Although there are some positives to Montclair it is mostly negative. Parking is ridiculous. I commute to school two days a week and on one of the two days I commute I have to park in Red Hawk because Car Parc is full to the brim. I go to class for two and a half hours and have to pay six dollars for parking at Red Hawk, while I all ready paid my commuter parking fee for Car Parc, and will literally have to run to Red Hawk to get my car, move it to Car Parc and then run up that god forsaken hill to get to my next class. Whoever decided to build the student parking deck on the bottom of a hill is obviously a genius. The campus is constantly under construction so its always an eye sore. Plus it creates problems when walking to class because you're constantly having to go around construction. Some of the buildings are really nice on campus while others are falling apart.

Most of the faculty is unhelpful. When I fist came to orientation this woman was assisting me with creating my schedule and I told her I would 110 % not be able to commute to class everyday because I live almost an hour away and work full time so I wanted to take as many classes in a day as possible. I guess she just didn't care and she made this screwed up schedule for me where I had class monday - friday. Because I was a freshman they wouldn't allow me to change my schedule myself and I had to go to campus just to change my schedule. So far though most of my teachers have been pretty cool except for a select few here and there.

Many of the students there are rude and unsociable. I've talked to some on campus students and they absolutely hate it because theres nothing to do. I take a few education classes and we had this debate with students with learning disabilities being put in slower classes and a decent amount of students in my class said they were in special ed when they were younger. I almost died on the spot. You were in special ed yet you want to become a teacher? I always head pretty good things about Montclair but they need to really clean up the place and stop letting in every student that applies. They reward themselves for being one of the best colleges offering teaching certificates yet half their students are basically retarded.

I am so glad I went to Montclair State University. I received both my Masters and my Bachelors from this school. I truly believe that the discipline of my curriculum along with the support from my professors in the legal department has given me the foundation needed for my career. I truly believe that I would not be where I am today if it wasn't for Montclair State University!

Super Brilliant
I LOVE MSU! It is a beautiful campus and my professors are wonderful. I'm a country-girl at heart so I love the beautiful landscape. It is a perfect place for someone seeking a quality education and perhaps time to meditate. I get emails every day about different events going on in school. Montclair is a beautiful city, the perfect place to settle down. Overall, I love my school. I went to NYU for a semester and it was too expensive so I switched to MSU and wouldn't trade this school for any other - not even NYU. MSU is an great place to get a quality education.
