College Reviews

CNU - Christopher Newport: CNU is the only school that PAYS STUDENTS TO REMOVE NEGATIVE PUBLICITY.
BE CAREFUL OF WHAT YOU READ ON CNU STUDENT OR PARENT SITES ABOUT THIS UNIVERSITY - THE UNIVERSITY HAS A QUESTIONABLE HISTORY AND REPUTATION. In March 2012 theft of the student newspaper by paid university fellows at the instruction of the administration. President Trible said that he would punish them all the while praising them as people who "love" the university. A year earlier, the provost was quoted in media as denouncing the paper as "scandal mongers." When the school paper tried to cover ...

CNU - Christopher Newport: Don't Waste Your Time Here
I was forced to go here because both parents were in the Navy and it was either here or Norfolk State. Money was scarce and I needed to keep my job full time so this school was below me. I graduated 1 year and 1 week ago. Anyway, the school is a monument by former US Senator Trible to himself: Trible Library, Trible Quad, Trible everything. The high crime rate on campus: hidden. Possible methamphetamine lab found in the dorms: hidden. Student newspapers about the incident: removed by pe...

BGSU - Bowling Green: DO NOT STUDY MUSIC AT BGSU!!!!
Many academic music programs are oppressively dogmatic with their aesthetics and ideologies. This is one of those programs. If you are thinking of studying music composition at BGSU, please, PLEASE do yourself a favor and read the entirety of my review! Avant-garde reigns supreme at BGSU. Anything else is not only discouraged but DISCRIMINATED against. If avant-garde is your aesthetic, then you just might love it here. They have cultivated an atmosphere that is nurturing and beneficial S...

W&M - William and Mary: William & Mary: where the best years of your life will be spent in misery
I chose William and Mary because of its prestige and cost- as an instate student, I felt it was a pretty good deal for what I was paying for a "public Ivy". I had countless friends warn me away from the school. When I was applying, people frequently told me how hard it was, how social life sucked, people that went there were weird and unattractive, and it had a reputation for being a suicide school. As it turns out, every single bad thing I heard turned out to be true. The parties are ...

SUNY Old Westbury: Are You Sure?
are you sure you would like to attend this school? to start, almost of the students who attend this school reside in the boroughs. so if your a city kid looking for change, think again.. because your jumping into a pool of the same things you've been dealing with all of your life. this is a small campus where everyone knows everyone, so privacy is not an option. the bursar office always messes up your account and never answers the phone when you need them, yet, they assume that you owe them mone...

PSU: Diversity University
The most creative university that you have to choose.

NIU - Northern Illinois University: NIU has very solid academics, is upping the ante on research, and is a good time!
I chose NIU Because it was "away from home", but also close enough to head home to (Northern Chicago Suburbs) when I needed to. The academics were great, classes were small and professors were good. Tailgating for football was a blast and I enjoyed the bar scene (Mollys and Fattys were my faves, but all were good).

MSOE: Hard School, but worth it
First off if you don't want to be an Engineer or work hard don't go to MSOE. It is not a party school and nothing about it is easy. That said if you are ready to do lots of work for 4 years and then get seriously paid when you graduate come here.

Notre Dame: ND- An Outstanding Place of Study
I would advise ambitious students to come here for a number of reasons. First, ND carries a reputation as being a top-notch institution but it is not as competitive as places like Cornell or Chicago. To rephrase, they do not deflate grades here and you can still do well while keeping sane. The campus is gorgeous, and if you are religious (Catholic) this place is one of kind. That being said, it is not very diverse, it is isolated (not many kids leave campus very often), and if you do not like it...

SUNY Geneseo: An experience that I wouldn't trade for anything
The school is a perfect pick for whatever lifestyle you come from or are accustomed to. There are plenty of on campus activities that will hold your interest. In addition, the student population make the school and the town, so as long as you are having a great time, everyone else is too.

U-Dub - University of Washington: engineering HELL
unless your a very determined student i advice you to stay a way!!!. I'm talking about their engineering program btw

TAMIU: enjoyed
the academics and the people were great

University at Buffalo: Great School
UB is a world class institution. It was founded in 1846...and this school has a ton of traditions. South campus is amazingly beautiful, and north campus is nice with the modern architecture and lake. UB is large, but the classes generally aren't. If you're looking for a good prestigious public college with a little bit of "private" mixed in, UB is the place for you.

UC Berkeley: Picking the Right GSI
Picking the right GSI is really important, especially in Berkeley!! GSI's usually do most of the grading as well. To see the rating for your GSI visit www.RateMyGSI.com

UNLV: UNLV SUCKS!
I chose to go to UNLV to get an education, but this school does not want you to succeed. Most professors I have encountered are so overrated! I think it's because they are being told to give their students a hard time so they have the option to make you either withdrawal a class or give you an F so you could go back next semester to repeat the course again so they could get your money. Obviously, that's the only way UNLV can earn their money with the economy being down.
