Faculty rarely gives sufficient help, and in the science department most speak poor english. There is few clubs that are interesting, and to start a new club is made impossible. I tried to start a wrestling club which took three weeks to get pre-approved by sga. I hate monmouth and believe they are barely respected except in NJ. As a new yorker nobody knows what Monmouth is.

At first, I was really excited to attend- the place is great on paper with its beach location, small class sizes, and it's a good distance from my house- about an hour. However, on arriving I was incredibly displeased. First of all, there are a lot of kids here who I don't even know why they are IN college. It makes me feel ashamed to go to school with kids who I wonder how they even passed high school. The honors school is a joke. The classes are cool, but I would rate those as good high school classes, at best. I have had numerous professors who were terrible teachers- I felt like at a lot of times they had no idea what they were doing. It feels small quickly because of the high number of commuters and people who live off campus, alot with the drastic amount who transfer out by Sophomore year. Barely anyone I know likes this school. Many stay more out of laziness than anything. The meal plan is expensive and having one terrible dining hall is lame. I literally eat waffles for every meal because there is nothing else. I wouldn't say everyone goes home on the weekend, it gets better as the year progresses. But EVERYBODY lives in the area. It's ridiculous. The town hates the school, and the cops will tear you apart for one alcohol violation. The parties suck as it is, and since there is no frat row you have to get invited and get picked up by the frat house. Plus they all get busted by 1 am anyway. The town is beat. You need a car to get absolutely anywhere, which is too bad because it would probably be cool since Pt Pleasant, Seaside, the mall, and so many cool restaurants are pretty close. Everyone is a guido. There are no free reading books in the library, which is bs. However, I won't lie, there are some good parts. All the buildings are very close- ten minutes away at the most. You get to know people quickly because of the small size, so its not hard to make friends. Its cool being by the beach in the spring and all. Basically all of the staff is pretty friendly and helpful. Classes are small and you get individualized attention. Good advisors. Alot of hand holding here.

Unfortunately, Monmouth states that it is a top 390 Business School as well as a top 590 institution according to Princeton Review? this is literally a crock of shit. My courses in the school of business were a COMPLETE JOKE! I took tests with open notebooks and text books? meaning I had learned absolutely nothing. This really tee?d me off as the economy began to get worse and these tools would become necessary in making me more competitive in the current job environment. However, I had been taught by professors how to fudge numbers as well as cheat my way through college. Props to Monmouth, you have done a great job of creating a namesake.

There are a lot of good and bad things about it that pretty much goes with any school. I attended Monmouth for my first year of school and wish I had stayed for my Sophomore year too but because of the amount of money the school costs I had to leave early. The most important thing about the classes was that they were small, and especially as you got into higher classes they got smaller, which was a great aspect of the university because you got to speak with your teachers more. The Social Life here is very lacking. It is really easy to meet a lot of people because it is such a small school and when you get to know everyone it's a lot of fun just chillin on campus with them. The worst part about the social life there was that everyone that went to school there lived around the area. They all ended up going home every single weekend and being that a few of us lived to far to go home every weekend, it was really annoying being there on the weekends doing nothing. So if you do go here, find a lot of people that don't go home very often and chill with them. All together I did love the school, it was beautiful and was the best year of my life so far. I am sad I didn't get to return, but I have moved on to cheaper, more interesting colleges. Hope this helped somewhat. Campus Aesthetics: A+, Surrounding City: F Have a Question?
