Freshman: I’m a dance major at NYU tisch and although this school is very expensive I’ve been loving the experience I’ve had so far. I can’t speak for other majors but being in the dance department it’s very easy to build community and make friends that will definitely last a life time. I will say one of the major flaws I have noticed with nyu (besides the tuition lol) is communication specifically within the financial department. As someone who genuinely cannot afford this school and is going to be in thousands of dollars in debt, I’ve been trying to reach out and appeal my financial aid in hopes to get more but they never answer any of my questions or respond to previous appeals I have sent. Also the campus is very spread out lol. Other than that, living here in NYC and going to my dream school has been nothing but surreal! My GE classes are super fun and I definitely recommended taking CAMS classes!... Read 5,555 reviews

  Rating 3.63 out of 5  3,472 reviews

Sophomore: Syracuse University overall is a great school with great academics, connections, and social scenery. All of the academic departments are incredibly well-connected and have endless opportunities for students, if they choose to reach out and connect with professors/alumni. The school also offers a great deal of clubs and activities for all different groups of people, and there is typically a good social life/education balance. While Syracuse is a great school, it does have its faults. 1) Syracuse dorm living and dining halls are flawed, as they tend to over admit students making feels comfortable and getting food in dining halls difficult. 2) If you do not get involved in some type of way, it can be impossible to find friends. 3) I do not think the schools does a very great job at taking on mental health/physical health concerns. 4) Syracuse weather (although not really the school's fault). Overall, SU is great, so take everything with a grain of salt, and come visit yourself!... Read 3,472 reviews

Sophomore: As a sophomore, I transferred to St. Joseph's University. Everyone I met on campus made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The admissions staff was extremely helpful and made certain that I had all of the information I needed to make the transition as easy as possible. When classes began, I was impressed by the professors' kindness and helpfulness. They were eager to help me catch up on any material I had missed and ensure I understood everything. They seemed to genuinely care about my success. The campus is lovely and well-kept, and the location in Brooklyn is ideal. I enjoy being in the city and all it has to offer while still maintaining a campus atmosphere. I believe it is the ideal combination. Overall, I'm glad I decided to transfer to St. Joseph's University. The friendly atmosphere and helpful professors have made it an excellent place for me to further my education.... Read 307 reviews

Sophomore: I like how encouraging New Paltz is to its students! It feels like they really care about the student body. A decent amount of the professors just want their students to understand material and not be in crippling debt so they’ll do things like upload free resources or not require a textbook; it’s very much appreciated. The overall campus feels pretty safe too! It truly feels like they have our best interest in mind. Although New Paltz promotes equity amongst its student body, I would like to see that further enforced. Students from certain minority groups tend to be represented. However, I would like to see students of color to get the protection and acknowledgment they deserve. The student body is fairly white, which isn’t an issue until that ushers in ignorant comments and prejudice toward POC students. New Paltz tries to avoid racial biases, and negative interactions, but they do happen, and when they do, they aren’t taken that seriously. That definitely needs to change.... Read 1,433 reviews

Alum: AMAZING education, amazing people, amazing environment. I just graduated with my bachelors and will go back for masters! If you are looking for a warm, welcoming university that emphasizes the importance of education in adults, I would recommend this college.There are various degrees and oppourtunite to succeed at CUNY CCNY. You will never feel like you are alone and you can always reach out to their amazing staff who is always there whenever you need them. The advising department as well as the financial aid department are super helpful and attentive to students. As far as student life goes, there are multiple events and clubs one can attend and become a part of. There is also a piano in the NAC building that is free for students to stop and play during their free times. Everyone I've met here are wonderful, kind hearted people and those are the ones that I will cherish forever. I have made many of my lifelong friends here and I am thankful for everything this college gave me.... Read 1,781 reviews

Freshman: For most people Hunter provides enough of a community to have a good social life, but enough independence to pursue personal endeavors, unlike the high school atmosphere. Most courses offered for business, technology and policy are surprisingly interesting and are worthwhile to attend, even though they aren't the school's primary focus. However for the most part, your experience is mostly dependent on how much effort you put into pursuing opportunities, whether they be social, educational, or career wise. It is to be noted that the experiences between dorming and commuting can be quite different, especially in social life.... Read 2,314 reviews

Freshman: At the University at Albany, I have met such an incredible, diverse group of people enrolled. I am always greeted with so many familiar faces despite the campus size. Our RA was exceptionally helpful and considerate. There was never a lack of communication on spreading the word to help students' involvement. Committing to get involved in clubs gave me the opportunity to build lifelong friendships. There is an endless amount of educational opportunity, and the professors are well informed and supportive. Communication is a crucial factor in succeeding at this University due to its size. The University is extremely school spirited. UAlbany students are proud to attend this University and want to represent it. I found that the people I surrounded myself with everyday became my new family, and they lift me up and inspire me to become better every day. I have found myself in a positive and healthy environment as do many of my peers finishing our first year! Go Great Danes!... Read 2,427 reviews

Senior: I am currently in my fourth and final year at Roberts. In terms of academics, it is a small school, so you really get to know the professors. It is easy to meet with them one-on-one to help with any struggles. In terms of social life, I feel like there is always some event going on that students can get involved with. There are also a ton of groups that students can join in leadership roles to help put these events on. Sometimes these positions may come with a small scholarship! The people at Roberts are really the best part of the school. I've met some of my best friends here and have made hundreds of other connections with others across campus. In terms of faith, I can confidently say that I learned a lot more about Christ and have significantly built upon my faith since entering Roberts. The chapels, classes, and surrounding myself with believers were all beneficial. Overall, Roberts gave me the best experience I could have asked for. I would highly recommend the school to others!...

It is not like any other college where your professor see you as nothing more than a number or a barcode. At Hofstra you feel like you matter academically. Professor are extremely knowledgeable in their field of study and have multiple years of experience to back it up. The food it average however that is easily replaced by the surrounding area. Which filled with diverse food options ranging from Caribbean to Asian cuisine. If you love the big city Hofstra provides you that and more!

I didn't have any problems making friends because of the amount of activities that there are to choose from as soon as you step on campus. I have made the best of friends and I have only been there for about two years. Out of all of the schools that I have been to, Niagara has just struck me as the most friendly, beautiful, welcoming schools that I could even imagine myself going to. With a perfect location, you really get to see the true beauty of Niagara. I will never regret choosing this school as it has made me my best friends and the best college experience.

Sophomore: The community of students is amazing, and the professors I have had the privilege to learn from have been compassionate, engaging, and incredibly intelligent. I am more than satisfied with my education, as well as some of the schools resources available to us as students: A makerspace, studio space, frequent events, select classes at Cornell, an extensive physical and digital library, full kitchens, hiking trails, free bus fare, etc. However, Ithaca’s shortcomings have affected my ability to learn in a lot of ways. The dining halls are unpredictable and difficult to reach for dietary restrictions, the campus is barely wheelchair accessible, and my major (Theatre Studies) has been overlooked, understaffed, and under resourced by the school’s administration and the arts administration. I want to love this school. It’s on the edge of the woods but still close to downtown, it provides students with hundreds of unique opportunities, and my professors have my whole heart.

Junior: Queens is a very nice school. They've got a lot of great faculty members and staff to help you achieve your goal. They'll teach you how to be independent and prepare you to move on to the next level. As a Queens College student, you can be part of the QC Seeks Program, which provides academic advising, support services, and related resources designed to support and create a more successful college experience. The Queens College Seek Program is friendly and helpful. The staff is always available to help with any problem. It has been the best experience since 2019. As a college freshman, it was scary to be left to figure everything out on my own. QC Seek helps you get settled in and settled down in no time. They teach us to identify our academic, career, and personal development goals. We learn how to build a schedule that works for you, how cost-effective our financial aid packages are, how vital student health and wellness, resumes, interviews, and so much more!...

Senior: As I am experiencing my senior year in Brooklyn College (BC), I can strongly say that I wouldn't trade my college experience with BC to any other college. Much of my experience with Brooklyn College is online as the COVID-19 pandemic lock down occurred while in my spring semester of sophomore year. However, I enjoyed the on campus and in person classes my freshman year! It was a normal freshman experience and it was so easy to meet people as everyone was so welcoming! In regards to the online learning experience, I'd say I'm even more satisfied with BC because they never left one to keep wondering or worrying. During the beginning of the pandemic when everything was still unknown, students received updates on how Brooklyn College would function, we were offered many forms of aid (much needed), and everyone was being understanding with one another. The academics at Brooklyn College are great but while experiencing the pandemic, the care BC has for students is even better.... Read 1,222 reviews

Sophomore: The college campus in not too big, surrounded by a small town, and easy to get around the campus. My major is supported and enjoy the overall atmosphere. There could be more accessible tutoring and academic support as well as more scholarship opportunities. The health center is also lacking and the closest "well-now" urgent care center is a 15-20 minute drive. For students who lack vehicles, this is a challenge. Public transportation/campus transportation should be more readily available. I also feel that campus cafes and cafeterias could serve more healthy options on a regular basis or stay open longer. Dorm rooms are outrageously priced and food packages are as well, considering the options available. I could live off of food I can purchase and easily make in my dorm and it would be cheaper and healthier.... Read 1,206 reviews

That said it’s also very easy to have a personal relationship with them. Many care about your well being outside of the lecture hall as well. Athletics is a great way to get involved if that’s your kind of thing, if not there’s tons of other clubs to join even for different niche type interests.

Freshman: After finishing my first year as a freshman, I'd say that St. John's University is a top level amazing school. The environment of campus is perfect, you have a wide open great lawn surrounded by buildings of all varieties. HUGE diversity, you get to meet people from all over the country! Even though St. John's is a catholic school, they have a church is for all religions. Residence Halls are set in a village like area, all having different names and surrounding locations like the Montigoris Dining Hall and Public Safety. Dorms in the residence halls have their own setup, whether it's a suite or traditional, double room or single room. Speaking of Public Safety, I feel safe being on campus. They have guards at each gate and are on the scene if something goes down. Food at the dining hall is amazing, they have a different varieties of food, such like Grill and Hibachi.

Only thing is that the parking at the top of the hill is atrocious… but if you’re a junior or senior (or living on campus) you should have no problems as you’ll probably be at the lower end of campus or walking everywhere.

They where great in assisting and working with you financially and then keeping you updated on financial payments and information throughout the semester. As a freshman you are in the larger classes but as you progress it becomes smaller classes creating a more friendly and interactive atmosphere with your professor.
