Niche User: I have been to the Evanston campus once, but in that visit I was astounded by the various opportunities offered by the university. Every program, whether that be the musical program, theater, biology, medicine, or integrated science, was fleshed out to a point of great immersion and understanding. Not to mention that there was an overall atmosphere of learning and curiosity. Highly recommend!

Graduate Student: I'm currently enrolled in the Masters of Legal Studies Program. I'm thoroughly enjoying this program. WashU offers a number of classes in various legal fields. I've taken courses in tort law, contracts, intellectual property law, legal negotiations, legal writing & legal procedures & court hearings. The Masters program is 100% online. The virtual experience is phenomenal. It's like being in an actual class, but at home. This program is very diverse. Through this program, I've connected with different students from Asia, Europe, Africa and the various parts of the United States. The professors are knowledgeable and professionally accomplished in the legal field. The program is fast paced, intriguing and fun. You can complete this program in one to two years. I started in January 2019 and I'm graduating in May 2020. CHOOSE WASHU! The investment is well worth it and WashU is one of the best law schools in the world.

Alum: My time at CMU was great. My advisor was really caring and helped me do more than plan my schedule. The school acknowledges the stress culture is pretty bad and has taken steps to provide stress relievers (eg: mindfulness room, paws to relax, the petting zoo, etc). The campus food wasn't bad and the staff was friendly. Professors were, for the most part, understanding when things came up. I was able to make a few lifelong friends too! The campus is pretty diverse, with a majority of students being internationals!

#23 Best Colleges in America
Sophomore: The campus life is academically and socially vibrant, with trendy restaurants and cafes mingling with professors who are at the forefront of their research. The university offers a wide range of classes with many hidden gems like spending nights in the planetarium, looking at the effects of video games on education, or finding answers to resource sustainability. It can be easy to feel lost in such a large student body and campus, so it was important to find clubs and smaller communities early on, of which there is a niche for everyone. As a rising sophomore, the dorm food was amazing. Advisors are really helpful and kind; they do everything to help you plan out your path. But I've heard many times that our mental health services (CAPS) is extremely lacking. Experiences will vary for everyone, but if you are looking for a high-energy campus with a strong mix of academic vigor, some loneliness and depression, low student diversity, brilliant faculty, and big sports/parties, come here!

#57 Best Colleges in America
Sophomore: I love the city of Austin. Overall the professors I have had thus far in my academic career have been great! As a commuter, my only issue with the university is the limited parking spots on campus. There has been the construction of new buildings on campus that have limited parking spots. Austin, as a city is constantly under construction, as it is growing rapidly. Adding the construction on campus makes everything all a little bit more difficult as someone who has to live from home away from campus and drive to school. I understand that adding new buildings to the university allows the school as a whole to advance, but I also believe it is important to factor in where the placement of these new buildings are happening and if they are taking over parking spots that once were.

#59 Best Colleges in America
Senior: The University of Georgia provides so many resources and outlets for students to grow their identity and passions. I love the atmosphere it provides for students to transition into the next stage of life with the tailgates, the athletics, the traditions, and the activities. Downtown Athens is a special place to many in the community, and it truly is like no other. This place draws the attention of those who enjoy food, sightseeing, and having fun. UGA is an incredible school with so many opportunities and genuine people. I have met some of my closest friends here, and I have also been able to challenge myself. The College of Education has pushed me to think beyond my comfort zone, and I am so thankful for the professors and experiences, especially study abroads! Something that I would love to see change is the diversity and integration of the Athens community with UGA students. It would be incredibly powerful for this community to unite and grow together while supporting one another!

Sophomore: I have really enjoyed being apart of the Boilermaker family at Purdue. It has been the best decision I've ever made to attend this outstanding university. They have provided me with resources to get connected with companies that I could gain employment and internship opportunities from. I have joined many clubs and organizations on campus that have allowed me to stay connected to the campus and make lifelong friendships and connections. It truly is an amazing school with a lot to offer. The school spirit here is above anything I have ever seen. If anyone is thinking about coming to Purdue, take the leap of faith and do it. It is an amazing school with amazing faculty that really take the time to get to know their student. Being apart of the boilermaker family has been a dream. Boiler up! Hammer down!

Alum: The UW was by far one of the best experiences in my life! Everything and then some is available to you, from world-class academic offerings to a thriving social scene. The school is large, so it's your responsibility to make the most of the experience. I strongly recommend getting involved in activities outside the classroom in your free time. Having entered into the private sector on the East Coast after undergrad, I will say that the UW's reputation is right up there with the "Public Ivies". The ROI is definitely there if you strive and push yourself academically. I love this school!

Sophomore: TCU is by far the best college you could choose. From student involvement to ability to get a job, TCU has it all. There are so many opportunities for students to be involved in campus whether it be in our 150+ clubs on campus or in any of our TCU student run organizations. TCU also has a 90% chance of students receiving a job within six months of graduation and that number jumps to 96% after a year. TCU has an amazing community that allows students to feel like they always have something to do. The 800 events held on campus over the course of the year allow students to connect and meet new people. The restaurants on and off campus are all amazing and Fort Worth offers amazing food options and things to do all within a 15 minute drive! Whether you decide to go hang out at Sundance Square or go line dancing at Billy Bob’s your nights will always be filled with friends and fun! Choose TCU and become a horned frog!

Junior: To start off, this is one of the prettiest campuses in the country, especially during the fall. In addition to this, I feel like most of the professors are really there to help you learn and watch you succeed. This is something that isn't necessarily true in some other places. Spartan athletics are a big part of the experience too! Whether its basketball or football games, there's always an event taking place somewhere. There's always something to do. Michigan State allows for the perfect balance between academics and a social life. There's no college I'd rather attend.

I’ve made so many great friends in my classes. Teachers are always so helpful with whatever questions I have. They really care about the student.

Sophomore: UMass Amherst is an amazing, financially viable option for in-state students. As an in-state student, I can state that I am paying a very reasonable price for my education. I have enjoyed every class I have taken so far and have had amazing, dedicated professors. There is an abundance of extracurricular activities to choose from and there is always something to do on campus. It is easy to get caught up in the party culture however, it is just as easy to avoid it. Downtown Amherst and the surrounding towns, namely Northampton, are fun to explore and are easily accessible by the PVTA bus system. The campus food is amazing; the food does get repetitive at times, but there are many dining halls that offer different options daily. Overall, I am thrilled with UMass and feel that I am getting more than my money's worth!

From running the Baylor line to Christmas on 5th street, Baylor constantly looks for ways to not just make your money worth, but to assure you that you made the right decision in choosing your college and education. One experience of this was welcome week when I first moved in. There are community leaders that make you feel welcome into the apartment complex of where you'll be staying by helping you move in and offer stress free Sundays or painting with a twist, activities that are designed for you to meet others and on occasion, even get free food! If anyone hits the mark for overachieving, its Baylor and it's where you want to be.

#139 Best Colleges in America
Junior: Denison experience is what you make out of it-it has pros and cons, but this institution benefits me more.

Administration and Financial Aid are awesome! Tons of on-campus job opportunities and extracurriculars. Dorms and dining halls are average and you can cope with them. Party scene...urgh. Campus is cliquey; greek life+people stick with their racial groups in public spaces. Denison is trying to promote inclusion and it did bring some diversity on campus but still working on that integration part.

Academics are great! I got the most satisfaction out of classes when I chose professors who are demanding as hell but want the best for their students. Relationships do run deep with faculty members. I was not the most competitive student when I got accepted to Denison but professors I met here turned me into an A student. Coursework is challenging, but professors are accessible and will answer your questions, go over your essay, and give recommendations if you just go to office hours.

Sophomore: I would say Arizona State University is a pretty good institution. There are opportunities everywhere for your career and to further your person. This university creates a beautiful community full of bright and caring people willing to help you succeed. ASU cares about their students especially first years and they have programs specifically put in place to integrate you into college life and help you transition into independence. The professors are stellar, of course, there are duds but the majority are chill and want you to go out into the workforce with your best. The campuses are pretty, and the dining halls are themed! It is Arizona however, so it is blindingly hot and the sewers boil and stink. I have enjoyed my time here so much! I made forever friends and received an internship and a longterm job in my first year!

Classmates range like everywhere else, but I made very strong and lasting relationships! The town and campus are very small, but safe and allow for many outdoor activities; decent weather all year. The biggest selling point is the reputation, almost guaranteed internship while in school, even one on campus allowed me to work out of state and on patent pending technologies. Most important, I passed my FE, became EIT and secured a job in San Diego within a month of leaving, DEBT FREE!

After some discussion with my parents and some promise of scholarship money to make it more affordable, I made the decision to attend. For me, I can not imagine any place better for me than Drake.

#171 Best Colleges in America
Junior: My overall rating for the University of Cincinnati is a strong 4 stars. Being in the city the location is great for getting internships, co-ops, and ultimately a steady job after college. There are loads of restaurants to go to just minutes off campus, and if you ever feel like you need to get away from the UC life, Downtown Cincinnati is only about a 15 minute drive away.
If I could change one thing about the University of Cincinnati it would be the dining halls. There are four dining halls on campus, however they all serve just about the same things with little variation in the meals day-to-day. There isn’t a whole lot of healthy food options either. Another downside to UC’s dining halls is that only one of the dining halls offers to-go boxes. Overall, UC is a great school and has a lot to offer students. Picking to attend the University of Cincinnati was the best decision I’ve ever made!

#172 Best Colleges in America
Junior: I love the feel of the campus and the community there. Most of the professors are nice and helpful. One of the issues I have run into is a lack of communication from my academic advisor, which is not the case with all of them. I want to add a botany major, however the classes are spotty, with few being available at a given time. The staff in the department don't seem to know if or when they can offer some classes, I think due to shortage of professors to teach. The main major I am going for is zoology, but there are few animal-specific courses offered. If you pride yourself in offering botany and zoology degrees specifically, then make sure you actually are able to offer the classes for them! Also Oxford makes intro. chemistry way harder than it needs to be to weed people out.
However, there are also multiple things I love about Miami. The scenery is beautiful, the dining halls are pretty nice, and my korean prof. is absolutely wonderful, so kind and understanding.

Alum: DePauw University is deeply rooted in tradition and academics that allow students to flourish in an accepting community. Located in Greencastle, Indiana, this may be it's only downfall but without much to do in the surrounding community, that leaves all the more time to focus on your studies. With an endless amount of clubs and ease to get one started, you will find your group. The school of music offers free concerts to students year round and actively recruits non-music students to join. DePauw recently hired it's first female African American president and it has been a joy to see the administration start taking diversity initiatives seriously. A huge portion of the campus is a part of greek life and it is easy to get involved. I spent the best four years of my life here making memories that will last a life time.

Sophomore: My favorite thing about WSU is the community. The community is so welcoming and helpful, a wonderful atmosphere to live in and immerse yourself in. The students, professors, and staff are so nice and genuine. The setting and vibe you get from WSU is unlike other universities I have toured. Also I won't forget to mention that since WSU is in a college town, the prices in town at the nearby stores are tailored towards student budgets which makes living affordable.

Another one of my favorite aspects of WSU is the food, specifically Ferdinand's ice cream shop and the Cougar Gold cheese. The ice cream shop has amazing flavors like Cougar Tracks (think peanut butter, chocolate, vanilla), huckleberry, and even apple pie. The shop also has a variety of house made cheeses, fresh curds, and even smoked meats. It's just something you can't beat.

WSU is a great college, it's campus is easy to walk around (make sure you're okay with lots of hills!), and the community is wonderful. Go Cougs!

Junior: I love the fact that the University of Arizona offers so many different opportunities. One semester in, I was already able to network with professors and help them with research, as well as formulate my own research proposal. All of the professors I had the pleasure to work with were incredibly supportive, helpful, and encouraging. In addition to excellent scholastic opportunities, the UofA also has a diverse student pool with plenty of opportunities to make new friends, socialize, and have the quintessential "college experience."

In terms of safety, there have been a few frightening situations on campus this semester, but campus PD was able to address and deescalate them. Additionally, the administration is really transparent with students about these problems and updates us as situations progress, which really makes it seem like they genuinely care about student safety.

Overall, I love being a student at the U of A. Bear down!

Junior: I know it's been a hot topic recently, but I would like to set the record straight. This school is by no means perfect, like all other colleges there are plenty of flaws, but it is truly one of the best options for an undergrad university that you could choose. Despite what rumors may have indicated, most of the students are incredibly friendly, academics are superb, the town of Lexington is adorable, extracurriculars are treasured by nearly every student. Unlike some of the schools I have previously attended, W&L is an incredibly close-knit community full of passionate and hardworking students. It is considered "cool" to be smart, and students at W&L work and play hard. Also, If you are considering playing a sport here- DO IT! As a student athlete I have had an incredibly valuable experience and the woman on my team will likely be close friends for the rest of my life. I simply love this school- of course it is not perfect, but no school is.

Alum: Fantastic experience! Really a well-rounded, diverse background gained. My Mother also went to Albion and had a great experience; one of the reasons that I went. Biology-German Major with Chem Minor...I did summer programs with the college in Colorado (Mountain Wilderness & Geology) and over a winter break , in Florida(Florida Ecology). I became a licensed EMT while there. I really got to know the awesome faculty. I lived in a variety of dorms. The International House experience was exceptional. Albion really helped prepare me for my careers as a Zoologist with zoos, Military Officer (Medical Service Corps), and Educator (Middle School Science Teacher). Definitely no regrets!
