University of Dubuque LIFE - Meridian 3071 East Franklin Road, Meridian, ID 83642

"It is the first university that I have been to where the staff truly care about the students. They will go above and beyond to ensure you are on the right track. The courses fit perfectly around my work schedule and the staff are an amazing team. I look forward to heading to class every week!"

"I currently attend the University of Dubuque LIFE program and I love it. Taking one class every 5 weeks really fits into my life - I have a 2 year old son, 2 dogs, am a full time employee, and my fiance works nights, so I'm busy basically all of the time. Only having to focus on one class at a time means that I never feel totally overwhelmed with the work load and I don't have to prioritize the content from one class over another. Bonus: The school helps pay for child care if you need it! Every instructor I've had so far has been wonderful, and the CFO of the school even teaches a few too! They absolutely understand what it is to be a non traditional student - several of them having been non traditional students themselves - and I personally feel like they'll work with me more on deadlines and issues that crop up than a "regular" college instructor would. The content of the classes is applicable immediately. The focus is not on rote memorization but how each principle works in the real world. Being able to attend classes in person instead of solely online was a huge draw for me, and I haven't regretted it once. My advisor is amazing and all of the staff that I've interacted with have been wonderful human beings. If you're looking to go back to school in Boise, definitely give U.D. a try."

"Take 1 class for 5 weeks at a time, 9 total a year. Meet only 1 night/week. Great for those working a full time job. Quality education. Supportive staff - less than 10 students in the degree program (as of this date) which means a more personalized experience and the ability to work around your schedule. Accommodating and ability to remote class if you can't make it physically."

"I love The University of Dubuque! Super easy to attend classes with my work schedule. Classes are accelerated and it helps with taking one class at a time. All the instructors have been so kind and helpful. Everyone there really wants the students to succeed. We are able to get more help from our instructors since class sizes are currently smaller. I can’t wait to finish and earn my degree."

"I enjoy working at UD LIFE Meridian and connecting with students. They provide a variety of opportunities for students to earn their degrees while working full-time. In addition, it is unique to have a university in the Treasure Valley area that offers childcare reimbursement for their students to allow them not to worry about the cost of finding a babysitter when they go to class in the evening."
