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.

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

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: This is by far one of the best college campuses in America! The school is large and very beautiful with breathtaking architecture. The school community is close knit and very diverse. I won't mention about the weather, you have to experience it by yourself.

University of California - Berkeley
Graduate School
Berkeley, CA

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
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

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.

Lehigh University

Graduate Student: Amazing school for business. Lots of connections especially through professors who have worked with big-named companies. The Big Four also recruits a large population from here. Most students get internships starting freshmen year and secured job offers by junior year. However, for Engineering Lehigh is ok. There is prestige and the curriculum is pretty robust. Job prospects are average. As for other majors, I've seen many students struggle post graduation.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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: The University is great for academic exposure. The University focuses on interdisciplinary approach and promotes students to take courses from other departments.
University almost helps everyone with some sort of funding. The overall living cost in UC area is low which also helps a lot of Stevens’s particularly international students. University also has great extra curricular facilities and sports infrastructure. The fact that it is highly ranked and respected the university has a support of one of the largest alumni network in world.

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!

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.

University Park, PA

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.

Graduate Student: There were so many opportunities I missed out on during my undergraduate career at TAMU. I am back now for my master's and I wish when I had more time as an undergrad to go out and explore my campus, organizations, and talk with more people in my classes and talk with my professors. Go to office hours! Take advantage of the REC center. Attend events on campus and bring some friends along. Get involved in your community. It's important to explore your freshman first semester and then build a strong foundation your second semester and learn from previous mistakes.

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!
