New York University

• Graduate School
• New York, NY
• 27 reviews

Graduate Student: Professors are professional, empathetic, and knowledgable in their field in the social work department. It is near Washington Square Park where many people hang out whether its laying in the grass, skateboarding, or listening to music. Campus is large and clean. Although, a racist action had taken place on campus, there seems to be an active anti-racist sentiment that is bing developed into the campus culture.

Fairfield University

• Graduate School
• Fairfield, CT
• 5 reviews

Graduate Student: The education is far superior to other schools, especially in the surrounding area. The size of the classes and enthusiasm from the professors really makes it welcoming and exciting to go to class. The financial aid office is pretty chaotic, unhelpful, and overall incompetent, but if you just take things as they come and ignore them as much as you possibly can without incurring any fees or extra expenses then you'll come to love it there.

Rutgers University - Newark

• Graduate School
• Newark, NJ
• 14 reviews

Graduate Student: Loved the diversity and inclusion at this University! This is one of the most diverse college campuses in the United States and promotes inclusiveness and tolerance among students and faculty members. Great urban campus in the heart of the financial district of Newark. There is new construction happening all the time and there are great spots for coffee, lunch, dinner, as well as night life. Rutgers provides renowned education for its students and most professors deeply care about their students. There is an issue with parking on campus, but I hope that will be rectified soon.

Fordham University

• Graduate School
• Bronx, NY
• 12 reviews

Graduate Student: When I went back to graduate school for Social Work, several people recommended Fordham to me - I am very grateful they did. The Graduate School of Social Service has a focus on Social Justice that I have not seen from any other program. The faculty is extremely positive and helpful and my learning experience at Fordham-Lincoln Center has been incredibly rewarding. I have learned more than I could have previously imagined in the past two years about public policy, the socio-economic factors that shape our society, injustices that our clients may (and often do) suffer from, and to simply have compassion and empathy for our clients as we work with them to improve their lives. I had thought I was aware and well-informed about the factors that shape our society but my professors at Fordham have shown how (and where) to look deeper, to see more, and to advocate for positive change in our society for those who cannot speak for themselves.

Stony Brook University, SUNY

• Graduate School
• Stony Brook, NY
• 10 reviews

Graduate Student: Great school! You get an IVY league education for a fraction of the price. School is absolutely one of the best for College of Arts & Music, College of Engineering, and its computer science programs. School does not have such a good pre-health department. Biology classes are much harder than they need to be. Not many resources are available for tutoring and help in biological science classes. In addition if you need to speak with a biology advisor there was no walk in options. Sometimes it took as long as 4 weeks to meet with an advisor.

Seton Hall University

• Graduate School
• South Orange, NJ
• 20 reviews

Graduate Student: The classroom sizes are great and easy to communicate with professors. Everything the students need is right on Campus, including the athletic center, with all new gym equipment and exercise classes. The library is big enough where one area you can socialize the other is for quiet study. There is also a shuttle service that can take you around the area in the town from early morning, to late evening. There are restaurants, parks, and shops around campus to visit. The campus is also located at a close distance to NYC and the NJ transit.

CUNY Brooklyn College

• Graduate School
• Brooklyn, NY
• 7 reviews

Graduate Student: After my experience at Brooklyn College, I now truly consider it to be "the poor man's harvard." My experience as a Bachelor of Science degree candidate in biology was excellent. The professors were quite knowledgable and the courses were challenging enough to prepare me for medical school. Any negative reviews from people who have attended Brooklyn College must have been from students who did not take advantage of the endless resources and opportunities that are provided by the school. In addition, the cheap tuition (under $7,000 per year) allows students to receive a top-notch education at a bargain price! Most students graduate debt-free and loan free. The one thing I didn't like about Brooklyn College was that the non-science courses were easier than I would have hoped. I have received an A+ in almost all of the non-science courses that I completed.

Fairleigh Dickinson University - College at Florham

• Graduate School
• Madison, NJ
• 7 reviews

Graduate Student: I love my program and my department, however dealing with administration outside in other departments has been extremely frustrating. First, they wait entirely too long to distribute financial aid. Were talking WEEKS after the drop deadline. And even though financial aid knows you're paying your tuition through aid, they will still put a hold on your account. It makes no sense!

Getting help from anyone is also frustrating. The methods to simply change your address is archaic in itself. But my program is wonderful and to me, the program is simply a diamond in the rough.

Columbia University

• Graduate School
• New York, NY
• 30 reviews

Freshman: I chose to go to Columbia, and I am overall happy with my decision. At the end of the day, the reason you go to any university depends very much on what you want. So I'll try to cover all the bases! These are reason why I and people I know chose to go to Columbia, and some reasons I didn't think of at the time.The best reason to attend Columbia University is the diverse amount of literature and resources that a student gains access to. I believe that if there was one thing I regretted, it was not being able to finish reading all of it!
