Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Political Science  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Bright Fairleigh Dickinson is the rich man's community college. The students that attend the University are childish and absent minded. No one cares about academics, no one cares about anything. Want to get involved on campus? Too bad, there is nothing to get involved in. You might be thinking, that is alright, college is about the grades. I'll just focus on them and move on with the rest of my life. This isn't the case at FDU. The self-centered faculty gives out low marks with no explanation in an effort to keep people from transferring out the University. The faculty thinks highly of themselves but, in general, are lazy, condescending and rude. Sometimes, they even state things that are clearly wrong just to hear themselves speak. I have already corrected two professors, one a Political Science Professor and the other a History Professor, on presenting historically incorrect information during a lecture. In short, if you are thinking of applying or even attending Fairleigh Dickinson University, take my word for it and don't. It is too expensive for what you get in return. Your money will be better spent at Rutgers or even a community college. Everyone I room with, including myself, are all attempting to transfer out of this horrible establishment. Have a Question?

Some of the English faculty were snotty especially that Lady Leah who was intimidating and not handing back students exams. I once tried to appeal but I then was discouraged to complain because their judgment was best intended and then found out it was a cover up to prevent me from making an appeal of my grades. I had to stay one more semester to fix my GPA but all I did was take easy A classes and that was enough for me to transfer. Take the Phy Ed classes by the dozen and you will get out of campus. I Transferred to Rutgers and things got better since then. the Teaneck Campus is not close to New York City, if you want something close to NY enroll to a college in NY. Teaneck life campus is virtually dead except some frats and sororities but if you compare it to the numerous population Rutgers has, FDU is nothing. Plus if youre on a small classroom, if you get a boring teacher and that hates you, chances are that you're going to fail. Have a Question?

Everyone goes home on the weekends and the campus is dead. even going there for free was a waste. I would have rather paid to get a real college experience. Dorms haven't been updated since the 60s. faculty is almost all part time no one has an office unless you meet in the cafeteria or Nathans. Cafeteria hours are horrible. all the food is put up if you don't go within the first hour. The business school is not ranked highly, they deceived me with that one. Go to Seton hall or Drew!!!
