Stanford University

• Graduate School
• Stanford, CA
• 2

Graduate Student: In Stanford, collaboration comes before competition. Once you have proved worthy of being in Stanford, it is not about what grades you receive and how you are better than someone else purely in academics, but about how you reach out for different experiences, how you enrich yourself with multi-disciplinary research activities, how you participate in year round activities on campus and help each other out in academics. It isn't how much you know, it is how well you use what you know. It doesn't matter what field you are in, Stanford will give you the holistic experience of studying in a University that no one else can. Don't be afraid to apply, I was very afraid, but I took the leap and here I am.

These events make it extremely easy to get plugged in and make lasting social relations.

Yale University

Graduate Student: Yale University is basically the most beautiful school in the world, by far. I still can't believe just how gorgeous the place is. Sometimes when I'm walking around by myself on the old campus, I just want to pinch myself. It's pretty much the "Blue Steel" of colleges and universities. Funny story, but my African mom basically describes it in the following terms: "ohh, it all looks like Harry Potter's world! I bet this is where he really goes to school!".

University of Pennsylvania

• Graduate School
• Philadelphia, PA

Graduate Student: Like any colleges, Penn has both pros and cons. As a graduate student in the School of Social Policy and Practice at Penn (Master's of Social Work), I find that the biggest strength of Penn is its wide reach of professional network, research, etc.

The amount of resources/networking opportunities available for developing insight, experience, and others is unimaginable here at Penn. Having deep connections with all three sectors of the non-profit, for-profit, and governmental world brings its students enormous opportunities and information/knowledge to learn and grow from.

The cons, however, is that Penn as a whole seems a bit lacking in terms of student activism and engagement. There are clubs to join. But, I rarely see them out in the quad or the walkway outreaching or being vocal about a variety of issues students are concerned with in this age and time.

Graduate Student: Duke offers me so much more than what I expected, with various classes offered, flexibility to collaborate and dive into interdisciplinary projects, various certificates and programs to choose from, to friendly and accomodating stuffs in academic, administration, and even nutritionists and mental help. The campus is breathtaking with amazing library and high quality of food provided.
Choosing Duke is definitely one of the best decisions I have made.

Washington University in St. Louis

• Graduate School
• Saint Louis, MO
• 6

Graduate Student: First and foremost everyone is committed to ensuring that the students receive all the support to achieve their goals. The case based studying for the MBA's helps students to deal with real issues that happen at the work place. This helps you as a student to gain the skills and confidence address issues facing firms today.
There is also a great opportunity to network and build lasting professional and personal relationships. In a world where relationships is the only currency that has no diminishing returns, it's a privilege to find an institution that has an ongoing and organized way to network and build lasting relationships.
At Washu, you learn how to work in teams. Everyone spends the first year of school working in a group of not less than five people.
Lastly WashU has-the Saturday program that allows working students to attend classes on Saturdays which helps them to spend less time in school and still manage to work and start families for those willing to do so.

Northwestern University

• Graduate School
• Evanston, IL

Graduate Student: Northwestern is a school I am beyond proud to be a part of. The reputation of the school is immaculate, no surprise given the experience I have had at NU. The professors are incredible. The campus is beautiful. Evanston is a perfect setting, and the downtown Chicago campus could not have a better location and setting. The academics are competitive, yet that should be expected from a top University. The professors greatly care about the students and want everyone to succeed. It was here or Stanford, or Columbia, and I am very happy I made the choice I did.

University of Chicago

• Chicago, IL

Graduate Student: The academics here are incredible. You are able to have access to some great educators and resources because of the wealth and connections at the school. However, the social life here is lacking. There is also a weird culture because of how many privileged people attend this school - everyone is always networking.

University of Southern California

• Graduate School
• Los Angeles, CA

Graduate Student: My enrollment advisor, Mr. Petronus Williams was invaluable in the process of touting all of the benefits of choosing the University of California as my destination of choice for my Masters degree. We discussed the high academic caliber of professors along with the school's stellar reputation. Of most importance was our discussion of my eventual standing in the world of Gerontology after graduation which clinched the deal for me. The fact that the classes were online did not discourage me because more work is required in online courses. I'm not afraid of hard work and my 3.68 GPA is proof of that. I am looking forward to the start of class and more learning ALL I can in the field of Gerontology. Onward and upward at USC thanks to Mr. Williams. I salute you!

Cornell University

• Ithaca, NY

Graduate Student: Cornell University is located in a gorgeous town in upstate NY and experiences all 4 seasons! Not only is the campus beautiful but so are the surrounding areas. The academic courses are demanding and require a lot of your time as a student but there are many things you can do on campus to balance the rigor of the courses. Overall Cornell is an Ivy League institution and that status allows the university to offer its students a lot of unique experiences that other colleges cannot.

Georgetown University

• Graduate School
• Washington, DC

Graduate Student: The School of Foreign Service has provided me with unparalleled academic and professional opportunities I would not have been provided at any other university given its location and prestige. From interning at the White House, Capitol Hill, and a top consulting firm — all while being a full time student — to its rigorous core curriculum, my program time here has been hands down the zenith of my academic career.

While I was accepted into other top universities, Georgetown SFS was a no brainer, and I’m excited to call myself an SFS alum.

University of Virginia

• Graduate School
• Charlottesville, VA
• 3

Graduate Student: The University of Virginia is situated in beautiful Charlottesville, VA. It has a prestigious reputation and a diverse student body pursuing a number of exciting and interesting courses of study. However, any student can easily get lost in the shuffle of a large institution. The support resources are good, but require the student to step up and use them voluntarily. In addition, behind the UVA brand, there is some lack of connection with the surrounding community. UVA is not quite as good as they perceive themselves to be.

University of California - Berkeley

• Graduate School
• Berkeley, CA
• 8

Graduate Student: Throughout the years I spent in Berkeley, and it is crazy that I have graduated and will pursue a MS in Berkeley, I really thought I hated the school. They do not care about how the students are feeling. Whether the classes are too challenging because of the amount of work that you have to put in even to receive a B. Yet, graduating from UC Berkeley made me proud of myself. It is crazy how every night we are leaving at 2 a.m. However, I think I have grown into the university and the city. I know all the good restaurant around, and I enjoyed making our own study guide in order to learn the material better. I was studying art before I chose Mechanical Engineering. When my friends are working on a project in community college, I can only watch, because I have nothing to offer. Now I have much to offer. If I have another choice, I would still go to UC Berkeley. At the same time, I would still say I hate the school, but I know I am proud to be here.

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

• Graduate School
• Chapel Hill, NC
• 9

Graduate Student: Being at Carolina is an incredible experience. Coming in a transfer student, I can honestly say I wish I had more time here. Majority of the professors are caring, understanding, and knowledgeable about their craft, and you can tell how excited some are to share what they know to their students and help them succeed.

School pride is BIG thing here and once a Tar Heel always a Tar Heel. There’s an indescribable connectedness and family feel you get once you enter Carolina that can’t be found once outside of it. With that in mind, Carolina can be like a bubble if you don’t step outside your comfort zone and experience what surrounding areas have to offer. You can find your niche here, however, as there is SOMETHING for everybody.

That being said, the culture is accepting but keep in mind that it is the South so some views are still dated.

At the end of it all, those years will fly by and the memories you create will last a lifetime.

Wake Forest University

• Graduate School
• Winston-Salem, NC
• 5

Graduate Student: I arrived at the campus and all of the building and lawns were beautifully kept and maintained. It is quieter during the summer.The newly built business school is on the main campus contains all the latest technology and has so much to offer students.
They have a lot of resources for student career searches, the networking opportunities are amazing and because the school is smaller they focus in on the whole student and not just the grades. The program I am in at the graduate level has a 97% employment rate (within 6 months of graduating).
The student housing options are amazing! They have newly renovated homes and apartments for multiple people willing to have roommates. The campus and surrounding area is patrolled mostly in the evening and security is pretty pleasant.
The diversity on campus is decent for a PWI. The athletics and party scene are okay. I recommend getting involved and staying busy on campus to increase perspective employment instead of focusing on nightlife.

I have built solid relations with my professors. The professors are very helpful and always encourage their students to achieve more im their field, and are always approachable. Also the facilities provided to the students by the university like the library amd sports centers are awesome and have a very good atmosphere.
Also there are many student organizations in the university, which help the students on making connections and also help in the overall development of the students, so I urge you to join any one of the student organization.

University of Texas - Austin

• Graduate School
• Austin, TX
• 9

Graduate Student: I love UT so much. It's very affordable and by attending, you're getting a degree from a "public ivy". Your degree will go a long way. The academics can be very very challenging, but you're in classes with top notch professors and really smart and hard working classmates.
Outside of academics, there are a ton of organizations and clubs to be involved in. The greek scene is huge but for people looking outside of that, there is an outstanding radio station, comedy magazine, interest clubs, service clubs, and intramural athletics. Th campus is beautiful and despite a few recent incidents, the campus feels safe. The atmosphere is welcoming.
Ultimately you get out what you put in and if you invest time and energy into pursuing what you love, there's no better place to study than UT.

Boston College

Graduate Student: Boston College is a great place to learn and grow. The student body has a variety of people with different interests, and professors take the time to get to know their students. Additionally, the campus is absolutely stunning and a joy to walk through to classes. The University does lack in diversity and often the administration doesn't deal with issues properly. If not for these, I would rate my four years at BC a 5-start experience.
