Yeshiva University Reviews

"Okay so first of all of you are a minority meaning Latino, Black, or Asian etc do not come to this school! They only cater to their own kind of people which is Jewish. They treat minority students like we don’t matter and they do not care about the complaints that you give whether it’s about class or your internship. When it comes to academics unless you’re lucky to get a professor that actually is really good, you are on your own learning and teaching yourself. They do not give you any financial help or scholarships unless you’re Jewish and you’re technically on your own financially. I do not advise anyone that is a minority to come to this school. Stay far away and please consider other schools !!Read Less"

"This social work program has what pretty much amounts to open admissions. Students were unprepared. Not worth the price tag. I attended against my better judgement because I wanted to go back to school. Classes were full of MSW students and people who didnt work."

"I am a professional social worker in NYC and have been practicing a few years. I have been interested in earning a doctoral degree since I was an MSW student. I submitted an online inquiry and received a phone call from one of Yeshivas professors/administrators in December 2017. I applied and was able to start courses January 2018. I immediately noticed that out of the students in my 2 classes, most were MSW students- current MSW students. Im sure these students were well intentioned but I had always heard that I should have at least 3 years of post MSW experience to even think about applying to a PhD program, and now I know why. Those students were unprepared and annoying. Then, there were several students who were not social workers in my cohort. There was a chemistry teacher, two journalists. Out of the remaining social workers most were unlicensed or not practicing at all. In short the students were not a very high quality. On top of this I found the professors cocky and terrible. On top of this I was supposed to pay $7000 for 4 credits-2 2 credit classes. No way. This school is admitting anyone and everyone and making money if off them. Be warned.Read Less"

"The Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law is a great school! I loved almost all of my professors, and friends who transferred to "better" schools (NYU, Northwestern) told me that the quality of instruction they received went way down, as their professors were primarily hired for writing and not for teaching. Cardozo has a great selection of journals for students to be on. As a final note, the location is really just amazing -- Greenwich Village is just such a great place to be, not only for networking purposes, but for the nearby parks and variety of life experiences available to you. Seriously, walk to the comedy cellar after class, and you might see a few legends perform.Read Less"

"It was great. Supportive, collaborative, with great faculty who are invested in your education. It is a great combination of intensive yet normal and laid back."

"Good biomedical program with a good reputation. Distinguished faculty."

"One of the best things WSSW has to offer is their helpful, experienced, and well-connected faculty. Every professor I have encountered has been passionate about social work, social justice, and educating the future of the profession. They are all filled with endless knowledge and experience and are enthused at any opportunity to impart that knowledge to their students. Their guidance has helped me navigate educational and career opportunities in more ways than I can ever express."

"Yeshiva University is a great school because of its vast network in New York City. It has alumni in many different areas of business, medicine and non-profit all around the world. My experience was additionally enhanced by the quality of the professors. A majority of professors are experts in their fields who shared their real world experience with the students."

"Excellent, reliable and very good system of education"

"The Wurzweiler School of Social Work's block program is very intense but very rewarding. Being able to complete all of your courses in less time is definitely an advantage; especially while learning valuable and useful lessons in the field of Social Work."

"It was nice going to a top ranked university. It wasn't cheap and it will be a journey to it back this debt but I think that it was worth it and I would do it again the same way if I had to."

"Ferkauf has it's good and bad like any graduate program. It is quite expensive considering many Clinical phD programs in the area support their graduate students. However, the mentorship is great and the school is very invested in it's students matching at APA internships. It is working hard to become a better school with more possibilities"

"My program pushes has a dual curriculum. Meaning I spent everyday four days a week from 9-645, and later on lab days, in a classroom. It was super competitive and I really did not enjoy it."

"I find only some of the professors at Yeshiva to be available for students to contact via email for questions. I find people in the financial office never respond to emails and many people in administrative roles are very rude while speaking with students. I have really enjoyed getting to know my classmates and have had a couple of professors who i greatly admire and plan on keeping in touch with over the years."

"Pros: good location, friendly people, good academic work Cons: professors' ability to meet is limited, busy staff"

"The biggest pro is the quality of the education. The con is the commute. Anything nice and near the school is expensive. The long commute is worth saving money on rent and you can read on the subways."

"I really enjoy my graduaet school program. I feel that for the most part the philosophy of Azrieli is congruent throughout the staff and yet I do not feel limited in utilizing creativity as a teacher. I find that the program is structured and geared to giving a more hands means to efficienty master and teach a classroom."

"The pros are the professors really want the class to do well. Therefore they give us alot of resources and study guides. Also the school knows how to really pick awesome students. The entire class is very friendly. Cons is that since its a Jewish school, the food is kosher and doesnt have a great taste. The dorms are like apartments and are really affordable. It is near alot of food places (restaurants and grocery stores)."

"The faculty and physicians definitely go above and beyond to reach out to students and ensure that they are accessible to students. The school could benefit from a greater integration of technology in the classroom."

"Overall a great medical program. Biggest con is being located in the Bronx with no easy access to subway stations."
