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.

Favorite courses: My favorite classes were MORIA (Writ 400), The reason was that I was Managing Editor for Issue 11, and I felt a part of the team. Film 200, my introduction to screenwriting class, It was fun to see scripts again and be creative since I did some writing programs when I was younger. INDS 350- Interdisciplinary Research was my favorite class since I was able to combine all my interests into a research topic and present it in any way I wanted to.

Favorite spot on campus and why: My favorite spot would have to be the Library, I usually would be doing work in the main space and focusing on schoolwork. When I want to just hang out and be with friends, I would be in the library courtyard.

I chose to attend Woodbury University because honestly, it’s the small size of it all. I enjoy how small the classes are so that I have a chance to speak to my professor. I have seen some of the big universities that for some classes you need to walk almost 30 minutes to reach your next class, here, you just walk next door. I also wanted to have a major ( Interdisciplinary Studies) that allowed my creative freedom to be present in my work, and I was allowed to be curious and investigate new disciplines.

I chose to attend Woodbury University mostly because of its intimate scale. I appreciate the small class sizes, which provide me with the opportunity to engage directly with my professors. Unlike larger universities where traversing between classes can sometimes entail a 30-minute walk, here everything is conveniently located just a few steps away. I’ve also had friends from back home attend and tell me how great the film major was, and was also thrilled to jump right into film courses my freshman year instead of having to only do general education first.
