Junior: After three challenging, exciting, and transformational years at Pomona, I feel that I can confidently say that I wouldn't want to have studied anywhere else, and I'm already mourning that I'll have to leave this place after next year. Pomona maintains a truly unique culture among elite higher education. Students here are bright and academically top-notch, sure, but, more importantly, they are genuinely curious about the world, open-minded, and passionate about knowledge and justice. I have been challenged academically and personally, and grown more than I could have imagined as a result. The school has its problems, of course: for one, the administration is opaque and unresponsive to student needs. But the dedicated faculty, laidback California atmosphere, and student body more than make up for them. If you are given the opportunity to study here, seriously consider it: you will grow as a student and as a person.... Read 423 reviews

Alum: As with any college, the experience is what you make of it. UCLA just presents a lot of diversity in terms of the experiences that you can have. You can get your party fix in on Thursdays at frat row, kickbacks through cultural or professional organizations, or even a warehouse rave in the Arts District. Academically, there are plenty of opportunities for research and internships. It can be difficult to get into certain classes until you are in your 3rd or 4th year, though. Living on campus is really helpful for finding friends and the food is definitely a blow-out compared to other schools I've visited. Only downside is that housing in general is expensive due to the area, so you'll likely be sharing a room and living on a budget!... Read 5,594 reviews

Sophomore: Transferred in from a flagship state school and have no regrets. Found more welcoming communities, interesting professional/research opportunities, and more engaging classes. Facilities and the overall area (being in between LA County and San Bernardino) are somewhat underwhelming but can be made more enjoyable with a car. Food and residential life is good, and you'll find most people are friendly across the 5Cs. More specific to CMC, students love having profound conversations and engaging in multiple productive pursuits. It's definitely a grind, but a fulfilling one -- especially if you're pre-professional interested in IB/Consulting.... Read 432 reviews

Junior: I absolutely love the University of Southern California! Besides the amazing weather, USC is a diverse and supportive environment with tons of school spirit. With so many schools and majors to choose from, academically, you are surrounded by so many talented and intelligent students with various aspirations. I appreciate that USC encourages interdisciplinary studies. As a joint major between the Marshall School of Business and School of Cinematic Arts, I've met likeminded individuals and have got plenty of opportunities to be involved in relevant organizations and get support on internships and my career.

Senior: I enjoyed by UCI experience. I liked how diverse the campus was and the proximity of good study spots such as local cafes and the beach for when I needed to take study breaks. I also liked that it is close to home, since I do live in Irvine. The academics challenged me but also gave me room for relaxing so that the classes were not too overwhelming. There was a mix of rigorous courses and fun electives, which made for a well-rounded education and time for research opportunities and joining club organizations. I would like to see more parking on-campus, since it was often hard to find parking close to my courses. I would also like to see more scholarship opportunities advertised through the university email, since I know many people (including myself) have trouble affording a college education. I would have also liked to have more one-on-one counseling guidance, since we are not assigned a specific counselor to check in with at UCI. This would have helped me prepare for grad school....

Sophomore: Like everything, there are ups and downs and days where I wish I were back home with my dogs, but I love Occidental College, and I've had such a great experience so far. I am only a sophomore and have already taken a wide diversity of courses with phenomenal professors, met incredible friends, and have had many opportunities to help professors with their research. I have an environmental science concentration with my major and have worked in my biology professor's lab since the first semester of my first year! Being at Oxy, a small school, enables me to build a great network of mentors and participate in undergraduate research throughout the school year and independent paid research over the summer. Ultimately, I have loved the experiences of being at Oxy and being able to take a comprehensive arrangement of courses and do stem research.... Read 510 reviews

Alum: I really enjoyed my overall experience as an undergraduate psychology student at CSULB. The pros are greatly that psychology students have their own well-designed program and building, incentivizing psychology students to make use of their uniquely cultivated environment and resources. Overall the professors are good, with the occasional one or two you just needed to bear. For the most part, I had a fantastic time. Loved the bar on campus, food was great, aside from the fact that the campus is MASSIVE and ye be dying a bit from class to class it's a great school. I applied to CSULB for graduate school and was ultimately rejected, which was beyond frustrating considering I graduated Magna Cum Laude and did very well there. But I get it, there are never any guarantees. And still, I got into an impeccable graduate program at Fordham in NYC because of the undergraduate education I did acquire. I walked the lawn of CSULB, so I could run through castle-like halls at Fordham!... Read 4,898 reviews

Alum: These negative reviews of Pitzer College are strange, as they don't reflect my experience at Pitzer College at all. Year after year Pitzer College is a top producer of Fulbright Fellowship recipients. Year after year students win the following fellowships, scholarships and awards: Fulbright Scholar, Coro Fellowship, Rhodes Scholar, Watson Fellowship, Mellon Mays Fellowship, Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship, National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship,Truman Scholarship, Napier Award for Creative Leadership, McNair Scholarship, Kemper Scholarship, Ford Foundation Predoctoral Fellowship, Ford Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship, Harvard Model United Nations Best/Outstanding Delegate Award, Mellon Foundation Grant, W.M.

Other: I am yet to get to Pepperdine cause I was just accepted recently as a transfer student, but from my communication with my admissions counsellor was the best. Madam Brooke was just a lovely lady full of patience and guided me all the way. Considering that I'll be relocating from Kenya to Malibu, I hope to get the most out of Pepperdine because it is what encouraged me to apply. I love the serene environment and that they don't experience seasons hence more time at the beach and oh my do I love the beach! The religious aspect of Pepperdine also motivates me as I come from a religious background of being affiliated with the Church of Christ. I love that come this Fall, I'll be able to be in a warm and acceptable environment to continue with my studies. Over and over again I will always choose Pepperdine!... Read 1,369 reviews

Alum: The last four years that I have spent at Biola were transformational, and I am so grateful for my time at the university. As an English major, I was challenged both academically and spiritually. Each of my professors within the English department was intentional in supporting my growth, taking the time to know me as a student and as an individual. In addition to my studies in English, Biola also enabled me to graduate with my Secondary Education teaching credential and minors in Psychology and Bible. My experience with these diverse fields has prepared me well to serve adolescents as a middle school English teacher this fall! The community at Biola is welcoming, genuine, and passionate about following Jesus. For Biolans, faith is not an afterthought or something to be explored in Bible classes, but rather a vibrant walk with Christ that spills over into our learning, our conversations, and our relationships. I can't say enough good about Biola University. Come and see for yourself!... Read 2,324 reviews

Junior: Choosing UC Riverside for my pre-med education was the best decision I’d ever made, driven by its unparalleled resources and supportive community. Opting for UCR's Honors program over other “prestigious” schools I got into like UC Berkeley and University of Waterloo, I've found a wealth of opportunities here from day one! UCR excels in preparing students for medical school with expert faculty, extensive mentorship, and immediate research opportunities. Undergrads are also guaranteed a spot in UCR’s medical school! The environment here is exceptionally welcoming and highly diverse, fostering both academic and personal growth. Plus, with its membership in the prestigious Association of American Universities and a top 1% global ranking, UCR’s commitment to excellence are unmistakable. Social life is great too! UC Riv is a vibrant + transformative university that propels all its students toward success, making it a top choice for anyone pursuing a rigorous and rewarding academic journey....

Sophomore: I had a pretty good overall experience during my first year at the Mount. I would recommend looking on rate my professor before officially registering for a course so you can ensure you are getting the best professor for your learning style. In terms of athletics there isn’t really any sports besides volleyball, however, I am planning on starting a flag football team since I feel that would be a pretty fun experience. If you’re interested in going to parties, since UCLA is pretty close to the Chalon Campus, I would suggest you go to those parties with people you trust, if you live at Chalon. If you live at the Doheny Campus go to the USC parties. In terms of Campus Life everyone is very welcoming especially because everyone is feeling just as nervous as you are so everyone is trying to make friends with one another, but some are definitely shy so they might not try to interact, but definitely interact with them....

Senior: A lot of student events like fairs, night markets, halloween parties etc to allow students to have fun. They allow mini concerts for students to perform, crunch time for finals, small events throughout the semester where students can come by, make art, and have free food. They offer a farmers market on tuesdays with a lot of vendors and food trucks available. Heavily encourage student mental health. Very diverse in terms of race and in terms of identity and orientation. An amazing health care clinic on campus that is free/included in tuition. They offer free printing in multiple places. They have a center to get massages and sleep. They have a school gym that even has a rock climbing wall and a dance studio that students can freely practice in. They offer the ability for students to rent out iPads, laptops, hotspots etc that we can keep throughout the semesters. Downsides: we still have to pay for parking despite the increasing tuition.
