Freshman: I've heard great things about Grand Canyon University! Some of my friends who have attended the school have raved about the friendly and supportive community, the beautiful campus, and the wide range of academic programs available. From what I understand, the faculty and staff at GCU are committed to helping students succeed, both academically and personally, which is really important for a positive college experience. Additionally, GCU offers a lot of opportunities for students to get involved in extracurricular activities and leadership roles, which can be a great way to make new friends and build valuable skills. Overall, I think Grand Canyon University is a great choice for students who are looking for a supportive and engaging college experience.... Read 10,183 reviews

Sophomore: My experience at NAU has been a dream. All of my professors this past year were hard-working and gave their all when it came to their students. I always felt supported by the university through their facilities and programs such as Peer Jacks, free math tutoring, and even the courses such as First Year Seminar, which was the perfect introduction into a new place with new people. With every college there are some downsides however. I found that considering the amount of undergraduates at the university, the lack of staffing for counselors made it almost impossible to be seen. In order to get a meeting with my counselor about upcoming class registration, I have to book an appointment months in advance in order to get ahead of their busy schedule. I think this small thing could be fixed with just adding some people in that department in order to accommodate for the university enrollment. That being said, I have always loved Flagstaff and feel so lucky to call it home!... Read 5,764 reviews

Freshman: Overall I think my student child would have preferred to be in Tempe, although housing seems better. Access to classes in proximity to dorms is great. Parking is limited & pricyley. Cafeteria comfort level ok. The AC wasn't working the last few weeks and requesting carryout costs 6.00! Finally, talk of a plethora of scholarship money out there easily accessible to the ASU website is true. Yet, when applying not a single confirmed positive hit has been reveived. (Still applying and for my student as well. ) Seems that a lot scholarships have strict qualifications, and for Pell grant recipients. However, if Pell grant earners have free money, why would they be prioritized to receive even more free money for college. The system seems unfair. College costs and fafsa awards are not geared for hard working middle /working class families. Rather they're punished by having to take out large loans and not prioritized equally for scholarships.... Read 625 reviews

Senior: Overall, my experience at Prescott College has been wonderful! The classes are very interesting and focused on social and ecological justice. The instructors are passionate about their work and making the world a better place! I attended online, and I thought their online class set-up was excellent. I've learned a lot, grown my skills, and feel inspired. The hardest aspect of going to Prescott was financial. I received little financial aid and the scholarship opportunities, especially for the limited residency program, were extremely limited. I would like to see this school be more accessible to students without parental support. They have a lot to offer!... Read 302 reviews

Sophomore: The University of Arizona has been a transformative experience for me. My involvement in Greek life offered not only memorable social events but also emphasized leadership and community service. The campus boasts a lively social scene, ensuring every student finds their niche. Academically, the English and Business departments were exceptional. The English department nurtured my literary passion, while Business provided practical real-world experience. However, I'd love to see more interdisciplinary courses and expanded mental health resources. Overall, UoA offers a perfect blend of rigorous academics and enriching social life. Highly recommended!... Read 6,985 reviews

Sophomore: ASU online is a self-paced learning environment. Professors upload pre-recorded lecture videos and assignments on Canvas, there is no set time that a student must log in to class. While I mentioned that the course work is self-paced, there is still deadlines to be met. My greatest struggle with this was time management. As a Starbucks shift supervisor, I work around 35-40 hours weekly. It was recommended by my academic advisor to allocate around 20 weekly hours per class. Professors were accomodating, help center was open 24/7, and there were so many resources available for online students. I struggled to practice self discipline and motivation, as no one was there to hold me accountable. Despite my struggles in time management and discipline, I was extremely satisfied with my experience in virtual learning! One improvement I'd like to see is an increase in student interaction. Online school can be isolating, even more so when you have no interactions with other students.... Read 215 reviews

Sophomore: It was very good. I took live online classes because it was in COVID times, but it was still good given the circumstances and the affordability of it. I was happy with it, and basically the only things I would improve would be to make sure the students are understanding and don't have questions before moving on and on from lesson to lesson. I experienced this in my math class. I had straight A's in all of my classes--except for math class. This happened both semesters of the year I did college online in COVID times. The professors at this school were all quite good, I was happy with them. Most of them were very competent and good at explaining and teaching, and even the few that weren't seemed to care a lot about the well-being of the students, and be sympathetic to our situation with all the COVID online weirdness going on. If they hadn't handled that situation so gracefully, I doubt I'd even want to return to MCC. As it is, I am excited to go back this semester!... Read 1,994 reviews

Graduate Student: The campus is clean and very easy to navigate through. All my teachers were very understanding and kept the communication very clear and open. I feel blessed to have had not only great teachers but a nice well kept college close to home. From the FinAid to registration personnel all Departments were accommodating and courteous! As an older college student juggling being a mom, wife and student working full time, the classes were very accommodating. I’m sad I can’t stay here at SCC for the upcoming School year! As I got accepted at PCC for nursing. I hope to have a similar experience at PCC in the Fall 2022.... Read 539 reviews

Freshman: The classes are great and I love the 8-week schedule because it allows you to focus on less classes at a time. The school is mostly made up of athletes, which makes it difficult to fit in and make friends if you are not an athlete. Many students have complained about their roommates, but that could be an issue anywhere. Overall, I would say if you are an athlete, this school would be great for you. It is a Christian university, but as a non-Christian, I would say it is not a super religious place. The only thing is that there is an assembly every Wednesday that can be boring and uninteresting to a non-Christian.... Read 19 reviews

Senior: Outstanding institution of learning. My BA in Government (Legal Studies) will be awarded to me this July. I have to add that when it comes to promptly responding to queries, both Myong, the university counselor, and Marciel, my student services counselor, have been superb! A simple outline that includes all the knowledge required to successfully complete the class serves as the class's program. If you devote the necessary time and effort, you can earn your degree. I will admit that occasionally not enough input is given after assignments have been assessed for complete credit. Although it will take a little longer if you speak with the educators personally, they can give you more details about those scores.... Read 161 reviews
