To be blunt and honest, Seton Hall is a glorified community college. To go over the basics, the surrounding area is a joke. Don't expect to come into a college-town environment, or anything close to it. The crime rate, and rate at which students get mugged/robbed is alarming. Now this is all off campus and generally happens to students who don't think in an appropriate manner, but newark is in spitting distance so it's going to happen. The food here is a JOKE. The cafeteria's food is consistently the same thing everyday. There is a Dunkin Donuts, a Nathan's, a Pizzeria, and a "college cafe" type restaurant but they all cost $ and we all know how that works. The dorms are…bullshit. You feel trapped and confined rather then living in a space. There are not even water fountains in the dorms, that should say it all. You have to pay for laundry which is bullshit in its own, but you have to use "pirategold" which is like the School's Debit card, not to be confused with "piratebucks" … it's a pain in the ass really. Classes are small and average, typical stuff. Good professors and horrible ones. The social life is a JOKE. Mainly because, starting Friday morning the campus is a literal ghost town. Take that seriously because it certainly is the truth. Parties take place on a thursday, if you're lucky that one exists in the first place that is. Generally, a frat will throw one but generally it's only thrown by one of 2 frats and it's all the same shit each time, nothing special. Expect to wait 10 minutes hoarding around a keg just to get a beer, that's just how they are. That all is of course, if one of those 2 frats decides to throw a party which is less likely to happen as the year progresses. Now, take all of this from a current/soon to be ex-pledge to one of the frats here. It is the exact same thing, with the exact same people, on exactly the same nights. Keg, pong (if you're lucky), keg's empty, go back to campus. Again, Seton Hall is a glorified community college that is EXTREMELY expensive and certainly not worth it. The true, only good thing about Seton Hall is it does in fact look very glamorous and shiny on your resume… for whatever reason. I am transferring at the end of this semester, take my advice seriously. I blew off listening to people tell and warn me about SHU, and i certainly regret it.
