Palo Alto clinical rigour
Great university for postgraduate education, especially if you're pursuing a career in clinical psychology. It's a small institution, but the education standards are rigorous and the teaching quality is excellent. The program does a great job of preparing students for clinical work. However, the campus lacks food options, and there are very few student clubs or extracurricular activities available.
Overall good
I wouldn't say I love my school, but it's good overall. The campus is nice, and the other students are great. I'm not a big fan of the faculty and staff, though. The food options are really good, but I don't use a lot of the on-campus facilities that much.
Good classes, not the best campus life
I think the professors I had were amazing and ready to help me with anything whenever I needed it. I particularly liked my marketing classes the most. The campus life however, is a bit boring. It is an engineering school so keep that in mind, but most people are introverted and keep to themselves. However, college is what you make it so if you want to make friends you can, it was just a little difficult for me. I recommend getting an on campus job to meet students!
