  • I cannot express how wonderful an experience it was. Not only was it not stressful, it was fun! The students all seemed very easy to get along with. Department is very collaborative. Gorgeous building and campus. Grad students seem to lead a VERY high quality of life and still have time to enjoy themselves while getting a great education. The research is incredible, they seemed to have all the resources I could possibly need. I cannot express how great an experience it was.
