Ask a Woodbury University Student

(he/him/his)

I come from Fontana, CA.

I speak English and Spanish.

Clubs/groups you are involved in on-campus: President of Delta Sigma Phi.

Favorite courses: I really enjoyed my ARCH 125 course because it focused on architecture in SoCal. For that class, we got to take field trips to those locations and take class outside of campus.

Favorite spot on campus and why: My architecture studio space is my favorite spot because it becomes your own work space. It’s also a great place to collaborate and work with your friends on projects any time of the day or night.

Hobbies/interests: I enjoy playing soccer, golf, and being active. I also love spending time with friends. I am also interested in traveling all around the world.

I chose to attend Woodbury University because of the unique feeling at Woodbury of not being just a number or face in a class. I feel like it is my home away from home which has been great when having to spend majority of my time on campus. The architecture program was also the main reason why I decided to attend Woodbury due to learning how to work on projects digitally and physically especially since I like working hands on.

I come from Pasadena, CA.

I speak English and Spanish.

Clubs/groups you are involved in on-campus: Academic Peer Mentor (APM).

Favorite courses: I really enjoy all my courses, which makes it hard to pick a favorite. Each professor shares different life experiences that make each class fun and unique.

Favorite spot on campus and why: My favorite spot on campus is the main quad area because the trees provide an abundance of shade and the walk ways are filled with activities and giveaways from different student organizations such as CAB and ASWU.

Hobbies/interests: I enjoy riding my bike, dancing, singing, spending time with family and friends, going to Church, reading, and eating.

I chose to attend Woodbury University because of its intimate community and the shared history with the Villa Cabrini Academy. Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini was the first U.S. citizen to reach sainthood and founded the Villa Cabrini Academy. She was invited to Los Angeles to support the growing population of poor Italian families which were being threaten by the rampant spread of Tuberculosis. Cabrini sought to create a safe and clean environment for girls’ education, which led her to establish the Mother Cabrini Preventorium. The preventorium was transformed into the Villa Cabrini Academy high school, which operated until its closure. The building temporarily housed the California Institute of the Arts, and in 1987, Woodbury University relocated to the campus.

(he/him/his)

I come from Chatsworth, CA.

I speak English and Persian.

Clubs/groups you are involved in on-campus: I am part of the American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS) Woodbury Chapter.

Favorite courses: My favorite courses are my studio class of each semester, and ARTH 205. The studio class is the main course for architecture to learn new software and come up with new design ideas and creating models. I also enjoyed the History of Contemporary Art class which gave me a new perspective on art and I appreciated the friendliness of my professor.

Favorite Spot on campus and why: Well, I have two favorite spots on campus, the first one would be my studio since I basically live there and do everything, and the second would be the walkway from School of Architecture to Woody’s, our campus Cafe because of the green environment it has which boosts my spirit.

Hobbies/interests: I like to read, watch movies/TV shows and hang out with friends.

I chose to attend Woodbury University because it’s accredited architect school, because of its size it’s not too crowded, has 24/7 access to studios with 24/7 security around which makes it a safe place to be at.

I come from North Hollywood, CA

I speak English and Russian

Clubs/groups you are involved in on-campus: Psychology club

Favorite courses: I really enjoyed my Journeys (INDS 101) class with Professor Mike Sonksen because I got to dedicate time to learning more about my own life journey through journaling and reflection and I was able to take inspiration from my classmates and other artists we learned about.

Favorite spot on campus and why: My favorite spot is Woody’s, our dining hall, because I feel like it is the heart of campus. I love getting some good food and looking at the art wall inside or looking out at the greenery of the quad when I sit on the patio.

Hobbies/interests: I like rock climbing, writing, listening to music, learning new things, and spending time with my favorite people.

I chose to attend Woodbury because the small community allows me to bond with my peers and get one-on-one access to professors and faculty. I also love that Woodbury prioritizes giving students real-world experience through projects and internships before we even graduate. We all work together to help each other succeed.
