I am a Chinese student in the college, it's a great college at a comparable lower cost. All my teachers have been really helpful.

It's a decent community college. I've had some great professors here, but the administration can be very difficult to deal with. The dining options on campus really aren't good. Classes are also considerably easier than you would encounter at a university, so be aware of that if you're planning on transferring. I've always loved MPC's compact campus (unlike CSUMB's campus), but the older buildings look a bit run down and the bathrooms are dirty. However, I have confidence that once MPC renovates them, they will look great! The library is amazing! Not only does it look great, but it has really comfortable chairs and a whole quiet floor, for those of us that prefer to study with minimal noise.

I think this school is absolutely beautiful! I spent a few hours there and that's all it took to fall in love with the campus! My Dad and I were a little lost at first, and when people realized it-they immediately came over to help us find our way! I am about to graduate from Florida Southern College next Spring and it would be a dream come true to apply & be accepted at this fine institution!
They have SO much to offer here! Fingers crossed all the way from Florida!

Great school so far... What has really set it apart for me is the fact that the faculty and staff legitimately care about your well-being. I had a few difficulties adjusting, but I had so many people who extended a hand to help pull me through a tough transition. If you're looking for a college that will not only teach you but also support you, BC is the place for you.

Just attended the 3 day orientation for our daughter, class of 2019. Could not be more impressed with the facilities, programs, and staff. No one was "phoning it in." True enthusiasm was evident in everyone's eyes, from the cafeteria servers on up. We're absolutely thrilled that Miranda's undergrad experience can be at BC.

You can't ask for a better education of the whole person - the students and faculty at BC are truly men and women for others. Go Eagles! AMDG

I'm just back from a beautiful twilight campus tour! Two thumbs up! ...Five star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐! I love my school.

I loved everything about my BC experience (1995-99). Now, as a guidance counselor, I'm always thrilled to help my students discover BC for the first time.

Boston College is an elite academic institution with a rich history. BC not only has the oldest college fight song, but it is known for establishing the typology for collegiate gothic towers. BC also has one of the most beautiful campuses in the country. From an academic, athletics, and arts standpoint, BC provides one of the very best college experiences in the country. Boston College has made incredible strides and is poised to soar even higher. I encourage anyone to visit the Heights! GO EAGLES!!!

REF是由英国政府组织评估的,主要是对英国公立高等教育机构研究质量和影响力的一种评估,英国政府借以制定接下来的数年里分配给各个高校的研究预算。其评估方法主要包括对教师科研质量及产出的评估,共分36个专业领域。某学校在某领域的科研质量越好、产出越大,获得的政府拨款数额也就越大。其研究质量系通过成果质量(The quality of research outputs)、影响力(The impact of research beyond academia)、研究环境(The research environment)三个指标来衡量,打分1到4分,分数越高,质量越好;研究产出,则主要是以教师发表的论文、出版的著作、专利等来衡量的,按全职教师来折算,兼职教师则按时间比例折算为全职教师。

韦恩州立大学在2015USNEWS美国综合性大学排名中并不显眼,排在了200名以后,但在USNEWS的世界大学排名中,却排在了美国第95位,尚在维克森林大学、波士顿学院、乔治华盛顿大学等许多著名私立学校之前。同时韦恩州立大学也是美国109所进入2015年泰晤士高等教育世界大学排名前400强的学校之一。

佐治亚理工学院:工程大牛了,商学院说实话一般。里面都是学霸,学习肯定没啥问题。最值得注意的是,我同学感叹的一句话:“进了学校,全是黄的,出了学校,全是黑的。”不得不考虑一下是不是学校里面中国人太多了,可能违背了出国留学的初衷,对语言能力有影响。学校周边是亚特兰大市,都是非洲裔美国人,治安也许不会很好。
