Great for these types of students This school is great for students wanting to go through a spiritual journey as well as a journey through the unconscious. It is also a school for students who wish to break away form unconventional method to education and prefer a more experiential approach.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The school is centered around a transformational approach. Their mission statement is, Transforming Consciousness through education. As a student a shift in your awareness and consciousness happens where you start seeing the world in a new perspective.
Bang for the buck Southwestern is a private school, therefore it is a little pricey to attend. I believe it is worth the expense. This a very unique and transformational education.
What to do for fun Southwestern College offers a variety or activities that students are invited to attend. For example, twice a week there is free yoga and meditation circles. The college also offers beneficial lectures and brings many speakers to share their experience and knowledge.
Food and Dining The only food to purchase on campus is from a vending machine. There is a student lounge with a refrigerator if one wants to pack a lunch.
Dorm Life There is not a dorm life at Southwestern College, however because of the small school and classrooms a community is created and a family is formed.
Academic Rigor The Academics at Southwestern College are superb and I feel that I am being well prepared to enter the field as an Art Therapist and Counselor.
Tips for prospective students I encourage perspective students to go part time and really make the time to work through their own issues. I also encourage them to step out of their comfort zones while attending this college.
In three sentences Southwestern College is providing me with the best education I could hope for. I wanted a college that has an experiential approach and transpersonal philosophy and I have thus far received that. I am also drawn to their philosophy and emphasis of students working on themselves before they help other people.
