Parent and Family Testimonial

“My daughter has had such a wonderful beginning to her college experience, and we are so happy she chose Viterbo. She feels happy, supported, loved, and at home. Her coach started her campus experience off right and continues to be a great mentor. Her incredible professors are inspiring her to love her major. The kind food service workers and her wonderful RA are making her dorm life feel like a family home. Being a parent several hours away, this is what you want for your child. Thank you to your wonderful campus community for truly making the students your priority. I love your values and what you stand for. I am so happy and tell everyone I know to look at Viterbo University for their high school seniors.”
