 " Great engineering department, not really the best place if you're BIPOC. Wealth gap is extremely apparent here. Dating scene isn't the best. Have to actively seek out spaces to insulate oneself from whiteness "

 " Lots of places to meet friends, study, and enjoy being outside on campus. Everyone has such creative/innovative academic interests and major/minor combinations. Medford is a great place to go to school - easily accessible to Boston by T and lots of places/cafes/stores to explore here as well. "

 " 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. "
