 " I am a graduate student, so my responses may be skewed. My courses typically do not check for attendance because they are higher-level grad courses. The living expenses based on a grad student stipend are really expensive (grad students are not compensated well). I tried to contact student support services many times for psychoneurological testing and they were only able to give me places to contact, nothing else. Other than that, the university is nice!

 " Had a great experience overall! The professors really care about their students and there are plenty of classes and extracurriculars that provide a holistic student experience. The vibe at the school is also very collaborative as opposed to cutthroat, which has aided the learning experience. I do wish that there were more specific concentrations for the majors I did as opposed to more general tracks but I guess that's undergrad — a higher level overview as opposed to a detailed dive. The dining is amazing, there was steak and delicious food most days, and the ambience was pretty social as well. "

 " As a grad student, I didn't really eat on campus. Additionally, my classes were small, so attendance was mandatory. One thing to think about as a full time grad student is that the fellowships and teaching opportunities offered did not provide enough income to live comfortably in the area. "

 " Good school with good people! I've had a good experience here and the engineering program generally cares about individual students and seeks to support them.  Most students are fairly nice and accepting if a bit *quirky* and the same goes for the professors. The dining options are pretty good and the dining workers and students have a good relationship. The engineering program is getting better and new facilities (makerspace, SEC) have been installed in the time I've been there. Professors in the program care a lot about engineering education and really care about supporting students. The program is also 50% female and provides a lot of opportunities to take other classes.

 " Had an incredible experience! The extracurricular activities were my favorite. The school was doing some interesting experimentation with classes, so they stay on the cutting-edge. My favorite part was campus life, so not sure what the experience will be online. "
