Junior: I chose Penn State University because of the multitude of research and other science-related opportunities that are afforded to you when attending a large university. I also love the overall atmosphere regarding both my studies and social life. Regarding my studies, there are so many resources available to help me when needed including tutoring services, study groups, and more. When I'm not focusing on my studies, there are many events that I can go to for fun including fairs, lectures, concerts, and more. I have not given Penn State all five stars because they offer little financial aid to middle class incomes, however, I knew how much tuition was when accepting and was prepared to take out loans. Overall, love attending Penn State because of all the educational opportunities and fun events!... Read 7,304 reviews

Junior: I love the community of intelligent, creative, unique, and genuine students I am surrounded by at the University of Pittsburgh. The atmosphere is collaborative rather than competitive, and it fosters a true desire to learn. Our course selections are wide and interesting; there are some really niche offerings that anybody would enjoy. For the most part, my professors have been engaging and passionate, however I have had a few here and there who were either poor lecturers or had overly high expectations compared to the lower quality of instruction they provided. I think on-campus housing options could be slightly better, but I had a good experience in my freshman year dorm. Food options have definitely been evolving for the better since the start of my time at Pitt!... Read 4,229 reviews

Senior: I am going into my fourth year at Michigan Tech and I love it so far. The professors are easy to connect with and always have time to make appointments with you. The students are kind and there are lots of clubs and organizations to join! The campus is the perfect size, you can walk everywhere you need to go without breaking a sweat. Plenty of campus cafes and freshly made bakery items and sandwiches for a quick lunch. Lots of rooms in building to be used for studying, you can always find a quiet place.

Sophomore: The University of Tulsa is the perfect uni that allows me to stay close to home, close to my Vietnamese community, be part of a tight-knit school environment, and attend for a relatively good price with a TON of scholarship money. As a psychology major, TU offers adequate education. Because TU specializes in STEM, my academic experience hasn't been entirely fruitful compared to my STEM counterparts. However, abundant research opportunities with TURK have helped expand my knowledge and experience. Aside from academics, the food on campus is DELICIOUS with a wide variety of flavors to choose from. If you decide to not eat on campus, consider taking a 5-min drive to downtown Tulsa or down Route 66 where there's an abundant amount of restaurants, attractions, and shops to visit! The dorms are decent and old and the walls are sorta thin. The campus has over 100 organizations and clubs to choose from, and, through this, you're able to observe the diverse student populace....

Sophomore: It's easy to navigate, there are plenty of resources and opportunities for help if needed, and the staff is nice. It was a warm welcoming and pleasant surprise to attend the college. The curriculum is refreshing and challenging as it pushes you to take the imitative and learn things on your own but with the guidance of course. They have excellent hands-on activities in the science courses. The school is booming with extracurricular activities so it's easy to find something fun to do or a club to join!

Freshman: I am so grateful for choosing Wheaton. As a freshman, I already feel very at home here. Even in the midst of a pandemic, Wheaton has been extremely intentional about building community. Also, in my opinion, Wheaton has managed the COVID-19 situation very wisely. Statistically, there have been very few cases and no mass outbreaks on campus. It is a very friendly community with great opportunities for deep relationships with peers and faculty. The faculty care very much about their students. It is a very vibrant academic environment with a focused, analytical, and holistic approach to the liberal arts. Students are overall very academically motivated and genuinely enthused about their coursework. Faith and learning are truly integrated here in a beautiful way. The words “for Christ and His Kingdom” accurately describe life here. I highly recommend visiting!... Read 661 reviews

Sophomore: Despite the bad "party school" reputation, ASU is fantastic school to attend. I'm currently in my sophomore year and I can definitely say I'm receiving a high quality education. One thing I would like to see improved is the efficiency in my specific program. I'm a graphic design/ visual communications major and students across the board have issues with our print lab. The print lab is something we have to use constantly for projects. These projects have to be approved by professors so there's no getting around printing. While we have access to library printers, these do not print with high quality. That being said, printers are clearly a necessity for most if not all design major student. We pay a lot of money to be here and if we can't simply print projects in the facility provided then the facility becomes practically useless. If the print lab functioned better it would relieve a lot of stress on students. This seems like a small issue but would be extremely helpful!... Read 11,395 reviews

Alum: I went to SLU for undergrad and had a great experience! The professors were knowledgeable, and they also cared about my success. The tutoring center and academic advising center were also great tools that helped me perform well in my classes. There were plenty of opportunities to get involved on and off campus. I was involved in several clubs and organizations and worked two on-campus jobs. Between all of these, I got to meet some really cool people and made lifelong friends. One thing that made SLU a good match for me was the size. It was large enough to accommodate a wide range of interests and opportunities. However, it was small enough that I knew people most places I went, classes were a good size, and it wasn't difficult to navigate the campus. Overall, I really enjoyed going to a school where I felt like people cared about me and my experience.... Read 2,095 reviews

There are plenty of ways to get involved at the university. Students have the ability to find just the right classes that they need. The only thing I would warn incoming students about is the big focus on greek life at the University of Mississippi. Some people really enjoy it, while others could think is a little too much.

Alum: I had an extraordinary time at USFSM! While they did not have dorms, they made up for it in events and camaraderie. There is always something going on at USFSM - whether it is during Week of Welcome, or Relaxation week during Finals, or presentations, the campus is buzzing. Everyone at USFSM, including the chancellor, is easily accessible. Everyone wants you to be successful, and provides you with the tools to do so. You can join student government, any club you can imagine, or nothing at all. There was never a time where I felt I wasn't welcomed. There are no "cliques" either.

Freshman: My overall experience with the University of Kansas (KU) is that it has so much loving, community based energy. At the heart of Lawrence, Kansas, you can hear the school bell from miles away. KU is so diverse and has such a wide range of intersectionalites which reside here. The advisors are so helpful, and have made my enrollment process smooth and easy. They make me feel at home. I'm starting this upcoming SPRING 2023 semester and I'm enthralled to begin my new journey at KU. My other friends, who currently attend tell me so much about their classes, experiences and time spent here at KU. As everyone has their own opinions regarding KU, mostly I hear nothing but positive reviews. One of my closest friends has told me, that when they've had issues, they felt safe enough to express it to advisors. That's really important to me.

Sophomore: Alabama was my last-choice college because I was set on an Ivy League-level school, but I’m so happy I chose to go here! Nothing beats not having to pay for my education and graduating without debt. My professors have been great (for the most part), and I’m pretty happy with my overall academic experience. Green life is pretty big here and dominates things like SGA and some broader aspects of student life. I’m not one to join a sorority because of their strict rules and unappealing culture, but I haven’t struggled to make friends without it. There are over 500 clubs and organizations to get plugged into that will certainly help you get to know other people! My most negative experience were the dorms last year. I paid $1,100/month for a tiny bedroom, shared bathroom, living room, and a kitchenette with no stove or oven. This year, I’m only paying $550/month to have my own bed and bath off-campus in a house with my friends. Like every college, they really rip you off freshman year.... Read 4,646 reviews

Junior: I have been at Foothill for almost three years now and throughout these past years I feel like I am very satisfied with my education here. To begin, the professors show that they care for their students by being flexible to meet with students one on one and they are very big on advocating for diversity within their classrooms. In every class I have taken, the professors make it a point to emphasize the importance of valuing everyone in the class. Most importantly, the professors provide students with the information of almost every resource that is available to us such as tutoring, mental health services , and financial aid resources. What I also really love about the school is the campus. The style of the campus gives me an old town vibe and I completely fell in love with it. There are so many trees and open space so it is possible to study or do homework at the tables that are spread out in the quad. Overall, this school is a good choice to keep in mind!...

Freshman: Mississippi College is an amazing place! Everyone is very kind and I had no problem finding a good group of friends. It is definitely a Christian school. Most of the students and professors are Christians so Christianity is taught, proclaimed, and encouaged pretty heavily; but I am a strong Christian myself so for me this only adds to the experience. Professors want you to succeed so if you are ever struggling and need help the professors are more than happy to help, and they often go out of their way to do so. It can be a bit expensive but if you are truly wanting to attend at MC then they will bend over backwards to find the money to get you there. It is truly an amazing place!... Read 600 reviews

Sophomore: Andrews University is exclusively known for diversity and inclusion. One of the best things about Andrews is the incredible community it has. You get to build incredible relationships with people from different backgrounds and learn so much about other cultures. The University would often create social programs to try to engage social interactions between different communities within the school. As an international student, my first year was pretty tough considering I was living in a community far from home. However, the relationships I built and the emotional/academic support I got from it was beyond a blessing. One of the reasons I chose Andrews was its science programs. As a stem major, Andrews has some of the best academic stem programs and offers a lot of science-related/research opportunities. Professors are also really understanding and would often give students a second chance under reasonable situations (hardly like to fail their students).... Read 510 reviews

Freshman: While on my college search I felt very unsure of where I wanted to attend. I had visit three different schools and didn’t feel at home. All of that changed when I visited Kansas State for the first time. The environment is welcoming and safe. I have loved my experience at Kansas State. Everyone I have asked for help no matter big or small has been extremely kind. They go above and beyond to help you reach your goals and make you feel comfortable. They work hard to make sure all students can get involved no matter their interests by having many different clubs, activities, and CAT communities. The campus is beautiful with many trees and art. The buildings are cohesive and add to the charm of the campus. The dorms are nice and the RAs are friendly and work hard to make everyone on the floor feel welcome.

Freshman: This was my first year attending JU, and I loved every minute of it. It is truly and uncommon community, filled with so many exceptional people and professors! If you're looking to get a great Christian education this is the place for you! Everyone here majors in their major of choice, along with Bible and Theology (so you double major), so keep that in mind before applying. You will have to take over 30 hours of Bible courses, so just a heads up is that's not really your thing. It's also BEAUTIFUL! We're about 25 minutes away from downtown knox and about 35-45 from the Gatlinburg, Sevierville area.
