First impression
I want to go to university in the states, I live in europe. I found a school and it seemed perfect for me. It was my 1st choice of colleges! I got all exited and dove right in the application process. Now I have all the papers and i can send it...however, I'm not sure anymore. My friend gave me this website, www.studentsreview.com and there students give their honest opinions on their college or university. So I checked my school out that I was appliying for and people said it sucked! It was a shock, it seemed like such a great school. There where a few possitive reviews but the majority was negative... Should i still apply or should i take the reviews to consideration....???!?!?

Well, it all depends on your point of view. Many people have different views in their schools. Some hate it, some love it. It just depends on how involved they are or how determined. Dont remove off that school completely from your head. Apply, and if you can, visit it before you take any serious actions. Applying is nothing serious. It doesnt hurt to try to get in. Im going to apply for NYU just for the hell of it because that is my dream school. I doubt I can afford it though. BTW, what school is it?

There's nothing worse than going to a school which you won't be happy at. Some of my old school friends fell into that trap and they never got out, they wanted to go because they liked the sport there. But when i got in touch with them, they said that they hated it and it was the school of their first choice.
I'd really hate to see other people fall into that trap so here's what you should do. Go and visit other universites which are giving you the options that you want, go to ones near to you or far from where you live. Go to them, take your parents and get shown around. Look to see if the university has good standards and reviews, see what kind of grades are getting produced from the university and if they're consistent or improving!
There is nothing better than learning what you want to be in a place which makes you feel welcome, warm and the teaching is of high quality.
Good luck for the future. Make your decision wise.

Well, the people who give the honest truth about the quality of a school, it's teachers, and it's education are the students who go there.
There is no harm in shopping around for a university. If you are having second thoughts about what this school actually has to offer you, check out reviews on other schools to see if you can find one more suitable for your educational needs.
