Stanford University

• Graduate School
• Stanford, CA
• 2 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.

University of Pennsylvania

• Graduate School
• Philadelphia, PA
• 29 reviews

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.

Brown University

• Graduate School
• Providence, RI
• 3 reviews

Graduate Student: Small classes, great faculty and very smart and talented students. I love the campus just as much as the dorms. RI in general is a very cute little place that allows just the right academic setting that Brown students need. The course work and homeworks are heavy sometimes, but worth it.

Rice University

• Houston, TX
• 1 review

Graduate Student: This is an amazing university filled with friendly and educated people around every corner. It also does not hurt that the campus is one of the most beautiful that I have ever been on. There are trees everywhere. Nearly everywhere you go, you are surrounded by nature and owls!

Cornell University

• Graduate School
• Ithaca, NY
• 2 reviews

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.

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

• Graduate School
• Chapel Hill, NC
• 10 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.

University of Texas - Austin

• Graduate School
• Austin, TX
• 9 reviews

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 School
• Chestnut Hill, MA
• 1 review

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.

New York University

• Graduate School
• New York, NY
• 20 reviews

Sophomore: I have only been at New York University for a year now, but this year has been a ride. I thought I was overly-prepared fro college, yet still got a huge shock when I arrived. I am currently a mechanical engineering major at NYU's Tandon School of Engineering, where the competition is at an all time high. This actually motivated me to do better and be better. However, there were times that I would break down, and felt like I had nowhere to go. Though college is for adults, sometimes I felt limited in options. I would like NYU to better their administration facilities.

University of Florida

• Graduate School
• Gainesville, FL
• 37 reviews

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.

University of Rochester

• Graduate School
• Rochester, NY
• 5 reviews

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.

Boston University

• Graduate School
• Boston, MA
• 15 reviews

Graduate Student: I absolutely love Boston University! I am actually an online student who lives in Seattle, Washington but recently had the chance to visit this Boston University in person this past February! The architecture is beautiful and the location is as well. I would have been attending the School of Social Work which is a separate campus and is right next to a beautiful body of water. Since I do not attend BU in person, I would love to say that my online professors have been more than helpful; they have personally inspired me as well as motivated me. My professors go above and beyond for me, this is why I will always choose Boston University and recommend this school to everyone!

Graduate Student: An amazing institution! UGA has something for every student, regardless of their intended major or interest. You can be a theater-loving rugby player or a chemistry/hip-hop dance double major and UGA will surely have a club or class that you can get involved in. Not only that but UGA is also located in one of the best cities in the world, Athens, GA!

• 11 reviews

Graduate Student: LOVE THIS SCHOOL with all my heart- very proud to be an alum. I wish Hillsborough street was cleaned up a little more- take out the old/sketchy stores/restaurants and replace them with trendier stores/restaurants.
Greek life was just okay.
Food on campus could be higher quality/healthier
Classes and education was great!

Michigan Technological University

Graduate Student: Michigan Tech is a hub for nerdy, intelligent people who are passionate about science, and the outdoors. It is also very far removed from neighboring cities, so you quickly become part of a community on campus.

University of California - Irvine

• Graduate School
• Irvine, CA
• 8 reviews

Graduate Student: I pursued pharmaceutical sciences as my major at UCI and it was probably one of the best choices I've ever made. Not only was I able to take courses pertinent for pharmacy, I was also able to build connections with faculty and make long-lasting friendships with the people who support me and my dreams. I believe that college should be a learning experience for students to grow and mature independently and UCI definitely does that.

University of Iowa

• Graduate School
• Iowa City, IA
• 8 reviews

Graduate Student: I would like to see professors become more student centered verses them having their own agenda. They are instructors and need to learn how to teach what they are experts in. Other items I would change would be the parking at Iowa. Its cheaper to park in Chicago than it is to park in Iowa City. The city has a napoleon complex and pretends to be this "culturally unbiased" institution in which you see the dark sides of a ultra conservative state lay root in the very Pentacrest that this institution prides itself. Other than that...good party school, go hawks.

Iowa State University

• Graduate School
• Ames, IA
• 3 reviews

Graduate Student: I’m a transfer student from Illinois and could not be happier with my decision to attend Iowa State. I felt like part of the University from the moment I stepped onto the campus for my orientation. Coming in as a junior I had concerns of making friends and felt a lot of anxiety that I might be behind other classmates in my area of studies. My concerns melted that first week. My professors had me up to speed in no time. My roommates, both seniors have become my best friends and made sure I knew everything I needed to know to be a part of the Iowa State Family.

Texas Christian University

• Fort Worth, TX
• 3 reviews

Graduate Student: I have gone from viewing this school as one for just rich snobs to very proud Frog. The staff are incredible! 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.

Syracuse University

• Graduate School
• Syracuse, NY
• 9 reviews

Graduate Student: It is such an amazing university. The staff is very kind, professional, patient and helpful. Such good traits will most definitely impact positively on one's studies. Even though I have not yet been physically there as my classes are commencing in 2019, I already feel like I have been there already. The online warm reception from the staff draws one's interest and full attention to the university. They incite students and help them believe in themselves. They make one feel like a member of syracuse university even at inception of Application process. Nevertheless, I have been following the university in respect of other fields, more particularly the academics. The university has been doing exceptionally well. It endlessly produces excellent results.
