Western Michigan University
Doctoral Student: This is a great research University that takes its time to focus on graduate students. I've always felt like a priority and felt like my research was of interest to my professors and peers. The courses are difficult, but I've found them all to be practically applicable to the field I want to to go into, so I never felt like I was learning something difficult for an irrelevant reason. The graduate assistants have a union, which is really nice. I frequently get invited to union meetings and graduate student association meetings so I feel like I am not alone as a student in my department. The campus is small, not the most beautiful but I'm here for the academics not the aesthetic. The campus is located near downtown Kalamazoo and promotes being involved in the community. As a graduate student I've gotten the opportunity to be a teaching assistant where we even took "field trips" to local institutions. Overall I would highly recommend Western if you are looking for a program in Michigan!...Read 28 Reviews
