Carnegie Mellon University

• Graduate School
• PITTSBURGH, PA
• Rating 4.64 out of 5  28 reviews

Master's Student: CMU has exceptional resources and the costume department in the School of Drama is much better organized than other departments, which I can not really speak for. The rigor and time commitment required for classes, especially hands on practical project based classes are demanding but acchievable with the right discipline. The main con that I have a very hard time getting over is that there is hardly any time or opportunities to earn money for living. The expected "graduate hours" contibutes to a scholarship amount that covers 2/3 of the cost of attendance...Read 28 Reviews

Lehigh University

• Graduate School
• BETHLEHEM, PA
• Rating 4.43 out of 5  14 reviews

Alum: I earned a Master of Science in Economics. Lehigh is one the few colleges that offer a Masters separate from a PhD. Overall, this school was a great choice for me. It's about an hour and a half away from Philadelphia (where my family lives). The professors were great and readilty available for office hours. I was also able to get a large amount of financial aid by accepting a Graduate Assistant position. Limited Grad Housing is available. If your lucky to get in, it's pretty basic but has everything you need, including a small gym and transportation to main campus...Read 14 Reviews

Doctoral Student: This university provides the tools needed to succeed beyond my academic years into my professional career. I appreciate the fact that our professors are also our mentors. The connections I have made at USciences will be part of my life-long network, both personally and professionally. Over the last year and a half, USciences has been part of many new experiences for me. I moved out-of-state for the first time and now Philadelphia has began to feel like home. I have grown in many aspects of my life and I have USciences to thank for that.

Messiah University

• Graduate School
• MECHANICSBURG, PA
• Rating 4.36 out of 5  14 reviews

Niche User: I will be starting as a freshman this August of 2021 and I can't wait. People are always attentive and informative. There wasn't one person who didn't smile or wave. The school's amtosphere was very vibrant and open. The campus itself isn't very big, which I loved. The grounds are open and the buldings are all well-kept and updated. The admissions counselors are dedicated and work hard at ensuring the admissions process is easy and understandable. People truly make you feel welcomed and it doesn't feel fake. Although there are certain requirements, like chapel, it's important to remember that it is a Christian college...Read 14 Reviews

Gannon University

• Graduate School
• ERIE, PA
• Rating 4.64 out of 5  11 reviews

Doctoral Student: As an incoming student. I have to say this is the REALEST and the kindest school system I have ever encountered. They aren’t going to fluff it up and say you will be okay and get through this. Instead they understand this is hard... very very hard and there will be days that are overwhelming. You build personal relationships with your professors, they understand you and get know you. You get mental health days. No questions asked. It’s also a very open an accepting atmosphere. It’s a Catholic campus, but they respect and value everyone’s individual beliefs..and I think that says a lot coming from a Christian Gay girl...Read 11 Reviews

Elizabethtown College

• Graduate School
• ELIZABETHTOWN, PA
• Rating 4 out of 5  1 review

Junior: I love this school so much. The staff are all very welcoming and kind, and everyone you meet on campus is extremely friendly. I would've given five stars if the financial aid office didn't charge us for every little thing - I locked myself out of my room once and had to pay a five dollar fee. I didn't have any other way to get back into my room so I found this very annoying...Read 1 Review

Lebanon Valley College

• Graduate School
• ANNVILLE, PA
• Rating 4.83 out of 5  6 reviews

Graduate Student: The school provides opportunities and the individual professors are willing to work with students to help them achieve their goals. However, if your intention is to dual major or double major, or even take a minor in a rigorous program, the advisors tend to warn against doing so. That is not to say it's impossible. The school is small, and you get to know all of your classmates as well as the majority of students on campus if you spend enough time outside...Read 6 Reviews

Saint Vincent College - Pennsylvania

• Graduate School
• LATROBE, PA
• Rating 5 out of 5  2 reviews

Doctoral Student: I love this college. I’m in grad school at Saint Vincent’s and have an overwhelming amount of support from faculty and staff. College staff are extremely helpful and friendly. I love the overalls “family” type of environment the university offers. I went to a large, Big Ten university for my undergraduate degree. I wouldn’t trade my experience there for anything, but sometimes you can get lost in the crowd. It’s a breath of fresh air going to a much smaller school and being able to interact with your professors and staff more personally. There’s also a lot of support the faculty and other students offer like organizing mentoring, study groups, and other assistance needed to name a few. Overall great experience so far...Read 2 Reviews
