Major: Economics (This Major's Salary over time)
I am in my senior year at Seton Hall, and at this point in my education I can say with certainty that I am glad that I attended this university. I did not always feel this way, however.

I thoroughly enjoyed my freshman year experience, made many friends, found that there were many opportunities to get involved on campus, and felt very at-home.

To be honest, I seriously considered transferring during my sophomore year, because I began to find many of the student activities on campus to be lame and geared primarily toward freshman. In short, I felt that I was no longer getting a "college experience" and felt somewhat shorted.

I have since come to realize that, although Seton Hall may not be the most "college-y" institution, it is an excellent place to grow and develop both academically and personally. There really is a great community on this campus. The majority of students are truly friendly and approachable, and more importantly, the professors are extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and caring.

I feel that I will be prepared to take on the real world upon my graduation, because I have received not only a quality education, but also plentiful guidance and opportunities for personal and professional growth along the way.

I have had 2 excellent, paid internships, and am well on track to attend graduate school next year. I have become very involved in my major and in my department, and have terrific relationships with many of my professors. I wasn't necessarily handed my success or happiness at Seton Hall. I had to engage myself in the university to get a great experience out of my time here.

In conclusion, if you want a university that is going to coddle you and wrap you in a blanket of "college-ness" Seton Hall is probably not your school. If you are the kind of student that enjoys diversity and is willing to put some effort into your own success, you will thrive at Seton Hall. Every hard-working student really has the opportunity to find a niche at Seton Hall and to stand out and succeed here.
