The teachers here are truly committed to their professions and their passions for their fields show. Every professor I've had has been easily accessible through emails or in-office hours and is dedicated to making sure that his or her students aptly understands the materials.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The college has multiple convenient campuses, the main one being in Lincroft. It's minutes away from the Garden State Parkway, Route 35, and towns such as Red Bank and Eatontown. There's always some organization hosting an event on campus, whether it's Laugh at Lunch or the Visiting Writer's Series. The library, bookstore, cafeteria, and convenience store on campus also help supply needed materials, as well as pass the time between classes.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
A 12 credit semester will cost you about $2,000-$2,500, not including books and materials. If you're under the NJ Stars program, however, tuition is obviously covered. Brookdale is very giving with it's financial aid, though, and you may even find yourself essentially getting paid to attend college.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Check your financial aid possibilities. Buy your books on Amazon.com or somewhere similar (the bookstore's pricey). Reach out to your professors. No, it's not an Ivy League, but you'll get a great education here if you're open to it.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Brookdale is great for students who don't want to leave home yet, who are intimidated by overly expensive universities, night-time students, returning students, or students like me who hadn't yet decided on a university or major but still want to get required courses out of the way (and inexpensively).
