Princeton gives undergrad and graduate guideline in the humanities, sociologies, sciences, and engineering. It also offers professional online degrees.
The University has graduated numerous Nobel laureates and many known personalities for example two U.S. Presidents.

There is many reasons to choose this school, one of which being this uni is quite affortable for its quality. Princeton is a great school but what really make it special in comparison to other colleges is their great financial aid package.
Every building has such amazing character. Even the newer building are stylized. Those buildings are found a short walk away from the main part of campus. The carvings, and attention to detail on the older buildings is amazing. It's sad that that kind of artistry is only rarely applied in this day and age. All of the carved animals, people, and shapes are beautiful.

The professors are definitely experts in their field. They are enthusiastic about what they teach and give honest feedback. Grading at Princeton is notoriously "strict" when compared to other Ivies but that's just what comes with attending this school. It can be pretty stressful at times but student organizations seem to be making an effort to make it more manageable. There are several classes one can take and although Princeton doesn't offer majors in things like Theater or African American Studies, one can get certificates in these fields. Many people study in Firestone or the work spaces of their individual res colleges.

However, there are things that Princeton should work on: like economic diversity (or at the least, addressing it) and spiffing up cultural understanding amongs the student body. Also the social life or greek life is almost non existent there.

Overall it is pretty good uni, it has some drawbacks but these are not that important.

Pros
Great online criminal justice degree, it is not as expensive as other top universities, professors are great at teaching and very helpful.

Cons
Poor social life, low economic diversity, only few online courses to choose from.

York has spearheaded a few PhD programs in Canada, and its psychology program is the largest in North America.

It's a lovely university with lovely people and it's also campus so there is a sense of community, but unfortunately it's not too far from the city which is a treasure because of its historical buildings, and the fact that everything is available there, the tea rooms and cafes, the pubs and bars.
Also, the facilities are not that good, housing at this university is hard to get in to if you are not a first year student, but once you get in and get to know the people its all good.

Quite a few professors also show zero passion for teaching. They will present 3 hour lectures with no more than a typewritten paragraph of text on the overhead projector. They will leave in the middle of student presentations, and have TA's mark instead.

Pros
Good economic education programs, friendly students, collaboration with NASA.

Cons
Boring lectures, lack of security, poor teaching quality, situated on the edge of Toronto, some professors cant speak english.

Building looks fantastic inside and outside, especially libraries.
The registration system makes it difficult to get into classes so you can graduate on time. There are few resources on campus outside of the classroom to learn so you're going to be teaching most of the material to yourself. Some classes are super competitive which makes students rude and uncooperative with each other. 
There is always something to do, either on campus around the great city of Austin. Granted the classes are very difficult, but they are also very rewarding. Professors are nice and friendly, they all want to see the students succeed, so it creates a great learning environment.

Pros
Friendly and qualified professors, high education level, this college has in offer many useful student services.

Cons
Inconvenient registration system, unfair grades - when you get along with lecturers you can get better marks,

La Sapienza taught various notable personalities, including numerous Nobel laureates, presidents of the European Parliament, leaders of a few countries and important researchers and even astronauts.

Living in Rome is very expensive and it is hard to find a nice room/appartment for less then 500 EUR. Food in the other hand, is quite affordable. However, Rome is such an beautiful and great city to live in, and studying there is really good opportunity to be a part of this society and fully enjoy the beauty of Rome.

In this uni, students are always helpful and friendly. You can meet alot of new friends and you will become more open minded, interested in the world, and it will give you courage and self confidence.
However, the education in this university is a big chaos and teachers don't really care if you go to classes or not, you have to do almost everything yourself. Introduct yourself, discuss about the exams proceedings etc. which is a big let down.

Pros
The best university in Italy, it offers some of the best graduate degrees for job, helpful and friendly students.

Cons
Very expensive living costs - especially the cost of appartments or rooms, you are on your own when it comes to education and learning, dont expect much help from professors.

If you live in state, there are so many opportunities for scholarships, it's basically a free ride if you can get into one of them. After that, it's like any other university - have to shift through the good and bad professors through word of mouth. Education degrees are however worth more then they should.
ASU is kind of known as the party school, but the business school is pretty strong here. Given the price you're paying as a resident, ASU is not a bad choice for furthering your education.

Pros

Cool looking inside and outside, alot of parties and social live.

Cons

Very high costs, they can sue you to pay even more for no reason, low quality education, cost of housing is extremely high, professors are very unlikeable.

Milan is a great city, with great people and a lot of things to do. Howeverm Milan is one of the most expensive european cities. The student residence and services are good. The public transports are a great option to travel around the city because of its low prices.

Good advice for future students is to take this university seriously from the very beginning because this is the best way to succeed in a difficult field such as physics and in a challenging (and tough) environment such as that of University of Milan.

Pros
One of the best universities in italy, good worldwide recognitions, it is the only italian university that belongs to LERU group.

The University of Economics in Katowice is a fantastically organized school of economics, and the Erasmus program is highly developed with lots of international students. They have a large number of events for international students and pay attention to the finer details of integrating international students into everyday local life. I was pleasantly surprised while studying there.

Pros
Its very easy to pass exams as most teachers just give the same set of tests over and over in each of your resits, good quality erasmus programs and other events.

Very low teaching level, you can do nothing whole semester not even participate in lectures (which are very boring) and still pass with A mark.

The college is sorted out into seven resources: Humanities, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Dentistry, Economics and Business, Law, Medicine, and Science.

The housing at the UvA is in particular arranged for Master students. Most of them get a quite nice (and expensive) room. But there also are less nice and equally expensive accomodations, but in the end, the quality of the housing depends on the people you live with.
There is a lot of activities to do: parties for international students in the university, parties in private house, cruises on the canals, museums discounts, nice famous brown cafès and much more. The people there are fantastic - friendly and open minded.

Pros
Relaxed work atmosphere, lots of benefits (considered an civil servant position), possible to work with lots of different people, opportunities to grow within the University if not possible in your department.

Cons
Every change takes a lot of time, bureaucracy, when standards are implemented, the out-of-the-box people/dept/scenarios not usually considered.

The University of Edinburgh established in 1582, is the 6th most seasoned college in United Kingdom and one of Scotland's oldest colleges. The university is profoundly implanted in the fabric of the city, with a hefty portion of the structures in the memorable Old Town belonging to the university.
The college played a critical part in driving Edinburgh to its reputation as a chef intelectual centre at the Age of Enlightenment, and helped give the city the name of the Athens of the North.

Edinburgh gets more or less 47k applications consistently, making it the third most well known college in the UK by volume of applicants. However Edinburgh University remains to be one of the hardest universities to get into in the country and as such will always be respected by employers as long as this fact remains true. The university has a wide range of courses from medicine, veterinary science, engineering to all the traditional arts degrees.

A key issue of complaint about the university is that there seems to be a lack of support from university staff. This can be a good thing, as it means you need to get some initiative and work things out for yourself, but it can be detrimental if you feel a bit clueless. What's really important is that the university gives you a well rounded education.
The university has many great facilities, but what makes it such a great university is the city and the many thousands of students.

Pros

High education level and prestige, wide range of courses, alot of students and different people to meet, top university not just in Scotland but in whole UK.

Cons
Lack of support from university staff, very difficult to get your application accepted, it has some very ugly buildings.

In each of these departments, the activities of teaching and research are closely interlinked. The initial task of the Ecole, to form the teachers and professors of the future, remains its fundamental vocation; but this has significantly widened in recent times, and pupils now go on to a wide range of future careers.

Pros

The University has about 35000 local students. Additionally, there are about 3500 international students every semester. The administration really cares about you and you come to know to many people from all parts of this world - not only at university, but also in town. It's a multi-culti population.

The course is on average 20 hours a week. You'll usually get at least one full day off, but a lot of the work is off campus work (readings, assignments etc). The Education side of the course is constantly changing. The lecturers/tutors in both faculties are excellent, and knowledgable in their area. Support is great if you seek it. Definately value for money, especially if you are doing history courses, they are top notch.

Campus life at Sydney is fantastic if you get involved. Heaps of places to socialise and eat in campus, and it's close to Broadway and Newtown. Libraries are excellent especially. Once you get used to the system, it's pretty easy. As daggy as it sounds, take a library tour straight away or you won't get it. Sydney is awesome for that mix of the social and academic.

This university is very close to the shops and close to the city - good location. Easily accessible by public transport (train and bus). Uni facilities were ok. Better in the newer buildings. Accomodation on campus appeared to be a bit expensive. It was cheaper to rent off campus and it is possible to find part time work.

Pros

Excellent lecturers and tutors, this uni is situated in very good area, easily accessible transport, alot of courses to offer.

Cons

Expensive, confusing library system, you need to put alot of time learning in home, the building looks like a prison.

It works a few expressions, social, and logical galleries, close by the Harvard Library, which is the world's biggest scholarly and private library framework, embodying 79 individual libraries with more than 18 million volumes.

The campus is gorgeous, there are colorful chairs for students and visitors to sit on. There is beautiful church/chapel nearby. The grass is nicely manicured, there are usually tours given by Harvard students to what looks like parents of to-be students or tourists. I haven't had too much interaction with the students.

Pros
According to most people it is the best university in the world. Highest level of education, you can be sure about finding job after finishing this unviersity, you can meet some of the greatest and famous scientists and even have them teach you.

Whether you're going for an education or to make some fun, The University of Auckland is excellent. The lifestyle of this university is very different to other campuses, because it's not really a campus. There are so many people here it can seem quite daunting, but it also makes it very easy to keep to yourself, if that's what you want to do. There is many really excellent lecturers but there are some you would rather want to avoid.
The distance between classes can be frustrating. Sometimes it can feel like going from one side of the city to the other. The quad back is always filled with people and things going on; there were always markets, rallies, performances, the works. The Thursday Markets are great and you will probably spend lots of money on records and little badges, trying to be cool.

Pros
Auckland university is NZ's top university and it is a great place to work if you are interested in academic research. There are a lot of resources available and many knowledgeable professors to learn from.

Cons
The fragmentation between different buildings can be quite annoying. Walking from the Engineering building to the Business building requires crossing heavy traffic etc; Parking is expensive and Auckland's public transport system can make the commute to University quite tedious.

The lake is a nice and huge, situated in the middle of the campus with some traditional Chinese buildings around. It is very peaceful because of traffic restrictions inside the campus, which is a respite from the chaos on the streets. It's not in the very centre of the city, but very prestigious and famous, not only in China but worldwide. There is so much non-chinese students. Very interesting place to see.

The Chinese language course is phenomenal, most prestigious university in china, very good quality of education especially science, more foreign students then you think.
