The professors are pretty good but the rest of the student faculty sucks and they are very rude and they seem to forget that they get paid to work and help students. The school has a student success center where students can get tutored but no one goes (unless they are in dire need of help) because the blond haired lady that works there is obnoxious. Btw, don't set up a bank account here at school as you will regret it because the lady that works there is a complete bitch!! I hate this school so much and I mean everything!!!!!!

Rider is a good school that gets a bad rap, seen as a suitcase school, yet people forget that a majority of students live nearby in NJ. As I am a Communication major with a Radio/Tv track, I find that I will be well prepared when I graduate. Getting involved is important, as Rider gives you the opportunity to get the experience you need before you enter the work force. The social life is not bad as long as you are involved on campus, either with Greek life, one of the numerous clubs, intramural sports, or on-campus job. This is the secret of course to meeting people, and once you've done that you wont be disappointed. In regard to the course work, I can really only tell you from my perspective from the communication department, as many of core and electives were in this area. You may think it is an easy major, however classes such as Com Law, Radio/TV, and especially the Production classes will have you thinking, studying and working very diligently. Yes some people wont like this school, but that's usually because they're not giving it much of a chance and are looking at it very narrowly. If you attend this school you will get a good education, and the social life will vastly improve if you do decide to get out of your dorm and get involved.

I wanted to work in the television field, and Rider emerged as one of the better choices. I chose to attend it because the campus was small and private, so a student could get personally involved in the department rather than being simply a number. Everyone is extremely nice, both students and faculty. It can be a little boring at times, but thats not a bad thing. It gives you time to do your work you're to busy to do otherwise. If you aren't a shut-in, you'll make a ton of friends, you just have to make an effort to be outgoing. The school always provides something for students to do, and it usually comes with a free t-shirt. If you stay for four years, you'll have more than you can count. And if you're allergic to grass, you might want to bring some allergy meds, because they cut the grass constantly. But I guess that's better than being surrounded by nothing but concrete.

I`ve always been a very happy person and this school has actually brought me to misery. I come home and cry everyday. The faculty are self absorbed, horribly mean, harshly critical, and almost always boring. The other students are mean, careless, uninviting and superficial. The Departments and the people in charge,especially the teachers, care NOTHING about you. If you want to go to a school where you actually learn in a NICE way by NICE people, do NOT go to this school, it is absolutely HORRIBLE. EVERYTHING ABOUT IT.
