty was very helpful in directing me in the right direction and would be more than willing to take extra time to sit down with me if there was any confusion or I needed guidance.

Very nice place although it can be a little deceiving. I wish they would’ve been up front about some issues pertaining to how average the dorms are instead of saying they are great. The theatre program is literally the best around and i wouldn’t trade that experience for anything else

My overall opinion of Avila University, is that it is a wonderful school with great connections and opportunities. There’s something there for everyone and what they are interested in whether it’s academics, sports, or other extra-cuticular activities and clubs! The school is a perfect size, which makes classroom settings perfect for teachers and students to actively participate with one another.

Avila is a small college located just slightly outside of Kansas City Center. It's class size is usually a max of 25 and the professors are all engaging, interested in their students and experts in their fields. The campus life is ok but sports aren't very big and for a busy person (who works part time and goes to school full time) it can be hard to attend their events. The students are friendly and overall there is a great feel around campus. Right beyond campus is plenty of restaurants and shops.

I love Avila. The day I stepped foot on the campus just to visit, I felt welcomed. Before I was greeted the campus just had a welcoming atmosphere and I loved it. I knew Avila was my school the second I set foot on the first step of Blasco Hall as the fountains on either side of me were constantly spraying mist into the humid summer air. I did not want to leave and I prayed to get accepted there and my prayers were answered. So far in school, the visit was out done. The campus is perfect. Not too big and not too small, everything is right there. Not only is the campus small, but if say an individual does not want to deal with the rain or snow, the tunnels are the perfect alternate route for students. The faculty, I do not know where to start. I have never had someone care about my education so much (outside of my family). Every teacher, office worker, janitor wants to see each and every student walk across that stage. It almost brings me to tears. Avila is not just a school trying to get money out of it's students, it wants the best for everyone attending. Avila is the best school. Hands down.

Avila University is my second chance at life. I've never truly had a place that I can call home, but being at Avila feels like home. The people are so kind and welcoming, the diversity of different ethnic groups is intriguing,the classes are small and because of that you can get to know others on a more personal level, and it has a small town feel to it even though we are in Missouri's largest city. I hope to be able continue my education here and graduate from here because this is the only campus that I have truly come to love.

I think Avila university is an amazing institution. The academics are outstanding and the professors are great and always available to whenever you need to talk with them. This is a great university for those looking to get a great education and aren't too concerned about the big university experience.

Avila is a small university. Everyone usually knows each other pretty well. The teachers are almost always available and the classes are good because they are smaller than usual. The university isn't in the city but inside neighborhoods of nice rich houses. The city isn't too far away though.
