Alum: I went to CMU for undergraduate and graduate school. As an undergraduate science major, I often had trouble completing my assignments despite being the valedictorian of my high school. Many years later I realized the school was trying to teach us how to problem solve, learn things on our own, and get used to the feeling of being lost. In another word, they were training us to be leaders and pioneers. In hindsight, I wish we had career and academic counselors assigned to each student at CMU so we could talk to someone when we were struggling. Tepper was an entirely difference experience. It was hard work, but I got excellent career support and I didn't feel as lost as I did at Mellon College of Science. My Tepper education went a long way in helping me to pass all three levels of CFA exams on my first try. Thank Goodness! After six years at CMU, I was completely prepared to tackle any projects that came my way. I guess all that hard work was worth it.... Read 1,465 reviews

Senior: La Roche is a nice school, especially to keep up with your faith. Very diverse university with students around the world such as the Caribbean, Rwanda, Ethiopia, and Saudi Arabia (just to name a few). There are a community of coaches, Academic Support Services, and professors who all are willing to help you if you put forth the effort. From writing papers to finding internships, the La Roche Community gave me the support I needed to achieve academically and socially, as it provides that sense of family away from family....

Sophomore: I’ve been going to CCAC for 3 semesters now to pursue an associates degree in psychology and Education and it’s been great so far! I really feel like the professors at CCAC are here to teach you something and they will help you to get through all of your struggles. The professors I had always have been understanding of any problems that came up and they were very approachable. I’m glad to have chosen this college as an affordable start before transferring to a 4 year institution. CCAC also offers a variety of clubs and activities that’s are fun to explore. I’m part of the World Cultures Club and we’re going to hold a global food and dance festival this coming April, which will feature dancers from Thailand, eastern countries, and Africa while enjoying over 60 food options from across the world....

Senior: Point Park has been an extremely supportive of all my endeavors here. I initially transferred from Robert Morris, they made the transfer process incredibly easy. All resources are accessible through their website for anything really. My advisor has always been available. I have been able to form meaningful relationships with my professors and department heads, even with online classes. I really cannot think of any other school that compares in flexibility and cost.... Read 1,008 reviews

Graduate Student: Considering how much fun the Savini program is, the amount of time you're there goes by quickly. The instructors really encourage, help and root for your success no matter how new or experienced you are. The only thing to look out for would have to be the housing department affiliated with the school. They aren't the best at handling issues with housing and charge random fees. I would also recommend, if staying in the school's town, that you have a means of transportation. The better shopping center is a town away and there aren't many things to do within the immediate area of where the school is. Otherwise, it was a really pleasant and exciting experience....
