I have so many good things to say about HWS that I am not sure it could fit in a Yelp review!…read more Let me just list some of my favorite aspects of HWS: The people -- President Gearan is one of the smartest, civically minded, dedicated, and successful people you will ever meet. I think that he is one of the greatest assets of HWS along with his wonderful family. He and his family made my time at HWS so memorable. Also, the professors are fantastic. I graduated almost 3 yrs ago and continue to collaborate on research articles with one of my undergraduate mentors. The relationships you develop with the people at HWS can really last years, if not a lifetime. There are so many great people on campus it is hard to list them all -- but I want to give a shoutout to the Admissions staff and the Alumni House staff who are also fun and awesome! Woo. The campus -- The campus is beautiful and they do a good job of renovating and keeping it up-to-date for the most part. Also, you are on a 35 mile long lake in the middle of NY wine country! Yes, that means wine tasting, wine tours and wine class (.5 of a credit!). This is absolutely appropriate considering it is freezing and miserable 6 months out of the year so they need to make up for this in some way -- aka their proximity to vineyards and wineries. Also, you can basically navigate between any 2 points on campus in 20 minutes. The education -- My undergrad education absolutely prepared me for my post-college life and has set me up for a PhD program. Overall, the professors were knowledgeable, dedicated and fair. If you work hard and are intelligent, you will do well. I feel as if many of my professors had high standards that pushed me to always do my best. Basically, I love HWS and think that the opportunities overall are hard to parallel. The study abroad, community service and career development opportunities are all excellent and worth the ~$53,000/yr pricetag!

OK, time to review my alma mater. Kinda tough, given that I almost have to give it 5 stars…read more.. but this past summer, back for reunion, they did it up in style. gave us the freedom and flexibility to choose from a number of planned activities, or do nothing at all, and hang out on the quad until 3 a.m., even giving us unfettered access to the sound system, so we could blast 80's tunes on the sound system. Everything for reunion was done extremely well, which reflects the leadership of President Gearen and the culture of the school that hasn't changed signficantly since I left many years ago. Hell, even Professor Marvin Bram is still tooling around on his 1950's era bike. Great school, excellent faculty and students. Hidden gem. Thanks Bishop Hobart!!

My daughter and I both graduated from here in May 2016. I had an excellent experience as an…read moreAccounting major. They offer online classes, in person classes and hybrid classes which combine online and in person. This is a small campus with approximately 1000 students. You really get to know your classmates. Being old enough to be my classmates' mothers, I was a bit nervous at how I would fit in for group projects, etc. It was needless worry-I was made to feel like I was no different. Great, kind students that I stay in touch with! I attended college full time, mostly at night, while working full time. Sometimes I could not take a required course due to the time it was offered. Hilbert worked with me and my schedule to ensure I graduated on time. I can't say enough about the accounting department professors. There were some bumps in the road, like online professors using lectures they recorded 5-10 years prior. This happened with several professors, so they did not discuss current events, but referenced things that happened when most of the students were ages 10-12. The same online professors also did not update the links they provided in their PowerPoint presentations causing me much frustration. I expect more for the money I was paying to take each class. This is the main reason for not granting the fifth star. All in all, Hilbert provided me and my daughter with an excellent education and I highly recommend it.

If I could give this school a zero start I would! This school is not welcoming at all. I was there…read morefor a walk and happened to see that is was move out day. So I asked parents that were tossing things like fans and other things of use if I could have them. They were kind and let me take a few things before security came in, and made me leave. I have never been in trouble my entire life, and I was afraid they were going to press chargers, for as I was leaving a cop was coming into the school. I was not making any messes, I actually cleaned up a mess that had been made by students/family. Why won't you let people get things that can be used instead of it sitting in a dumpster. I didn't pull anything out of the dumpster, it was sat to were I could grab it if I wanted it.

Very racist and no diversity at all. I had a very disappointing experience with a girls' basketball…read moreteam and their behavior towards my daughter and her team. Not only were they openly disrespectful and racist, but the referee was also highly biased and unfair, failing to address the inappropriate actions on the court. This created an uncomfortable and hostile environment for my daughter and her teammates, who were just trying to play the game. It was disheartening to see such poor sportsmanship and a lack of accountability from both the opposing team and the referee. This experience has left a bad taste, and I hope future games promote fairness, respect, and true sportsmanship.

Constantly updating teaching, studying and eating spaces; lots of good quality food options and outdoor/ indoor study spaces. Parking as with all schools super expensive. Love that most professors focus on collaboration with projects , and class participation grades in order to get students actually talking and into the topic at hand. Professors try to think about students wallets when picking the books. Known for its experiential learning for business students where they get the opportunity to help a business with a problem as a class project for different classes. Love that the Student Union has power in coordinating the school to a certain extent. Recently a lot of corruption in the student union though. During online only COVID the experience I would rate 3/5. Now the hybrid model that some professors have implemented has been a great success, 5/5.

The research lab itself is filed with the most amazingly warm and helpful staff. Nurse S.E was super transparent. She explained every single thing that would be taking place including with who and how long it would take so I could plan my breaks and meals. The doctors are the best in neuromuscular diseases. I have a rare form of muscular dystrophy that they helped discovered and train the experts. This was a breath of air because they knew before I had to tell them and I didn't have to explain anything. They are the best of the best and this clinic was just top knotch. I wish I was closer so they could be the ones treating me full time but confident that they did an excellent job with the doctors I see now that trained here. Everything went as planned and finished exactly when anticipated. They are all amazing and this was a perfect visit.

This impressive university was a short drive from my Airbnb and I checked it out right before leaving town. Parking is a little tricky if you're not a student but I ilegally parked and got away with it. Shh . . . let's keep it a secret. From there, I went on foot to explore the heart of campus. While not a breathtaking campus, UR is nice. The heart of campus has some nice architecture and I walked into the library (shh . . .). After taking in the sights, I went back to my car and hit the road for Syracuse.

So today I decided to drive over to my apartment (I'm still in hotel because my furniture isn't…read morehere yet), and drive over to the university so I can get a feel for the route I'll be taking to work everyday. Surprisingly, this place didn't exist on Yelp yet. We are gonna have to change that. Get these young students Yelping lol. So I can't really speak about the University, as it was dead, nobody around, and I was driving and taking photos from my car like a creeper. But what I can say is: the photos don't do this place justice! It was absolutely gorgeous! Like something out of a fairytale book with its green trees and old brick buildings etc. It is a decent sized campus too, and I didn't even explore the entire thing! I'll be sure to add more photos as I start working there. But this place, for now anyways, in the summer, is gorgeous! I absolutely love it and it has a "charm" to it, that definitely worked on me. I'm excited to start working here. At least, during the summers anyways. My office will be in Alumni Hall, running the ROTC program. So come on by and say hi... and oh yea, join the Army. We'll take good care of you.
