Avila faves:  My favorite thing about Avila is how small the classes sizes were.  This allowed for all of my questions to be answered in class and the teachers made sure that everyone had a clear understanding of the material.   

Update/ Plans: I had an internship with RCHA this summer and I am going to continue working there full time once I graduate.

Avila faves: I love the small classes at Avila. It not only lets you get closer to your professors, but your classmates as well. In 4 years here I have met many other students who have helped me grow and learn. 

Update/Plans: I currently work for a start-up company, and am eager to see them grow and expand into a successful business.

Avila faves: I love how we have small classes. I really feel like my teachers truly want me to succeed and have helped me in any way they can.

Update/Plans: After I graduate, I plan on moving to Versailles, MO where my fiancee and I own a house. I plan on getting a job either in Jefferson City or in Osage.

Avila faves: The best thing about Avila to me was being able to receive invaluable one-on-one attention in the classroom while also getting to experience the perks of going to school in a big city.

Update/Plans: I will be attending Kansas University in the fall to receive my Masters degree in Accounting, and then hopefully attaining my CPA license the following summer. I plan on starting my career at PricewaterhouseCoopers in the Fall of 2014.
