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 Wisconsin

• Graduate School
• Madison, WI
• 8 reviews

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.

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.

Texas A&M University

• Graduate School
• College Station, TX
• 19 reviews

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.

The Ohio State University

• Graduate School
• Columbus, OH
• 13 reviews

Graduate Student: I could not love this university more. There is a place for everyone and college is what you make of it. 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!

Greek life was just okay.
Food on campus could be higher quality/healthier
Classes and education was great!

University of Maryland - College Park

• Graduate School
• College Park, MD
• 15 reviews

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.

University of Delaware

Graduate Student: Beautiful and walk-able campus. 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.

• 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.

University of Oklahoma

• Graduate School
• Norman, OK
• 15 reviews

Graduate Student: The University of Oklahoma has a very traditional feel to it. It also is a rather large state university, but runs and feels like a small one. There is always something going on and it is easy for students to feel at home here. I loved my time at the university and truly believe in many of the values the school holds it's students to. There are some improvements to be made, but the faculty and student body are constantly working towards these improvements to make the campus and the world a better place. Plus, you can't neglect Sooner Football and the incredible arts! Boomer Sooner!
