Cornell University Reviews of Master's in Engineering

"I know I'll be pushing my kids to goto Cornell. Enough said. But for more details: One of the best engineering programs in the country (or world). Fantastic alumni connections. People know you are a serious candidate for employment. A huge variety of opportunities are presented to you at Cornell. Make the most of it!"

"Loved my college- beautiful campus and wonderful staff"

"It is a big place. It can be overwhelming, and is sometimes. There are many resources here."

"Cornell has a beautiful campus with very nice facilities. The teachers and students are intelligent and motivated. It is very expensive."

"Fantastic professors who are almost all very available to students. Course material is challenging and workloads are heavy, which means students need to work very hard to get through the program, but by the end they will have truly mastered their chosen fields. Broad selection of courses allows students to sub-specialize in almost anythings they want. Ithaca itself is a fantastic place to be a graduate student. The Cornell community is very welcoming and supportive, and campus always feels safe. Rent is higher than some college towns, but not absurdly so. Quality of restaurants and shops in the area is also high. Biggest complaints are probably lack of financial support for graduate engineering degrees. However, most students would probably agree that the investment is worth it."

"My graduate school program is very competent. I have a very caring advisor who meets with me weekly to discuss my project. Everyone in charge of graduate school has offered me support and I feel it is a well rounded education. The workload is high, but it comes because of the courses and the research together."

"Great place for grad school. Beautiful campus. Amazing peers and social life. The snow and harsh winters are a bit of a problem, but one gets used to it. Bump up the campus safety and we will be on top!"
