I
am a graduate student, to complete my degree this month.
I am an out of state student, and I
went to a prestigious Catholic university for my undergraduate degree
and graduated with honors. I received scholarships to all
programs I applied to, and attended Villanova due to personal
reasons, to be near my significant other. I have
regretted my decision ever since I got here. My
classes were a joke. They were not only not
challenging, but many of the professors were condescending and tended
to give final grades based solely on whether or not
they liked you. The program administration was terrible, and
many students were extremely unhappy with their experience. The
problem with transferring in graduate school is that most credits
do not transfer, and once you have applied for a
scholarship and turned it down (at another school), it is
unlikely that same school would offer you a scholarship if
you applied again. As a result, you pretty much
feel stuck once you get here and decide you don't
like it. I had a wonderful undergraduate experience, so
this experience was extra disappointing, considering how much I love
my alma mater. That said, from what I understand,
the undergrad experience at Nova is definitely a lot different,
so if you are thinking of attending for undergrad this
information may not be very helpful for you. Furthermore,
the politics within my program were unbelievable; it was like
high school all over again. Everyone was talking behind
everyone else's back. The full time professors and staff
treated the GAs like children; GAs were little more than
gophers and personal assistants. While every graduate program is
different, I would caution potential graduate students, especially those who
are not from the area, to really investigate their options
carefully. If you do not plan on staying in
the area, go with a school with greater name recognition
— it really does make a huge difference in your
job search.
