“Well the school is like 10 to 15BrightBiology
Well the school is like 10 to 15 min away from me, so the convenience is a plus. Although the biology department is not as established as the other ones, it is certainly advancing quite well. If you are a pro active student and keep in touch with the advisors, they will certainly help you. Constant emails are sent out regarding new research opportunities and job opportunities for bio students...I've received a part-time job at a hospital that I have been holding for the past 2 yrs because of the department.
If you are a bio major, you will also be taking classes at Rutgers, which isn't so bad, but just be careful when it comes time to registering for classes...getting your classes, while they are already filled up with the "real" Rutgers students becomes a hassle. However, NJIT is now starting to offer more of its own bio courses.
In regards to the classes outside my major (e.g.,history, humanities), I actually found them enlightening. Every school has their fair share of bad professors, but if you find the right ones by asking around or looking them up, you won't be disappointed. They understand that this is a heavily based science and math school, so they ease up with the workload/grading.
I'll be graduating in 2 weeks, and looking back, the experience has been pleasant.

“I'm about to start my second semester.Quite BrightMechanical Engineering
I'm about to start my second semester. NJIT is not a party school, and your social life may take a hit. I have no intention of transferring, however. The job and salary outlook for my major (mechanical engineering, minor in math) is too good to pass up. I commute and even the 35-40 minute drive becomes hell (1 hour+) during rush hour, plus you don't want to ever be stuck on the road with New Jersey drivers ;) Live on campus, join a frat, make friends, and keep up with your schoolwork and prioritize accordingly. Oh, and It's in the city of Newark, one of the most dangerous cities in the country. You WILL get emails about robberies on and around University Heights (NJIT, rutgers, UMDNJ, ECC). Don't leave campus at night.

“All the things are acceptable except for fewAverageComputer Science
All the things are acceptable except for few things,
First of all, my heater/AC in my dorm room was broken, and it took them almost two months to fix it. The problem was me and my roommate submitted around four or five maintenance requests to them, and it is online. Online should be faster, but it's the opposite. It's not a joke. I could sue them if they did not fix the heater during the winter.

Second, the internet speed of my dorm went mad slow sometime few months ago. Ironically, this is the NJIT, New Jersey Institute of Technology, "Technology." This make me laugh.Finally, Office of International Students of NJIT is a pain in the a**. It's making me wanna leave this college! They said 10 business days to finish a paper work; they count the days for real right in front of your face. It is the 11th day now, and they say wait for one more day, which is the 12th day!! We are not paying for the slackers in that office! I'm NOT PlEASED!
