I did one year in this school and transfered to a different school. I couldn't see myself continuing in this school any longer. I had problems with some professors either I couldn't understand them because of their broken english or they would teach us about something that had nothing to do with the class. I feel like that school is running a business more then wanting to give proper education. It's like they just want to hire anyone to be a professor. Many professors just won't show up and waste people's time to come to class when they could be doing something else. The only thing I'm going to miss about the school are the friends I made and the food and also being a student athlete at the school. I felt like I learned more on my atheltic team then in the classroom. SMH This school needs to get it together.

disregard the negative comment here. Now although the school isn't amazing, its not bad, and so far two of my teachers are decent the other two i like a lot so i cant complain really. honestly i thought the school wasn't going to be good but essex is actually pretty cool, the social life is what you make it. and the food here is awesome for some strange reason. so all in all, i like it.

If you have no choice, then this isn't the worst place in the world to get started. Nor is it the best. Not because of the faculty, but because of the students. I realize it's community college, but as an adult returning to school after 20 years to get my degree, I expected a higher level of intellect from the students. Instead, the student body is filled with morons, malcontents, criminals, psychopaths, and the just plain lazy. This describes almost every male attendee in the 18 - 22 age range.

The faculty, and the academic rigor, is surprisingly good. I found most of my courses, especially the science/math/economics classes, rather challenging. There were a few classes that are a waste of time (art appreciation, for example, where we had to build a shoebox project. A shoebox project in college!! Why not macaroni glued to a paper plate as well!)

It's in a decent section of Newark, and I take mostly night classes, and I've never felt threatened or endangered. Cops are always present. Put in your two years to save money, then go to a 4-year; avoid the gang-bangers and the future ex-cons; and you should be alright.
