Sophomore: I'm currently considering a shift to the Bachelor of Computer Science and Arts Degree (BXA). CMU's versatility in offering such a unique blend of art and tech truly speaks to its pioneering spirit in education. It’s not every day you find a university that allows you to bridge two seemingly disparate fields in such a cohesive manner. However, like all institutions, there's always room for improvement. I'd love to see more inter-departmental collaborations. Given the vast array of talent and expertise at CMU, I believe fostering more interdisciplinary projects can lead to even more groundbreaking work. All in all, Carnegie Mellon has given me an environment where I can grow academically while also nurturing my personal interests. If you're looking for a place that challenges you, offers diverse programs, and fosters a sense of community, CMU might just be the place for you!... Read 1,468 reviews

Sophomore: I love the sense of community feel to the school. I like the medium size of the school where you don't feel like a number. The academics are pretty strong, especially the engineering and the CSB programs. Lehigh is also known to have a really good alumni network and really good financial aid packages for those who want need-based opportunities. It does get pretty cold but you'll get used to it. However, it is a slight culture shock that many rich people attend the school but the social scene I feel is fine but is centered around Greek Life, however, you'll find the people you like! The surrounding area is okay, I feel the Northside of Bethlehem is better but not at all a dangerous area, still pretty safe for the most part, just be aware of your surroundings. I am also a minority too and I feel that the political and racial climate is fine, but there is still some microaggressions one can face but I never have felt unsafe. Overall, a really great school and worth it for job outlook!... Read 925 reviews

Niche User: I have visited Westminster College twice in the last four months. Both times, I was invited by a football coach. On the first visit, we took a tour of campus, visited the football facilities, and watched a football game. It was an amazing visit. That day, I got an offer to be a part of their football team. Westminster became my top choice, and it has remained number one since then. Recently, we went on a second visit. This time, my dad attended with us. He was as impressed as we had been the first time. I have applied to Westminster, and I received my financial aid package offer in a very timely manner. Every step of the way, throughout this process, Coach Blake has been a tremendous help. He is more than just a coach. He is a mentor. I am excited at the prospect of attending this college because of the experience I have had during the visiting and application process.... Read 464 reviews

Niche User: As a parent of a Juniata student, the experience has been excellent! The administration and professors really care about the students. There are many beloved traditions--from Mountain Day, to Madrigal, Lobsterfest, and more. Professors go out of their way to help students succeed. There are also many opportunities for hands-on experiential learning, travel, and more. This is also a college where the faculty, administration and students are truly a community! It's not uncommon to be invited to a professor's home for dinner with other students or to bake holiday cookies. The alumni network is strong--with former students willing to bend over backwards to help current students network for internships, first jobs, etc. Many students graduate with great opportunities lined up--whether it's a first job or grad school. An excellent place to get an education!... Read 896 reviews
