"Pros: I'm in a health only building in Dallas with like minded people and great faculty. Cons: it's a satellite campus so there isn't much surrounding the building"

"Although the Houston campus of TWU is a commuter campus, it provides the students with most of the necessities and affordances of a university. The Student Life program on campus regularly holds social events and gatherings to help promote a sense of community--a "home away from home". The facilities are state-of-the-art, very clean (the custodial staff does a GREAT job at maintaining the appearance and cleanliness of the campus building), and close to many of the places to see in Houston. The faculty is great and their doors are always open--at least the Physical Therapy professors at the Houston campus. The tuition is VERY reasonable and very happy about their cost as compared to other universities I could have attended. The DPT program is also one of the best in the nation with one of the most difficult curricula to create the best entry-level PTs out there. The school of PT also has very close relationships with many of the institutions and hospitals in the Texas Medical Center and Houston. However, some of the cons of TWU would have to be there is no cafeteria on campus, the lack of adequate study rooms and space, the hours of operation of the campus, and parking. There is a pretty small "cafe" on the first floor that basically acts like a 7-11, but it doesn't really provide a real meal. Students would have to purchase their meals around the TMC, or bring their own food and store them at one of the fridges on the 3rd, 6th, or 8th floors. There are only 4 study rooms that serve the whole campus, and students are always looking for a place to study. The "library" is the size of my apartment, but the technological and online resources, and the Denton library make up for it. The parking is $80 per month, which is a big deal for grad students, or any student for that matter. There are other choices, but they are either inconvenient or not worth the price. Overall, the Houston campus is a great place to go to school with great resources for students and faculty alike."

"The graduate program is very affordable compared to other graduate programs, supportive staff, and a good relationship with your professors is key, especially when it comes to getting on research teams and networking at professional conferences. On the other hand, it is quite competitive to get in. The faculty can only select a few people in the program. Depending on the department, some of them do not look at GRE scores! However, I do wish there was more scholarships and grants for graduate students. It seem like there is only a lot of aid for undergraduates. The workload depends on a few variables such as how many hours you take, how the professor is, whether or not you are working, extra-curricular activities you want to be involved in, etc. Overall, I give this program a 8.25 out of 10!"

"Pros: Awesome education with a well respected reputation. Class size for Occupational Therapy is small (45) and it is easy and comfortable to talk with the professors. Cons: The schedule is set for you - always during daytime hours. Difficult to work more than 20 hours a week but possible to work 40h. No online classes."

"I think that Texas Woman's University is a great place to get your higher degrees. Most of the graduate programs here are very competitive and offer a challenge that other programs in the area do not."

"I am more than half way through the MBA program at this time. I have thoroughly enjoyed it so far and will finish next year. The best thing is the flexibility of the class schedules that allow you to work around your personal schedule easily. Also the faculty is great and very supportive."

  • Degree: Education
"Pros: The faculty offer superior academic and professional development opportunities. The coursework required for the graduate degree is tied to a vision for the field itself (rather than cycling through tired theoretical debates and skill development). I feel prepared for teaching and research in higher education because the coursework and faculty vision are on bar with the diversity of thought in the field rather than a particular theoretical orientation. Cons: Graduate student funding is limited and not guaranteed, especially if you plan to teach over the summer."
