Kean University is a great school to attend if you like diversity, a beautiful campus, and a great education.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Get to know your professors as if you are networking with them. Make sure they know your name and know your face.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The class sizes can be really small or just the right amount of students so you will not get lost in a sea of students like other colleges do. The benefits of having smaller classes is that you can be in contact with the professor more than you would in a class with 50 students in it.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Staying in New Freshman Residence Hall is great. You get to meet new people from different backgrounds and learn about their culture. Living on campus is like living on your own so you do not have to answer to anyone but yourself. YOU make your OWN decisions on how you live in the dorms.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Unfortunately, the food has its highs and lows. The cafeteria that every freshman has to get swipes for is the cafeteria that sometimes has good food. Most people go to the University Center cafeteria which has the best food. We also have a Starbucks on campus so that is always a plus.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There's night clubs surrounding us, yes you will have to call a taxi or have a car but it is worth it. We also have an Applebees up the street and if you travel a little bit further we have a plethora of restaurants. We also have Jersey Gardens which we have a shuttle that takes us there and back. We have a pool, tennis court, basketball court, football field, gymnastics rooms and dance rooms.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
We have our own police station on campus and they are always roaming around to make sure that the campus is safe.
