Professors are fully willing to pursue your goal with you as long as you are willing to put forth the effort.
Austin from Bondurant, IA
Classes at Buena VIsta are challanging however professors are more than willing to help you throughout courses.
Katrina from Emmetsburg, IA
For what I have seen the academics there are very good for the sciences and social sciences. BVU has an awesome computer science program with professors that really know their subject well.
Abigail from Waukee, IA
I may be a bit biased, but I believe Buena Vista challenges me to think in new ways and tests my previous knowledge while introducing new knowledge.
Makenzie from Glenville, MN
