Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Engineering Department  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Not so bright I am a first year biomedical engineer. The coursework is tough and I do have to work at it. Most of my professors are good. My required freshmen seminar program (an english class) is horribly boring. The teacher is nice, it's just that I'm not too into the topic at hand. On to dorm life.. The building is kind of old and gross. There is a leak in my ceiling that is still not fixed from 2 weeks ago. I'm kind of hoping they get on that before it rains. I moved my bed and all my things out of the way but it would be nice. I'm not really that into dorm life (I'd prefer living at home) but I guess I just have to get used to it. I think the food is good. Lots of choices. I feel that campus is pretty safe, even though there was a shooting last weekend. It was at 2am and didn't even involve anyone from the school. If you are a partier, there is always somewhere to go. All the parties are off campus and you wait in the parking garage to wait for a ride to go to the frat house. The parties are easy to get in to although you have to pay $5 to get it. The library is gorgeous. I spend a lot of time there. Love it. Go visit. Education Quality: A+, Faculty Accessibility: B Have a Question?

The campus is beautiful, and you'll get a fantastic education, but the actual administration doesn't care about students. The teachers are wonderfully helpful and are willing to do whatever you need to get through the occasionally daunting coursework, there is a vast selection of courses in order to play to your interests, and there is no better school for the education major, as they ensure you get a great deal of experience in the classroom. If you are a good student who is willing to work hard and learn, you will find yourself satisfied here. However, student life isn't always comfortable. While most students here are polite and friendly, and everyone will find someone they get along with, a few bad apples can get in anywhere. Of course, these bad apples also appear in the administration of the school. If you need technical help, there is nobody available on weekends. If things are broken, there will be nobody there on the weekends. They also cut out early Fridays and rarely can you get a person to pick up a telephone no matter how many times you call. The food is, plainly, awful. Should you find something that tastes good, inevitably it will be bad for you and give you a terrible stomachache. The good news is, most of the dorms have kitchens equipped with microwaves, ovens and stovetops, and students can keep microwaves in their room. The bad news is that this equipment is often in poor shape, barely working, not at all trustworthy, and will never be replaced. In fact, nothing at all is ever repaired or replaced. I'm almost certain that my dorm room from last year would still have bats in the ceiling if maintenance bothered to check. Dormitories are relatively standard. They are small, crowded, occasionally bedbug infested, and have poor circulation. Most dormrooms do not have air conditioning, the heating is often ineffective. There is no weekend janitor. This is, however, probably the average for most colleges. There is construction on campus. There is always construction on campus, but only on new things, never maintenance. The construction workers do not care about the campus. They litter, make noise, and block the roads. This can cause trash to not be picked up near construction sites, as the roads are blocked and the garbage truck doesn't bother to wait for them to move. Crime is not a problem I have experienced here, and Campus Police are efficient in dealing with problems and genuinely interested in the safety of the students. However, I wouldn't believe the crime rate reports the school publicizes. Victims of crimes such as harrassment have said that they are pressured not to press charges in criminal court and deal with things internally in order to avoid having to report such incidents. Extracurricular activities are pretty great. The active clubs are interesting and exciting, and there are often concerts and shows on campus. However, the school isn't as active as it advertises, and many students do go home on weekends. Perhaps because the food is so very, very awful. You will probably go home on weekends too. Overall, if you want to have a great education from fantastic teachers, work hard and learn, this is a great school. Just be sure you're alright with the fact that the education is the only thing great about this school. The teachers might care about you, and you'll make some great friends who will care about you, but the administration doesn't. Useful Schoolwork: A+, University Resource Use: D Have a Question?

First of all I think it is the perfect size. With 6,000 undergrads, it is small enough where you get individual attention and get the opportunity to know a decent amount of people. Also, it is big enough to have a variety of majors, interests, classes and the opportunity to meet new people. If you're interested in your typical New Jersey public school (gigantic, miserable, chaotic, low calibre of student, suitcase school), then you're looking at the wrong school. I feel that the stereotype of NJ schools really hurts us. Overall, the professors are very good. There is always the occassional dumb one, but that's everywhere. The facilities are fabulous and new minus 2 dorms and Forcina (Education building). There is a very strong Division III program in addition to club and intramural sports. There are over 180 organizations on campus, so if you complain about a poor social life, that's 100% your fault. There are a lot of awkward people, but there are so many normal people. I have a wonderful group of friends and acquaintances I've met through many organizations and classes. The first 2 months of my freshman year I went home every other weekend, but after that I go home for the weekend about every 2 months. Greek life is here but not overwhelming which is good. There are no official frat/sorority houses so parties are generally at houses or somewhat 'frat houses.' Don't try to party on campus. CA's (our version of RA's) and campus police are too strong a force but it is good that it keeps the dorms calm which most people don't appreciate enough. Ewing, NJ, where the college is located is not an exciting place and borders on Trenton. Fortunately, there is Route 1, Princeton, New Brunswick, New Hope PA, Philadelphia and New York City. You're not going to find a carnival of activities that close to campus. All are cheap and very easily accessible. Although in-state tuition is about $22,000 which I think is pricy but still good in comparison to other NJ schools. It's hard to get scholarships unless you have a 1300+ SAT and you'll probably only get $5000. Financial aid and student accounts are always chaotic and sometimes difficult to get help from. It is a ridiculously good price for the quality of school and name. We're ranked with public schools like UCLA, UNC and UVA. Overall, it is truly and excellent institution with an excellent reputation, opportunities, motivated people, and many resources Individual Value: A+, Surrounding City: C Have a Question?

The only department I've had a problem with is Forgeign Languages. There's a lot of work but it's worth the education. Everyone is very friendly. It is hard, however, to get involved and make friends as a transfer student. If you're interested in Greek life its huge here. There are also tons of other organizations and clubs.
