  1. Stanford University

    • Graduate School
    • Stanford, CA
    • 3 reviews

    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.

    • Yale University

      • Graduate School
      • New Haven, CT
      • 7 reviews

      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!".

        • Washington University in St. Louis

          • Graduate School
          • Saint Louis, MO
          • 17 reviews

          Alum: I had a generally positive experience at Wash U. St. Louis itself is a very underrated and nice, affordable city. In addition the campus and surrounding neighborhood is very well cared for and safe. The academics met my expectations. I was challenged but also was able to overcome those challenges with hard work and determination. I was in the design school, which was rapidly improving, including the construction of a brand new building . It is an expensive university, but that’s to be expected of a private school with so many resources. I was also very impressed by the generosity of donors, and benefited greatly from scholarships.

The professors are great with communication and classmates have been helpful in the learning experience as well. Not to go without mention, awesome vip student seating at USC football games!

                • University of California - Berkeley

                  • Graduate School
                  • Berkeley, CA
                  • 12 reviews

                  Graduate Student: I've had an incredible experience as a grad student at UC Berkeley. The current program that I'm enrolled in is relatively new, and although there are quite a few kinks that the program is ironing out (funding, quality instructors, classroom space) what I love most about my program is the desire to include students in the decision making process to enhance the program for future students. I've enjoyed having an influence on the direction the program will take, as well as advocating for many of the basic needs of my program and fellow students. I've also enjoyed taking classes led by engaging professors who are dedicated to preparing me for the real world. I love that many of my classes have woven the theoretical aspects of academia with real-world application. Other highlights of UC Berkeley are the gorgeous campus, the extremely active student body, accessibility of resources, the myriad student engagement activities, and the name recognition the University carries. Go Bears!

                  • University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

                    • Graduate School
                    • Chapel Hill, NC
                    • 17 reviews

                    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.

                      • Boston, MA
                      • 25 reviews

                      Graduate Student: As a graduate student at Northeastern University I had a wonderful time! I met so many new and interesting people from all around the world that I can most certainly call my friends! Professors were always very helpful and tried to explain everything to students in depth! The fact that it has the co-op program, allows students to put into practice everything that they have learned. Therefore, after the completion of any degree, most students have already jobs offers waiting for them.

                        • 28 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.

                          • Austin, TX
                          • 22 reviews

                          Graduate Student: Quality of professors is great. Emphasis on learning and building skills is on point. I am a working professional while working on my masters. The university allows this opportunity for people like me through the Option III graduate programs. The program requires attending class once a month and everything else is online. Working in groups is a key to learning and with the diversity of the cohort this becomes ground zero for the experience. My cohort included working professionals from several industries including aerospace, software, oil & gas, entrepreneurs, etc... The perspective you get from working in such dynamic groups is invaluable and helps everyone grow as a professional and student.

                            Alum: My experience at the University of Florida was top notch. From the faculty, staff and caliber of students I truly enjoyed all I learned and skills I obtained. Furthermore, the classroom facilities and campus buildings were very nice and up to date for all courses and needs.
                            Outside of the classroom, the city of Gainesville is so much fun. Activities from grabbing some great local food to attending an athletic event were common on a day to day basis. UF is a great place to be!

The people in this community, in both the classroom and social settings are extremely friendly. You will feel at home in no time!

The location is perfect, there are so many recreational things to do in the area, and I truly felt that the professors were there to help me learn and grow. I was devastated when I graduated, but am so thrilled that I get to go back and attend law school there for three years.

                                        Graduate Student: During my undergraduate period, this university gave me the opportunity to balance priorities related and unrelated to my academics. Because of that opportunity, I was able to build myself through employment, volunteer, and athletic, and organizational efforts. I am able to balance all of my current priorities at this present time because of my undergraduate journey at this university. Besides focusing on more long-term infrastructure goals that will benefit the campus personnel rather than the public image, I have no concerns about how the university should change.

                                          Graduate Student: Being in the history department, the faculty is second to none. They are extremely supportive to students and inventive on creating a unique learning experience. The bureaucracy of the school is crippling in trying to navigate basic student needs such as financial aid and registration. They are not helpful unless you visit them in person, which makes it impossible when you try to reach them over any breaks if you’re not near DC. The school does not value having graduate student housing, as seen by their elimination of it in the 2020-21 school year. Their scholarships are, while generous, misleading in the amount of time they will be received. I would rather have known I would receive aid for all four semesters at smaller increments than to have it depleted in my first year, something only the finest of print alludes to. Otherwise, the opportunities provided by education at GW is excellent and the ability to take classes across departments germane to your research focus is great.

They extremely personable, supportive, understanding, and mentoring. Yes, the school is still wildly expensive, but thankfully they really try to help worth that too (grants, scholarships, and other financial aid). Plus, the quality of the education is second to none. TCU is a university I'd highly recommend to anyone.

Small enough that you know people in your classes, but big enough that you could meet someone new every day if you tried. Main street is nice. Definitely bring a car or you will quickly feel stuck. Lots of different types of housing options in the area. Biking is easy. Classes range from three people to hundreds depending on the major. Get ice cream at UDairy.

                                                  Cons: The campus buildings are very spread out. Meals at the campus dining center are exorbitantly expensive. Lack of funding. On- and off-campus housing is either too expensive or very low-quality (noise, lack of maintenance, mold, bad landlords).

The main campus of USF, is located right in the middle of Tampa, Florida. It is surrounded by fine dining, theme parks, a lively downtown, and beautiful beaches. My time at USF has always been a pleasure, and I have been fortunate enough to meet and study beside some of the most gifted individuals. My favorite part of USF is the staff because they are always readily available to help you with anything and everything. They truly have made my experience AT USF an easy one!
