While freshmen year was a bit challenging, I found myself in the swing of things by my sophomore year. It was hard to leave a close knit group of friends/community and start new, but the university provides many opportunities to meet new people. Through several campus run activities (hillel, habitat for humanity, gamma sigma sigma, scpab) I was able to build up a group of lifelong friends in no time. I was also very satisfied with my classes. I recieved a Bachelor of Arts in music, which I like to describe as a general studies major with a concentration in music. This program gave me the opportunity to persue my talents as well as explore many other subjects. While there were some courses that were a dissapointment (boring teacher/content), I was easily able to drop them within the first two weeks and had many other options. I can look back and list professors that were truly inspirational. The sort of classes you look forward to going to. I found the criminal justice, sociology, and italian departments to be particularly noteworthy. I also took advantage this Universities great study abroad program. I traveled to Siena, Italy during the 2005 Winter and have not stopped talking about the experience since. The staff that traveled with the program were so down to earth and showed a real interest in all of us. This can also be said about the professors we met in Italy. While the classes were still quite challenging (which I hear isnt the case on all study abroad trips) I still had plenty of time to explore the country with my friends.As far as security goes, I can say I felt generally safe at all times. Throughout my four years there were some horrific events that took place on campus, but they over shadowed the overall day-to-day safety. The problem, I think, is Newark gives the feeling of a small town. People put their gaurd down. I have walked across the campus at night numerous times by myself (which I probably shouldnt have done) and did not experience any problems. Crimes do occur, but that happens everywhere. The dorms are a particularly safe place to live because of the card access system. Only those who live in the building can enter…unless someone holds the door open for the person behind them. As far as complaints go, it is impossible to go four years without them. I think they could improve upon campus transportation. There are buses that run throughout campus, but it would be helpful to have more late night transportation that reached off campus locations. The dinning hall food was not so great, but tolerable. Public safety gives out way too many parking tickets. Oh, and the train running through campus can be quite annoying if you're running late to class.Class sizes were great - small when they needed to be, not overwhelming for the large lectures. Professor accessability was never an issue for me. I often met with professors after class for additional tutoring. Plus, many departments offer free tutoring services. Also, the campus is beautiful!!… especially in the spring time. |
