University of Southern California

• Graduate School
• Los Angeles, CA
• 37 reviews

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!

Northeastern University

• Graduate School
• Boston, MA
• 18 reviews

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.

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: 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 School
• Provo, UT
• 33 reviews

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.

Penn State

• Graduate School
• University Park, PA
• 10 reviews

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: 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!

Indiana University - Bloomington

• Graduate School
• Bloomington, IN
• 6 reviews

Graduate Student: The school has excellent resources and does a lot of extras for the students. They provide expert lecturers, and even preparatory classes for industry certifications. There are lots of student activities and opportunities to get involved in different organizations. For example, activities for scholarly interests such as technology, law, and computing. Also, social activities related to hobbies, student government, or other commonalities.
The professors are amazing and discuss their knowledge of current events and their research. The school is very concerned about safety too. They publish when incidents have occurred or weather is expected. College employees really seem invested in their jobs and often have a long-term tenure.

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.

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.

University at Buffalo, SUNY

• Graduate School
• Buffalo, NY
• 9 reviews

Graduate Student: The University at Buffalo is a great research institution with affordable tuition. I received my BA from UB and decided to return to pursue my Master of Social Work degree (UB's School of Social Work is one of the top 50 in the nation). The size of the university can be intimidating, so it's definitely important to find a community within the university. For example, I majored in Gender Studies for my undergrad degree, which was a small major so I was able to get to know people in a smaller setting. I've enjoyed being able to meet people from around the country and around the world, as UB has a large population of international students. There are tons of opportunities to get involved with research which is super exciting! UB has endless opportunities which I am very grateful for!

University of Tennessee

Graduate Student: The University of Tennessee provided me with a surprisingly nonbias education despite being located in the conservative south. The University's motto of 'vols help vols' definitely rings true, as the community of students was always readily available to help one another.

Graduate Student: A beautiful campus with great athletics, academics, and student life. The neighborhood of Rogers Park is a great place to be, and the main campuses are both great. Being right next to Lake Michigan or right in the heart of downtown is an amazing park of attending school here.

Seton Hall University

• Graduate School
• South Orange, NJ
• 19 reviews

Graduate Student: I was a biology student. Learn to teach yourself, that is what seton hall promotes and in the end is the best skill you can have to be honest. In the beginning it is hard, especially in the sciences, but professors are willing to meet with you outside of class. Unless school comes easy to you, most science professors will force you to teach yourself, watch youtube videos, etc. I can't speak for any other majors. PA program is stellar, but very hard.

Ball State University

• Graduate School
• Muncie, IN
• 6 reviews

Graduate Student: I like how involvd all my professors have been with my success. I also like that the provide my courses online so that I can work full time while also being a grad student. In addition, it’s a huge benefit that all the courses I need to take are available and it does not seem as impacted as my previous undergrad school was, SJSU. Area’s that Ball State can improve on are administrative staff and how avaialable they are in helping you. It is usually challenging to get a call back or response when having issues with registration, loans or financial aid. Ultimately, I would recommend BSU to anyone ready to begin their college career.
