One of the top ranked research universities in the nation located in the heart of Tucson, the University of Arizona is by far one of the best public universities out there today. With a diverse student body, over 40thousand students, it can get crowded and classes can reach large numbers so some students will have a harder time keeping up in class. Off to a rocky start but the University of Arizona enforces one of the best public educational programs in the nation.

U of A is well known for it's great athletic program, and it's strict policies and stiff hand when it comes to education, but it's just huge. With numbers of students increasing so do the complaints, and the main ones seem to be the same. Lack of faculty support, huge numbers and no one on one time for any classes and the surrounding city, it seems being located in the heart of Tucson is not enough, just remember to stay close to the campus, the city itself is not all it's cut out to be.

The campus is well kept, if U of A spends on anything it's keeping everything clean and in great shape. Students complain about the food there too, and the dorms, but really with such numbers these things are bound to be an issue. For a public university of it's size it's not the best out there, but it does the job if you're on a budget and want something in state.

Better known as simply one of the most respected Education Private Institutes, Tulane University comes highly recommended by almost everyone around, and they have a point. The education Quality at TU is reputed as one of the best, and if that was not enough to put this University in a league of its own, it's considered one of the friendliest Universities out there.

Few people have complained about tuition fees, but everyone seems to agree that TU is hard. hard being an understatement. Challenging is what some students expect, but when their program turns out to be incredibly hard, homework handed out in piles and course work as well as projects with crazy due dates, students have a tough time here. That may turn you off from attending TU but you have to realize, it's a tough University for a reason. Faculty members here are among the best in the country, and TU spares no expense to keep the students happy.

The campus is old, but very well maintained. Everyone is friendly and very helpful, if that was not enough the social life at Tulane University is reported to be amazing. So if you have $40,000 and you want one of the best education and experiances money can buy, the Tulane University is the place for you.

Without a doubt, The University of Chicago, incorporated in 1890 is one of the best in America, we all know that though. So what makes it better than the rest, and what drags it back from becoming the best, that's what everyone wants to know. We'll start off by saying that the Education quality at The University of Chicago is outstanding, making it a very competitive University. Students find the schoolwork very useful here, and with professional faculty and some of the friendliest professors students can't go wrong. It's numbers are not huge so classes are a great experience and students really get the most out of their learning experience.

Now, even though we really had a hard time pinning something on this university, we did find a few thorns in its bush. Having a social life is not easy here at the University of Chicago, mainly because of the sheer amount of work there is to get through! Another thing would be the price. Yes, it is not surprising for such a great University to be so expensive, almost an arm and a leg. Most students come off as being arrogant, but then again most come from wealthy families, so to an outsider it can be an intimidating factor, one that makes it hard to make friends.

For about $35,000 (roughly $12,000 a quarter) you get one of the best educations money can buy, sounds great doesn’t it? But remember this is not an easy school to attend, on the contrary it is one of the most challenging Universities in America.

Duke University has excellent academics, there is no doubt about that at all. The DU campus is a beautiful historic one, and also well maintained. Some may go as far as saying Duke University is one of the most prestigious and challenging schools in the world. This all sounds great, but there are always two sides to the coin.

Duke University is located in Durhan, North Carolina which is knows for it's high crime rates, one of the highest in the state. Students did not complain much, but it was hinted that the majority were uptight, and somewhat a generally egoistic student body, which isn't always a bad thing though. It is expensive for instate students but some would say, you get what you pay for. The education quality is of the highest caliber and DU has some brilliant professors, a split liberal-conservative campus (which is often difficult to find these days), and a great atmosphere as a whole there.

This is a fine academic institution, expensive but for the level of education students get, it is worth every penny. Whatever program you end up enrolling in at Duke will prove a challenge, nothing is easy there, and the students are all very competitive as well as being on the snobbish side somewhat, so you will have to work hard to earn your grade, and social spot. Overall Duke is one of our most respected Universities!

Founded in 1876 OSU is located in the wonderful town of Corvallis, Oregon. Now, Oregon State University is one of a kind, in that it is extremely friendly, more so that most universities we have reviewed. Student body there is among the most open minded, approachable level headed in the country, not to mention the faculty is up there with the best.

The campus itself is not that well maintained, a shame really because almost everything about this University is a delight. It is said that the Engineering program is the most popular one there but the sciences also hold their own. Study hard though because the professors at OSU do not kid around! Classes are small in size and the faculty are always there to help though making things that much simpler for students!

Besides that, there is not much else to it, OSU is affordable, clean, a little out dated but somewhat maintained. The students get a great education in a great environment, taught by professional instructors and professors. We're happy to say that for a state university such as OU it ranks as one of the best. Things change in time as does Oregon State University, and in this case, for the better!

A very friendly, very helpful Educational Institution. Louisiana College has one of the most accessible faculties we have ever come across. The quality of education at this rather small school is amazing and the Campus alone speaks for itself, it's very well kept and also well maintained!

However, there are always two sides to the coin. The surrounding city at Louisiana College is not favored at all by the students, actually, that's another thing, the social life at the school is rather dead. This however is not a bad thing for many people, remember, this is a religious school and things like dancing are considered sinful, but there are many other fun activities and classes to take so don't worry too much. Some would say that a portion of the student body is somewhat closed minded, and that it's not a school for all.

We think the students for the most part are very friendly and approachable, faculty there are also very friendly, all of whom speak great English too which is good to see. Schools we have come across in the past have had a rate as high as 40% of the faculty that did not speak satisfactory English, Louisiana College is well bellow 6% which is brilliant! It's a private, affordable solution, but not for those that plan to party all the time. Then again, think about it, who goes to college to just party? Thumbs up to Louisiana College!

With just under 21 thousand undergraduate students, situated in a nice urban setting, New York University seems like an ideal candidate for anyones new school. NYU is one of the best universities in the country, ranked as one of the top 40 Universities, but enrolling in a university such as NYU does not come without a price. You will be looking at paying around $35,000 in tuition and fees which by any Universities standards is not cheap.

Students were happy however with the $11,000 (approx) fee for room and board, which is very reasonable. Now the good part, although the faculty's teaching quality was not up to par with the likes of Princeton or Colombia, they are capable and professional. The Education quality is beyond dispute and students seem to get along with professors and faculty alike. Rumors have it that most students their are stuck, but coming from just a couple of students, this assumption can be safely ignored.

Students had pretty much the same thing to say about NYU, it's fun, hard at times as the work load only increases as the year progresses, and most importantly the quality of education was high. They were happy that professors got through to them, real explained the material and not just give them paper work and solo projects.

The school facilities are not huge in number, but they are of the highest caliber. This is truly a University that cares about it's students, as it is always trying to look for ways to make everyones learning experience, a valuable and memorable one. Simply one thing left to say, NYU is, one of the best Universities in America.

At U of H learning does not come without a price. Be is the high annual fees or the price students have to pay to attend a public institution. At The University or Houston all the professors are well-educated in their fields, but some students complain about how unreachable these professors are, others complain they are closed minded, who's to say, at least they dub them as professionals educators.

Up side is UH has a great campus to boast, it is well kept and a great deal of care is taken to insure the safety of its students. Academically UH has some of the best programs around, no one can take that away from them, and their engineering program is at the top of the education chain. Students majoring in engineering of any sort almost definitely get offered internship by the end of their stay at UH, that has got to tell you something about the level of education there.

The verdict; The University of Houston's campus is a well built one and the buildings are conveniently distanced from the student dorms making it easy to get around. The faculty there know everything there is to know about offering the students a great education and an experience to remember, as long as the students are willing to work hard and achieve their goals. If you're looking for a school and your soul interest is having fun, socializing and meeting lots of new people, UH is not for you, as the work load at UH can get exceedingly large, falling behind is not an option. UH is an above average University with a good learning base structure, helpful professors and value for your money, if you plan to study hard that is!
