I attended the Rutherford and Teaneck campuses, and graduated with a BA in Political Science in 1989. All five of my Poli Sci professors had doctorate credentials, as did most of the other instructors I had at that time. As classes were usually in the 15 - 20 student range, the professors really got to know their students well, and because of that, were better able to mentor us toward a particular area of study and many on to graduate work. It always seemed easy for me to meet with my professors. I can't imagine this being the case at institutions where there may be a hundred or more attending lectures in an auditorium.

Academically, I found the work challenging, but not impossible. As with all things, some subject areas were more difficult than others. Those which were of most interest to me within my major seemed very easy. No surprise there. I also found that the harder and more disciplined I studied, the more I learned and the better grades were achieved, no matter the course.

As far as the negative comments that have been posted regarding the social life, well, I had a great time at FDU. I was a member of a Greek organization, however, as a commuter, I also made a lot of friends on campus with my classmates, some of whom are still my friends today. Aside from attending college full-time, I also worked. Combined with study, frankly, there wasn't much time to whine about boredom and social life. I would recommend today's students to volunteer their time by joining local organizations. What a great way to help in the community and network at the same time.

My daughter is currently an engineering student at the Teaneck campus and she loves it. She was accepted into other schools in the Tri-state area, public and private. She was awarded some scholarships at FDU which made the decision quite easy. She likes the smaller class setting and most of her professors. Since she has followed in my footsteps as a commuter, she is getting a quality education at a good price, especially since dorming at even a state school is a costly proposition. It's no bargain if your savings in tuition is spent on housing, which, from what I've seen at other schools, are not really any better than FDU, and in some cases much worse.
