This is a review of the EDUCATION department.. I was a double major at Rider (History and Education), and I must say that the History Department was phenomenal. Anything bad that I have to say about the Education Department does not in any way reflect how I feel about the History Department, which is fantastic.

As for the Education Department, if I did not have an idea of what kind of teacher I wanted to be before I went to Rider, I would have been out of luck. The School of Education at Rider is 90% useless. The only worthwhile experience is your student teaching.

As a commuter, I found the frat boys and sorority girls to be self-absorbed and completely unfriendly. Everyone else seemed to kept to themselves. Also, as a commuter, I found no after school activities to be accessible. Parking is a NIGHTMARE, and any Rider student will tell you that. Despite the fact that we have/had petitioned or more parking, nobody seemed to listen.

For the price of tuition, and the quality of education that you get, go to a state school. If I was just a history major, my opinion would be a little more neutral, but if you are going to college for education, do not go to Rider.
