Senior: Attending New York University has been an incredible journey that I highly recommend. The urban campus, deeply embedded in NYC, offers unique connections to the city's core communities, enhancing academic and professional experiences. NYU's lively and diverse student communities, such as the LGBTQ+ Center and the Center for Multicultural Education and Programs, have been influential, creating a welcoming and inclusive environment. Academically, NYU excels in providing rich research opportunities, including the Dean's Undergraduate Research Fund (DURF) and the Undergraduate Research Conference. However, one area for improvement is financial support for housing and living expenses. The high cost of living in New York City can be challenging, and additional assistance would greatly benefit students.... Read 5,750 reviews

Senior: I’ve really enjoyed my time at FIT. There are a lot of great professors who really know what they’re talking about and the student body is incredibly diverse. That being said, the school has so many administrative issues and elaborate red tape if you want to do anything. The disability office and accommodations are terrible and impossible to work with. The staff in the dining hall are particularly rude. But, all of that is worth it for the academics.... Read 1,676 reviews

Alum: I was a Double Major at Pace University, studying Political Science and Peace & Justice Studies. I can honestly say that I got an education and university experience that afforded me groundbreaking experiences than any Ivy League could have given me. I traveled the world, and received mentorship from Nobel Peace Prize laureates, while also being afforded opportunities to lobby and provide insights at the United Nations. For many, including myself the education that Pace University afforded me provided me with merits/foundation to serve in international capacities AND matriculate at one of the best graduate universities in the world (for my field)- Columbia School of International Affairs....

Freshman: My experience with Berkeley College has been great. My first year in getting started with school the enrolling, tuition and financial aid was pretty easy to take care of. All the advisors and school staff helped with any issues I had . The professors are respond when I have a question or issue with my assignments. The tutor trac is very helpful. The tutors are very patient and respectfully helpful. I recommend anyone to attend Berkeley College. It's a good school. Either attending in school or online Berkeley has many academic of study with great professors. Off hand, I can't think of anything I'd like to see change.

Alum: I graduated from the School of Visual Arts with honors, majoring in Fine Arts. It was a really fun time; the facilities are fantastic, allowing you to experiment with both traditional and modern technologies. Additionally, the Fine Arts building is near Chelsea, so you can easily attend all the gallery openings. My studio space was in the basement, which I really liked because it was larger than other studio spaces. However, the air quality wasn't great since there were no windows, and it was right next to the metal shop. I highly recommend doing internships during school. I don't recommend the food at the school, but you can find good and diverse options in the local area. There are tons of great places for food and coffee around the school. Also, there are lots of fun parties you can join. I think it's a great time to spend your early 20s in NYC. After school, try to stay in NYC and find a job instead of going back to your hometown right away. And always look for extra funding!... Read 539 reviews

Junior: Baruch is a good commuter college for college students want to have careers in the business field. They also cater to other careers, but business is what they are known for. It is very accessible when it comes to transportation, food, and resources outside of the school; however, more student life activities that are convenient within a certain timeframe would be better and having more wide range of professors in each course than ones who has been teaching their for a while and loss their passion in teaching.

Senior: It is a great place, if that is what you are looking for, but there is room for improvement. When describing a place as "a great place, if that is what you are looking for, but there is room for improvement," I'm acknowledging both the positive aspects and the areas that could be enhanced. It implies that the place has its strengths, but it's not without its flaws. What I liked about this place is likely its strong points, which could vary depending on the context. It might have a beautiful ambiance, friendly staff, excellent facilities, or maybe it perfectly aligns with a specific need or preference.

Alum: As a biochemistry student at Columbia University, my experience was extraordinary. The Core Curriculum was a highlight, exposing me to literature, philosophy, art history, and music. This interdisciplinary approach enriched my understanding and fostered critical thinking and analytical writing skills. Beyond academics, I loved engaging with the community through Peer Health Exchange (now S-HEAL), where I educated high school students on health and wellness. This experience enhanced my communication skills and deepened my commitment to public health. Writing for The Spectator allowed me to make scientific concepts accessible, improving my ability to articulate ideas clearly. Additionally, Columbia’s vibrant arts scene, from Miller Theatre performances to Wallach Art Gallery exhibitions, provided a rich cultural balance to my studies.

Alum: My time at John Jay College of Criminal Justice was excellent. Courses were interesting and educational due to the instructors and staff's extraordinary expertise and passion for their subjects. Meaningful interactions with professors and individualized attention were made possible by the small class sizes. The campus itself was clean, contemporary, and full of amenities for students to use, including computer labs, study areas, and libraries. Also, students from all around the city could simply travel to the university via public transportation, which made their commute effortless. All things considered, I heartily endorse John Jay College of Criminal Justice to any student seeking a demanding curriculum, a caring campus environment, and chances for both professional and personal development.

The campus is safe and inclusive as the public can walk in to enjoy the campus garden and sculptures. Safety is always great for the students that live there. The housing is good too with a wide variety of options from townhouses to other options for dorming. The campus is gated with a few buildings outside of the main blocks that are very nearby.

Sophomore: From the minute I walked onto campus for my accepted students day, I knew I had found my home. I committed to IC in April 2023 for 3 things: The SLPA program, ICTV, and the campus views/size. Most faculty and classmates I’ve met have been very supportive so far, and Stud. Acc. Serv. & ResLife has easy contacts. Ironically, with IC’s campus being marketed as small, the number of accessible paths for disabled people is low. It's very "stair-y", like around the upper campus with some dorms, & the one way to get there is by taking a frequently broken elevator in the Baker walkway in Whalen, which only brings you about halfway. About 4/28 residential buildings on campus have available AC, & none are renovated. The food options at the dining halls are slim pickings (dietary restrictions or allergies), but IC has 10 cafes. There are many opportunities for students in academics, campus/student life, etc, with a large alumni network. The TCAT buses are amazing to get to and around the city!... Read 2,079 reviews

Alum: Overall good experience. My critiques; Residence life could use some improvement. I had a bad roommate situation with harassment that wasn't handled well. I also feel that there needs to be more campus housing. All dorm rooms were the same price, which felt unfair to me as some were built just 4 years ago while others were built before the 60s. During my time there, several STEM buildings were built, but it's primarily an Arts & Humanities college, so I think more funding should go towards those, especially because the fine arts buildings are getting old. Food could also use improvement, in terms of quality, nutrition, variety, and hours. Many of the options regularly offered weren't necessarily friendly to dietary restrictions, and many were unhealthy junk foods. On the positive side, most of my professors were awesome; specific and thorough instructions, accommodating when I needed it, and really got me thinking. I'm still in contact with my advisor and I graduated 3 years ago!... Read 1,494 reviews
