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!!

The research lab was amazing. There's a cafe in the front with basics but cooked deliciously and…read morequick. I was able to get breakfast before my appointment. 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.

Whenever I travel to a new city, it's become a tradition to stop by a college campus in the area. I…read morespent two days in Rochester so the University of Rochester it was. 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.

Yes, the food could be a little better, but the education is next to none. The campus is continually growing and changing- and in the late spring to early fall is absolutely beautiful! But those horrid frigid winter months are brutal because the college is basically just not set up for students to access buildings easily without freezing their pants off. I highly recommend the education as Brockport is ranked in the top 100 schools in New York, but be Prepared... those professors (although very interested in helping you learn) are tough and you do have to work hard for your grades. But over all- what an amazing experience. I've truly grown into a better person through my classes and the professors and staff here. They will help you figure out what you want to do and what your good at... and because of Brockport, my future is bright again! Hope this helps ... :)

This university is RIT large into folklore. I'm surprised I haven't RITten about it before. I need…read moreto RIT myself of all my feelings about this place and this review is how I shall do that. So RIT on if you're interested. Is that alRIT with you? I'm not crazy about the police (and they usually follow me around campus if I'm visiting a girl on campus at 3am, which by the way I did a couple of times but let's keep that between you and me and not put it all over Yelp or anything), and I'm really not crazy about the prices! I looked into coming here a long time ago and even back then the tuition was insane. I come here to eat, drink, and be merry with aforementioned girl sometimes, and all of the stuff on campus is overpriced and annoying, much more expensive than at UB North in Buffalo, which also - it has to be said - has better options, too. It's a beautiful and very safe, leafy, suburban campus, though. Cars aren't allowed on the majority of it which makes it safe and peaceful and quiet. It's got some great sculptures and a lot of pretty smart people. Not a lot of attractive people (unless you're into geeks), but I do know at least one ridiculously attractive girl that goes here, and that's the only reason I've really ever spent any time on campus. If you go here, take a trip to Cha Chat Cafe for some Brown Sugar Milk Tea, and to Bombay Chaat House for some kebabs. Also give Schaller's Ground Round a try, Sodam for some Yuk Gae Jang, and Tsingtao for some real Chinese food.

What makes one's college education unique and meaningful is the experience one has in the city/town and on the campus they choose. The athletics program is truly a family.

Very happy my son chose SJF and grateful for the experience the community has offered him thus far.

Spectator view is somewhat limited for events on the far side of the building, but their is plenty of open space for watching everything else. There is a small kitchen that offers a typical menu for sporting events - hotdogs, nachos, popcorn, soda, fruit, etc. The campus itself is a sight as well, with different complexes built on the hillside. The grounds are clean and well-kept. It is off the beaten-path, so to speak. Expect the drive there and back to be an adventure.

Sunny Geneseo is the place where racism grew in the United States. I went there for a job…read moreinterview. I didn't see any color other than white. After they interviewed me online, they seemed impressed with my experience and called me for an in-person interview. I drove for about 40 minutes and arrived a campus. The interview took about three hours. It seemed a perfect interview for me and I expected to get an offer. After a week, someone emailed me and said "Sorry, we moved forward with someone.". I accepted that was because they got a white person and kicked me out. If they hired a black person in that position, I believe might be a mistake. But, I see diversity was dead in this workplace. I was not upset with the job offer; but with my wasted time.

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.
