The University of Idaho

I have been to universities in metropolitan areas (Miami, Johannesburg, etc) and have never learned so much in such a short time. The courses actually teach you useable skills and understanding of theory. The staff is extremely friendly and the students are un-pretentious. After experiencing such a positive academic environment, I would not again knock a university just based on location and popularity. Politics are low, allowing grad students to complete their research requirements without delay. I've been able to TA on top of my RA for extra money, as well as attend several conferences (this required a bit of coercing however). If you are willing to be persistent, the dept. will help you get places. I would say that while the professors are not all the smartest aces, in my experience, their support and open-door policy goes a lot further.
