lorraine8 says "Friendly To Nontraditional Students" about The University of Texas at El Paso

lorraine8 — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 04:37:15 GMT

UTEP holds my respect for its flexibility and being friendly to those of us who are working full time and finishing school. A good portion of the student population are non-traditional students, so the university goes above and beyond to offer courses at night. The professors had high expectations of their students, however, many were also very encouraging and willing to cheer us on when demands of work and family were becoming too much for us to handle. We were not babied through our college career, but we were encouraged and heard. I was blessed to have received my bachelor's degree from UTEP and have been able to move on to a Master's degree there. I tried an on-line course study at another university for my Master's degree and boy, was it a big disaster. Unlike UTEP professors, I dealt with arrogance, a lack of understanding, and a lack of help whenever I had any questions. Not to mention the huge chunk of cash I had to pay per class. I would not trade the experience I had...

Clatimore says "ISU was a great experience " about Illinois State University

Clatimore — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 22:54:57 GMT

ISU in Normal, IL was where I received my undergraduate degree. It was one of the best experiences I have had in my life. The professors in my degree of study prepared me for my field and were helpful. The campus was very nice and clean. For the most part students were friendly and helpful. I meet 2 of my best friends at ISU. I also meet my husband at ISU. I would recommend ISU to anyone. PROUD...

aaspohr — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 21:39:25 GMT

I love going to Everest College. They are such great people that work there. My advisor and all the ladies in the financial aide office are absoulty wonderful. They are such a great support team and keep me going even when I am burned out. Everyone keeps me focused on the long term goal, that is getting my degree, no matter how...

fayrie says "USC -very high end college in the middle of South Central - odd." about University of Southern California

fayrie — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 02:09:56 GMT

If you decide on the University of Southern California, take advantage of the incredible academic opportunities. You have fantastic instructors, fascinating class choices, and small class sizes (compared to other colleges). The college also has an inordinate amount of money to throw around so make sure you get into the social scene - clubs, public performances, sports, you name it. The school will fund any activity you can justify, too - just ask. — On the down side... — First, the cost. If you're paying for college (or someone you care about is) then go to a 2-year school first to finish out your GE's. No one will ever care as long as the diploma says USC. Otherwise, you'll be paying for your fancy degree for the rest of your life, and not earning any more than if you had attended all four years. — Second, the location. The college is safe for about 2-3 blocks North of the campus, and that's about it. Don't walk...

joefa88 says "too many people, too few classes, too much trouble" about San Francisco State University

joefa88 — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 00:40:54 GMT

I went here for 2 years and am now transfering to USF. I couldnt get any classes, and my counselor told me that I wouldn't graduate in less than 5 years. There are too many people, its a shame because its a nice campus and I've had some great teachers, just way too...

Kit says "Dallas Baptist University is a great environment to learn in!" about Dallas Baptist University

Kit — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 22:28:28 GMT

Dallas Baptist University is a great environment to live, learn, and grow in. The professors are always willing to help in any way they can and they truly care about the welfare of their students. It is also a great social atmosphere and there is always plenty of things do to! I have enjoyed my time at DBU extensively and encourage anyone who is wanting to further their education at a small private school to look into Dallas Baptist...

dbaechtel says "Very Interesting Place" about New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology

dbaechtel — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 21:59:06 GMT

New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology is a very interesting place. It is small, lively and located in the middle of the New Mexico dessert in the small town of Socorro. In addition to some traditional programs, it has Mining, Petroleum and Geology that attracts many foreign students. It also has recently become a center for anti-terrorism research and training. The school recently purchased a ghost town nearby where they can practice their anti-terrorism tactics. — Like I said, a very interesting place. —...

curecancer says "The University of Florida was an awesome experience!" about University of Florida

curecancer — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 17:59:12 GMT

The University of Florida prepared me for the job skills I needed to obtain and retain a job.I was a graduate of the College of Journalism and Communications majoring in Advertising and Public Relations. This was several years ago and now I find myself getting ready to chair the Board af the American Cancer Society local chapter and I'm once again using many of the skills I learned at UF. GO...

Dominochic says "Great campus to earn an education with the benefit of religion!" about Brigham Young University-Idaho

Dominochic — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 15:18:52 GMT

Brigham Young University - Idaho is a great university. Not only do they have small class sizes with well-educated teachers, but the students are hard-working and reputable. The professors are understanding and friendly. Classes are wonderful at preparing students for their future careers and lives. It's a great place to become a better person. I would recommend this university to anyone who wants to get a great education and gain a better understanding of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints....

bess12345 says "Wow. This place is great." about University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia PA

bess12345 — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 14:44:53 GMT

Reduced-price classes are offered at night through the College of General Studies. If you work on campus or have a parent that works on campus, you're likely to have your tuition paid for by the University. Awesome Anthropology/Archaeology Department. Classes usually have video/audio equipment; you can actually do a class report on Powerpoint (instead of presenting your reports via chiseled stone slabs or via cave-painting). I've gone to three universities, and I like this one the best!...

chipp75 says "Caution..." about Regis University

chipp75 — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 05:23:26 GMT

The College of Professional Studies-The MBA program at Regis University in Denver lacks educational integrity. The MBA chairs lacks an MBA and teaches based on a certificate received in management. The program is not ACSB accredited. My advice on enrollment. If you a professional who just needs a degree to advance in your current employment, Regis SPS is a sure bet; however, a fresh undergraduate looking to make waves in the business community--do yourself a favor and take the GMAT and apply to...

asrai0fire says "Total freedom in your education." about Hampshire College

asrai0fire — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 04:05:50 GMT

Hampshire College students have total control over their education. Here, there are no majors or grades or GPAs. Instead, students define themselves by their concentration, their area of interest. You can study anything you want and you're not compared to anyone else because each concentration is unique. Instead of a literature major, you can focus on, "history and literature of the Jewish diaspora," "film/video production," "international health and development," or "3D computer graphic engineering." Instead of 20 or 100 majors, Hampshire has 1200, equal to the number of students. — — Hampshire is located in the foothills of the Berkshire mountains in Western Massachussetts. Here, the woods and the mountains are your playground. You can camp, hike, mountain bike, build a meditation circle, an igloo, a yurt or a treehouse and you don't have to ask for permission. The outdoors program is famous. Hampshire offers a full array of courses in kayaking, ice...

luvvablezoe says "Bemidji State University builds leaders!" about Bemidji State University

luvvablezoe — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 00:47:12 GMT

During the 2001-2003 years at BSU, I was committed to my academics and BSU was a great place to get an education. With plenty of opportunities to volunteer in the community, jobs available to college students, and loads of activities BSU is a great place to get an education....

Dancermaniac says "WCU was a wonderful experience that I would reccomend to most." about West Chester University of Pennsylvania

Dancermaniac — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 13:23:25 GMT

I spend my four years at West Chester University having fun, learning a bit, and dancing a ton. The dance program, which recently has merged with the theatre program, has steadily been improving since its inception over 20 years ago. WCU only offers a dance minor, but has two productions a year and treats them as professional performances which is an awesome learning experience for any dancer. — The acedemic scene is as difficult or easy as you make it. While WCU has many wonderful, inspiring teachers, there are always the few distracted, disorganized professors who make it easy to coast, or far too difficult to pass. However a little research can help skip over these classes and find the ones that are worthwhile and challanging. — The campus is beautiful with large castle-like buildings, green grass, lots of trees and gorgeous scenery. Walking to class on a fall day can make anyone smile. — WCU was absolutely a...

mandiesd says "Good junior college with a lot of choices" about john a logan college

mandiesd — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 04:30:16 GMT

— — It is a very good college. It is just a junior college but now they are afforing bacholer degrees through their college. This is a great deal for students so they do not have to drive as far. It is easy to find your way around. They offer jobs to students who are interested. It is cheaper then going to the bigger university. —...

kstokell says "It was the best experience of my life!" about Murray State University

kstokell — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 02:53:19 GMT

Murray State was like a home away from home. They highly stressed customer service and treated students as people and not a number. The faculty was amazing and always searched for ways to enhance the student's experience. There is so much to do and ways to get involved. My only regret was not staying...

msa333 says "UC Irvine is very industrial looking and lacks diversity." about University of California-Irvine

msa333 — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 19:13:26 GMT

UC Irvine can make a great place for those who want to be somewhere in the middle of an academically rigorous environment and an academically mediocre environment. However, the campus itself is very industrial looking and not necessarily welcoming. The campus definitely lacks racial diversity, and it is an overall more conservative atmosphere. —...

lori9304 says "Expensive, great location, good programs, & co-ops!" about Northeastern University

lori9304 — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 03:49:13 GMT

Northeastern is known for a lot - For one, co-ops - you can work in your field for up to a year and a half prior to graduation. This really is a rare opportunity - you can get valuable experience in your field (and oftentimes get paid), or you can decide that, because of co-op, you don't like your major and you want to get out! — The school's also known for being pricey. Even with approximately half my tuition being paid for by scholarships and federal loans, I am taking out a great deal in private loans with hopes that graduating with so much experience under my belt from a good school will allow me to make a good salary upon graduation. — Some consider another downfall of the university to be all the "red tape." There are a lot of faculty at northeastern, and an even more staggering amount of students. So, sometimes you will get caught up in a lot of it. Housing can be difficult (and expensive) so I opted early on to live off the perfectly manicured campus....

purplegal says "I loved going to school there and made some lifetime friends." about College of William and Mary

purplegal — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 18:41:00 GMT

I am so glad I waited and then transferred to William and Mary. I had been accepted to a very large state university as a freshman, but I backed out and went to the local community college before transferring to W & M. It's an excellent education and the school is small enough that you feel at home but large enough that you are always meeting new people. — The classes are challenging sometimes, but it was well worth it to me! —...
