College Reviews

Georgia Tech: Georgia Institute of Technology
To be prepared for Georgia Tech, you need to be able to handle large amounts of work and push yourself beyond your limits. I chose Tech because of its difficult workload, excellent academics and affordable cost. You should stay away from Tech if you're lazy and not willing to endure the many challenges you will definitely face. Nevertheless its a great school, I love it here.

Trinity College DC: An Quiet Bubble in a Big City
I chose Trinity because I wanted to attend a small school with small classes, but I still wanted to be in an interesting, urban environment. Trinity is a good option to consider if the idea of a quiet campus (quiet in every sense of the word—we have almost no parties and fairly limited extracurriculars, and the campus is in a residential section of D.C.) appeals to you. If you're looking for more of a big-school experience, Trinity's laid-back campus vibe won't do much for you.

Union College Schenectady: U
If you're looking at a small school like Union, make sure you're happy with the student body;Union is both small and pretty homogenous, so if you want to meet a lot of different types of people, Union doesn't have much to offer.

Emerson: Stealing your money since 1880 and spending it on booze and parties
When I started at Emerson, I was so excited and ready to begin what I thought would be a new adventurous and educational life. Instead, I spent 2 years being disrespected, bullied, or ignored by the faculty and staff at Emerson College. For a communications school, there is little to no communication between departments or with students.

University of Miami: UM - the insanity
I'm from Miami originally so I fit into the commuter student clan. most people from my high school didn't get in so I was forced to make all new friends, which was awesome because all the out of city students appreciate my knowledge of the city (and where not to be at 3 a.m.) A LOT of people are super shallow, especially those in the greek system. other clubs like the Association of Commuter Students is great, friendly, and down to earth. there's tons of others but thats the one I'm involved wit...

Sacred Heart: Do Not Waste Money for this rip off school!!
Sacred Heart University is pretty much an all Long Island kid school. If people are from Long Island then you might like it but if you are from another state, there is a chance it will be very hard for you to make friends. I am from Connecticut and realized right away that I will not be able to make a lot of friends.

Hofstra: Hofstra Pride
Hofstra is an amazing shcool, I was worried about attending for a while as the reviews online did not exactly have the best advice. But after being here for my first semester, I'm glad to say i LOVE hofstra and I attended this school. If your idea of fun is studying all day and never socializing then hofstra is not for you, but if you enjoy the beach, city, night life and some work to keep you leveled then hofstra is the school of you. :)

UMass - Amherst: horrible "school"
Don't go here, Umass amherst sucks

University of Kansas: KU...KO'ed
I was born in raised in Kansas City, Kansas. Before choosing KU I visited Nebraska, Oklahoma, Missouri, Iowa, K-state, and Washington University in STL. I honestly dont know what to say about their academics. Par? Sub-par? They arent spectacular and you will not be treated like a "wanted" student. The campus is very conservative and there is a large number of pot-heads and otherwise unmotivated students.

WMU - Western Michigan: Western Michigan University-A real look
Western Michigan is a perfect fit for the common man. You don't mind sitting through lectures, you are outgoing and social, and you can know how to buckle down when needed and study. If you have responsibility problems, you should not go here. If you are extremely conservative (beyond politics, with your life) you should not go here.

Wellesley: A Rigid, Robot-Making Machine
When applying to college, I thought that a small college environment where I would get maximum attention from professors, and an optimal level of class discussion, would be perfect for me. I also wanted to go to a competitive school. Much of this IS true about Wellesley. We do have relatively small classes, and definitely a very intense and competitive atmosphere. However, only come here if you're the kind of girl who hones her resume to perfection and grinds down to perfect As. Perfectionists w...

University at Buffalo: UB!!!!
Get involved! There are so many clubs and activities that you might not even know about. I missed out on a lot of them. NOW I'm beginning to see all the things out there. It is the end of my freshmen year but wth, I still have 3 more years, maybe more :D

MSU - Michigan State: Better think twice
One of America's worst universities. In "Educational Statistics" edition about 2004, a major reference work like a "book of lists", MSU simultaneously ranked nationally: 1. 5th in worst faculty 2. 2-4th in gun arrests (rankings were 2d, 3d and 4th for the following, but I don't remember which was which) 3. 2-4th in drug arrests 4. 2-4th in alcohol rehab rates per capita

LMU-LA: My Advice
I chose LMU because of the campus and i had always wanted to go to California for school. If you don't have tons of money or don't care a lot about fashion don't go here. It may be right for people who want to party all the time and like to be seen doing the latest hip thing. If that is you then go to LMU.

UC Berkeley: Berkeley the place to be for smart, good looking peeps out there
Students who very smart and are willing to spend time studying will surely survive and thrive in Berkeley.
