  1. Yale University

    • Graduate School
    • New Haven, CT
    • 5

    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
      • 30

      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.

          • Georgetown University

            • Graduate School
            • Washington, DC
            • 12

            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.

                Graduate Student: I am a first year graduate student in their online Museum Studies program. So far, I love everything about Johns Hopkins University. My professors have been very attentive and answer all my questions quickly, the work is very relevant and there are so many resources to help me. JHU's admissions office and academic advisors have been in constant contact with me, making sure I was all set for the semester. My student alumni ambassador is a wonderful person who has been helping me with JHU on a personally experienced level as she has graduated from the same program. I am proud to be a part of the JHU community!

                • 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.

                    Graduate Student: I am a graduate student in Northeastern University. I have completed my 1st semester in the college of engineering, and have had a very wonderful experience. 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.

                      I was really excited to be accepted to NYU. They really made a difference in my life and my overall academic career. Their education is unmatched. I would highly recommend this school to anyone who wishes to go to a school that is top-notch in the NY area and is also diverse.

                        Graduate Student: I'm in my second year as a grad student at UW-Madison. It's great! I really like it! The university overall is extremely research based, which is not for everybody. I do think that the incredible reputation of this university is mostly built on alumni relations, rather than actual academic quality. Madison is a fantastic place, the campus is beautiful, and State Street leading up to the capitol are iconic.

                          • Gainesville, FL
                          • 37

                          Graduate Student: I liked that there was a sense of family on campus...which is a pretty impressive feeling to create on a campus that has about 50,000 undergraduate students. Also, I loved my professors and all of my classes; most of the professors really genuinely care about the success of their students and want them to learn and do well. The campus is gorgeous and there is plenty to do on and around campus. One of my main issues is how hard they push research; there is this feeling among undergraduate students that if you aren't involved in research, either through a thesis project or volunteering in a professor's research lab, then what are you even doing with your life? Research is obviously extremely important and necessary work, but it is pushed so hard that many undergraduates feel overwhelmed and exhausted by the time they complete their bachelor's degree. Also, some departments seem to care more about enticing faculty to come to UF and stay there than they do about the students.

                            • 5

                            Graduate Student: I have attended the University of Rochester School of Nursing for my Bachelors degree in nursing and am currently enrolled for my doctorate of nursing practice degree to become a family nurse practitioner. The school has flexible class times, including evening class time for students who work traditional day-time hours. Many of the classes are completely online or hybrid courses. The professors are often practicing nurses or advanced practice nurses, which allow students to obtain the best possible education. The school is across the street from Strong Memorial Hospital, which makes it convenient for students to juggle work and school schedules.

                              Graduate Student: I loved my professors, my peers, and my major. I also loved how inexpensive BYU was! 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: Penn State was an amazing experience for me. The only thing I recommend is for advisors to be more clear on what major it is that you are investing $100,000 into. My personal return on investment is not enough to break out of student loan debt. I will need to go to graduate school due to the fact that I was unaware of my undergraduate degree's lack of competitiveness in the work world.

I had a job on campus for three years, and was involved in clubs and research. Getting involved was the best decision I ever made. I was committed to many things, always busy, and enjoyed every moment. It doesn’t hurt that sports are fun there. The opportunities are endless, and if you reach out and make an effort you will enjoy your time. I even worked for the university for a year at the Medical Center before going back to graduate school now!

An excellent and highly accredited Medical school program, both Allopathic and Osteopathic. I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology with a specialization in Bioethics, Humanities, and Society. I went on to work on a masters Degree in Public Health (one thesis paper to complete Masters Degree) and I am now a third year Medical student. All of my education has been at Michigan State University and the best years of my life. Michigan State University has given me so much opportunity, personal growth, lifetime friends and the best education.
