  1. Massachusetts Institute of Technology

    • 4 Year
    • CAMBRIDGE, MA
    • 636 reviews
    #1 Best Colleges in Boston Area

    Junior: MIT is an outstanding university with numerous and diverse opportunities in research and academics. Classes at MIT are indeed difficult, with homework and associated studying consuming a large chunk of time. The beauty of this is that it pushes students to go above and beyond their previous understanding of what they believed themselves to be capable of. Additionally, the explorative and creative atmosphere which springs from the vibrancy of the student body and the faculty is second to none. There are so many chances to do great things at MIT, even as an undergrad!

  2. Tufts University

    #3 Best Colleges in Boston Area

    Freshman: My first year at Tufts has been a great experience. The (relatively) new engineering building is beautiful, and a new computer science building, as well as a subway station, are to open next year. I've received a lot of support and encouragement from my professors. Although Tufts doesn't have a huge campus, there is always something to do. Whether you want to get involved academically or socially, there is something for everybody. The quality of life at Tufts is superb. The town has shops and restaurants within walking distance. But if you need to go a little further, there is a student-run club that provides bikeshares. Cannot recommend this school enough!

  3. Simmons University

    • 4 Year
    • BOSTON, MA
    • 772 reviews
    #17 Best Colleges in Boston Area

    Alum: I lived at home with my parents in a neighboring town when attending Simmons University. I loved being able to drive to school and parking was never an issue. Simmons is generous with financial aid and grants for transfer students. Classes are small and intimate, so relationships are built between students and professors. The campus is small so walking from building to building never takes long. The campus food is good compared to other universities. There are tons of resources available for the very diverse student body. Groceries and other necessities are within walking distance of both the academic and residential campus. There is a fitness facility neighboring the residential campus that offers group fitness classes as well as a pool. There is much to do socially, as Simmons is right up the street from Fenway Park, many restaurants, and many other universities.

    SUNY Oswego

    • 4 Year
    • OSWEGO, NY
    • 1,431 reviews

    Freshman: My SUNY Oswego experience has been very good so far! The college offers clubs for any kind of interest and anyone can start their own club. The academic advisers promote mental and physical health by reminding students of various resources available on campus including free emergency counseling sessions, free regular counseling, the health center, and many programs that can help students transition into the college life. Some of the programs they offer are time management and learning skills programs that everyone can benefit from.
    Overall, the college is not as bad as I expected it to be!
