What students are saying about Ananda College of Living Wisdom:

"The schools I attended before coming here just piled on facts until my true nature was buried so far that I forgot who I was.   Now, I have a re-discovered confidence and I'm able to focus on what I really want to do with my life.   I wish I could give everyone the gift of happiness I now have within me."

"After receiving more than 90 units at a local community college, I realized something very important was lacking from the modern approach to education: heart. By this quality I mean that aspect of a class that cultivates enthusiasm and ignites the spark for a passionate search for that one very special route one should follow. In my community college classes the curriculum followed the same drawn out process of implanting in student's minds a vast array of facts and figures necessary to fulfill the requirements of the course without any reference to how the information might contribute to a sense of fulfillment and success for students.  At Ananda College of Living Wisdom I've gained invaluable insights into how I can approach life successfully.  The classroom dialogues here help me feel respected and honored which in turn cultivates within me a strong awareness of my unique capabilities--something that is normally repressed in modern day education."

"In this unique residential environment I have a chance to get to know myself and find out what I really want in life.  Here, I feel the instructors really care about my development."

"Not only has my knowledge increased since I first came to Ananda College of Living Wisdom, but I now have many tools and understanding to help me in my daily life.   The understanding of myself in relation to the world has shifted tremendously.  My studies have given me endless resources and tools, allowing me to continue my education long after I graduate.  I have been able to connect with my deepest Self and draw inspiration from this source to guide my future."

"The students here are by far the most phenomenal group of young folks I have ever met in my life.   They are conscious, inspired, caring, intelligent and incredibly loving."
