Tufts University

• Graduate School
• Medford, MA
• 4 reviews

Graduate Student: As a graduate student in Tufts University's Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning Department, I am enrolled in the post masters Certificate in Advanced Graduate Studies specializing in Urban Justice and Sustainability. I am able to pursue this program at Tufts in the Boston area even though I am a practicing planner residing and working in Roswell, NM. The faculty in this program are exceptional. The student colleagues are also working professionals with planning and other backgrounds such as law and education. I love this program because we are exposed to literature and ideas from many different fields. The assignments make us think as we attempt to articulate our ideas on a variety of community based social justice and sustainability issues and policies.

Graduate Student: As a graduate student at Northeastern University I had a wonderful time! I met so many new and interesting people from all around the world that I can most certainly call my friends! Professors were always very helpful and tried to explain everything to students in depth! The fact that it has the co-op program, allows students to put into practice everything that they have learned. Therefore, after the completion of any degree, most students have already jobs offers waiting for them.

Boston University

• Graduate School
• Boston, MA
• 20 reviews

Graduate Student: I absolutely love Boston University! I am actually an online student who lives in Seattle, Washington but recently had the chance to visit this Boston University in person this past February! The architecture is beautiful and the location is as well. I would have been attending the School of Social Work which is a separate campus and is right next to a beautiful body of water. Since I do not attend BU in person, I would love to say that my online professors have been more than helpful; they have personally inspired me as well as motivated me. My professors go above and beyond for me, this is why I will always choose Boston University and recommend this school to everyone!

University of Massachusetts - Boston

• Graduate School
• Boston, MA
• 9 reviews

Graduate Student: What sets my experience to a 4-star rating is my program's commitment to my personal development. The Master of Fine Arts program consists of big-hearted, bold, creative thinkers, both students and professors, and I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to study with them.

Financial and bureaucratic nonsense, however, did majorly impact my studies. Everyone in graduate school has to tighten their belts. But the administration admitted me with a letter granting "full tuition remission," and some fees as an in-state student, and then two weeks from the start of my first term, I got an $8,000 bill! And it just went from there. There's a lot of denial or abdication of responsibility for this miscommunication, and there are many departments on campus shortchanged because the administrative higher-ups prioritize glitzy parking lots over educational support programs and paying their employees in a timely fashion and to a degree commensurate with their expertise and experience.

Massachusetts College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences

• Graduate School
• Boston, MA
• 13 reviews

Graduate Student: In the ever advancing world of heaith and technology, MCPHS university keeps me updated with the best standards of knowledge and skills to grow as a devoted pharmacist. Along with carrying a vision in contributing to the development of field of pharmacy with delivering high-quality research works that would ultimately prove beneficial to the community. It is an academy of brains for years. It introduces the student to a range of analytical perspectives instead of a single-minded approach. Along with availing the excellent infrastructure facilities and immaculate research opportunities it has to offer, I am sure that the invigorating academic environment, advanced technology and interaction with the distinguished faculty helps the student upgrade knowledge about the development of the pharmaceutical sector.

Athletics:
Former athlete at Merrimack. They treat them great, some more than others. But overall athletics are supported and there are many oppetunties to see games/matches
Campus Life:
ALRIGHT
Housing is terrible. Get off campus housing when you can! The food sucks too. I never ate at the cafe.
Dorms are small and stupid. Not what you paid for :)
Friends I made were amazing! However I wish there was more diversity!

Lasell College

• Graduate School

Graduate Student: As a graduate student at Lasell, I can say this college deserves 5 stars in terms of quality of education, campus beauty, class ratio and good professors. I heard from other students living on campus that the dorms are very nice and well maintained! Being 8 miles away from Boston is the best! No need to worry about traffic, parking and the city stress. I definitely recommend it to anyone!
