A one-stop learning center for higher education debuts today in the northwest Valley, with a name that reflects its cutting-edge concept. The Communiversity @ Surprise features three universities, three community colleges and a technical program for high-schoolers at the new Surprise Civic 
Center. Inside the newly-built campus, students will find classmates who range from 16 to 73 years old, all under one roof. They will confront the latest in education delivery at the Communiversity, with some classes taught online, some in person and some in a hybrid format with elements of both. Grace Rodil, a 32-year-old Surprise resident, is not comfortable with online classes, although she will take them if she must to get a bachelor's degree in business. She already has an associate degree in child development, but she wants to move on and Communiversity at 15950 W. Civic Center Plaza is in her backyard. "I will try to take classes in person," she said, while perusing a school brochure. "I think I learn better that way." Proximity is one of the main attractions for Rodil and others in the far West Valley.
