This gets pricey after a while, especially during spring break! There is a Dennys, Starbucks, McDonalds, CVS and TGI Fridays within walking distance of the school, but other than that, you need to Uber or have a car in the area to get around. While the party scene is fun, there is not much to do in the local area around campus. A+ response Washu!įreshman: I have loved my time at UMiami so far! There is a great party scene here if that is what you are interested in, but if you're not, you will fit in here as well. The faculty and admin prioritized their health first, while the coursework has remained rigorous. Once the pandemic hit, WashU was amongst the first half dozen schools to move online (they are now hybrid, my daughter is working from home).
It was tough, but the support of programs like Deneb Stars and the many other programs (including late night escorts for safety) allowed her to make the leap and find her feet.
My daughter is gifted, but shy shy shy, and her mother is Brazilian, so VERY attached and we worried about sending her away. She had met and spoken with several faculty members before applying (Early Decision) and visited the campus, and they were so helpful and supportive it really allowed us to make a confident Early Decision. First of all she got a full ride, they removed a massive strain off of our family and did it completely and thoroughly. Sophomore: As a parent of a sophmore in Visual Arts and Writing programs, I feel so grateful she got in. It didn't hurt that the school is in Manhattan, and in my favorite part! Also, the research materials were endless.
They were all working and teaching, so it was the best of both worlds. Even though it was only an elective class, I found it fascinating and the professor, who was visiting from England, was very engaging and enjoyed his work. We saw rings of Saturn, Jupiters moons, storms on Jupiter, star clusters, and more. There's a telescope on campus and I'll never forget our class meeting at 9pm one night to view the planets and see what astronomers actually did. The work load was definitely heavy, but I learned more there than anywhere else I have been since then. They always challenged me to be open to possibilities and to figure things out from all angles. Alum: Attending Columbia University was a fantastic experience for me.
