Graduate Student: Fantastic program at a great school! The administration is wonderful, and you feel completely supported every step of the way. Going back to school is a HUGE decision, but they have smoothed much of the road. ...Classes are challenging and designed to make you think critically about the topics and events being discussed. Profs definitely expect a certain level of discourse, and readings are not optional, but you learn so much!...Read 101 Reviews

  Rating 4.62 out of 5  126 reviews

Master's Student: Excellent education at at a high cost and cost of living. New york is not worthy enough to live, its expensive and dirty. NYU seems to have rigid curriculum and has diversity but sense of racism can be felt in students...One plus point is that its new york.This is an engineering school so its gonna be hard!! Opportunity wise ITS THE BEST they have career fairs like every other month. There's only one dinning hall here in Brooklyn which sucks cuz you get sick of the food but if you got the time to head to main campus its pretty good over there...NYU Tandon has so many opportunities. I got involved with one-on-one research with a professor within my first month of being on campus and that has gotten me 4 internships THAT I DIDNT APPLY FOR!!! Food kinda sucks, but professors are great and research opportunities NEVER END! Great resume builders. Also, Courant recently paired with Tandon!...Canteen food is quite good but expensive.Read 126 Reviews

  Rating 4.25 out of 5  8 reviews

Senior: I enjoy the close-knit campus. I am familiar with almost everyone I walk past every day and I've had a lot of one-on-one time with my professors. I live close to campus so I can easily walk to class each day and spend time on campus studying with ease. The courses are challenging but exciting in every way. The only downfall to RPI is the Greek life. RPI is basically a dry campus due to recent incident(s) and so fraternities aren't allowed to host parties. This makes it difficult to relieve stress on the weekends. Other than that, RPI is a great school and I'm glad that I chose to come here...Read 8 Reviews

  Rating 4.52 out of 5  21 reviews

Doctoral Student: I will be started classes Fall 2020, so my experience with this university thus far are limited. At this moment, I have generally positive impressions of the faculty and student body. The faculty do try to engage students to foster intimate relationships and help promote a positive overall experience for their students. I appreciate the drive for collaboration among students as it attempts to eliminate the cohort competition sentiment that can often be felt among university students. Additionally, the faculty make an effort to make collaborative decisions with its students, making them feel heard and valued...Read 21 Reviews

They have a very supportive culture and alumni are willing to give back to school and help students elevate their career!...Read 45 Reviews

  Rating 4.36 out of 5  61 reviews

Doctoral Student: The process of applying has been pretty streamlined. After requesting information, an admissions counselor for the GSE reached out to me and we had a great, thorough, hour-long discussion of the program, how the process functions, advice, and more. That built a lot of confidence for me. Then, after getting the application in, I had a great interview with the GSE faculty -- even during all the COVID craziness! A number of days later, I got an email that my application had an update and the system really let my acceptance be a surprise. When I opened the online acceptance letter, digital streamers in their school colors flooded the page and it seemed fun and special, though private, which I liked. And I liked that I couldn't see from an email preview you know? ...Since being accepted, I have reached out to the GSE staff, the admissions office, and IT with various questions, and responses have been prompt and helpful. I've been impressed with their communicativeness and approachability...Read 61 Reviews

Master's Student: Bing has so much to offer with a wide variety of classes, great teachers, nice campus, and a fun social life. There was always something to do and people to hang out with after classes were over and throughout the weekend. You will never be bored on this campus. The college does so much to help set up internships near where you live. I had resume writing and mock interviews that made me feel really comfortable when I was job hunting. I also felt my classes and professors helped me prepare for the real world. I am so glad I chose Binghamton as my school. The size is just right without being too small or too big...Read 20 Reviews

Clarkson University

  Rating 3.74 out of 5  34 reviews

Master's Student: The professors in my department are very supportive and will help you get through the didactic year. They continue to help provide great support during the clinical year as well. The only downside is that you will not know your entire schedule for the clinical year, which makes it difficult to plan, financially speaking. Many of our rotations are local, which definitely helps. The program is in a rural area so rent is fairly reasonable. Commuting to and from rotations is not difficult but you need a car to get around. The program has told us that they are working to have rotations prepared earlier for future cohorts. I am sure that the pandemic has made it increasingly difficult to find placement for rotations. Preceptors on local rotations are very helpful and enjoy working with students. The financial aid department has its own representative for graduate students, who is extremely helpful and responds quickly. The student portal is up to date and is easy to use. I enjoyed my time...Read 34 Reviews

Master's Student: I am a graduate student in the Parsons School of Design and a MFA major in the Design and Technology program. My career interest is to become a video game developer. I just finished my first semester at the New School and so far I like it. The professors and my classmates have been very supportive and I feel my comfortable sharing my opinions and knowledge about various subjects. This is a 360 from my undergraduate school where professors did not care about students especially ones who just learned on their own. I recommend the New School and Parsons School of Design if you want to expand your video game development skills...Read 25 Reviews

  Rating 4.32 out of 5  31 reviews

Master's Student: The pandemic has made things difficult for everyone. The workload for your MSW is a lot and everything tends to be due at the same time. However, most of my teachers are understanding, kind, and amazing. They work with you to help you succeed. I give 4/5 stars due to how they decided to forego the next semester with the pandemic. They didn’t ask us students what we wanted to do. I wanted to stay virtual because of family’s health reasons, but I have one class in-person (which is better than many of my other classmates, who have multiple in-person classes)...Read 31 Reviews

  Rating 3.67 out of 5  9 reviews

Graduate Student: ACPHS is a great school when it comes to preparation for your future with regard to the Pharmaceutical/ Health Sciences field. While ACP does have a rigorous program, if one has the heart and dedication to apply themselves in addition to finding enjoyment in the field of health sciences, this school is definitely the right spot to be. Nestled right next to Albany Medical Center, ACPHS has a great networking capabilities and, through the use of the right resources, amazing opportunities both while attending and after graduation. Having such a small size, the school has a tight-knit community and a smaller campus as well. If smallness doesn't bother you and you are content with building life-long relationships with your peers who all have the same interests as you, then ACPHS is definitely the right choice...Read 9 Reviews
