Review of Kean University

from Elizabeth, NJ

Describe your college in three sentences.

Kean University is exciting everyday due to the activities that go on. I love that there are people form different cultures, traditions and races who are very friendly and kind. Conclusively, I love how I felt welcomed at Kean thanks to the staff and student body.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Whether you are dorming or commuting, it is very important that you focus on your schoolwork before partying because you will regret not doing so later on. In my Transition to Kean class there is this student who is older than me and only cares about partying. He has a very low GPA and has not decided on a major yet. Please do not be like this, choose your major early so you can take only the classes you need and get out as quickly as you can!

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

The professors at Kean love to challenge their students and personally, I was not given such work in high school. I get homework every night and I love it because it helps me to remember things and reduce cramming. I was astonished by the price of the textbooks and had to use two weeks paycheck on buying them. It was a little difficult getting accustomed to this grand change in my life but, it is all starting to fall into place.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

I am a commuter but, I got the chance to visit the dorms and they were very neat and well kept. The students who lived there also respect each other and love to live together. They are also like a second family to each other away from home.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

I absolutely love the food. From the tacos, to the burritos, to the pizza and mozzarella sticks... I love it all! I was informed that the meat and chicken cooked in the kitchen is imported fresh daily. The cafeteria is always clean and comfortable to eat at. I literally go everyday and eat there. I also love how there is a section for grease lovers as me and vegetarians as well.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

Waiting for your next class can be exhausting and boring at times. I myself love to go to the game room and spend time with my close friends. It is a great way to relax before your next class. Also, I love to go to starbucks and catch up on homework that has to be done. It is also very enjoyable to take walks around the beautiful campus.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Kean is great for you if you like to meet people, want a campus of suitable size and do not like being alone. The mall is near by and everyone is treated equally. Each professor cares about their students and are not intimidating at all.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are many clubs on campus and all the open-house events provides us with the chance to meet all kinds of people. They are very welcoming and encourage everyone to participate and get involved.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

The Greeks are very careful when they have mixers. They make sure to have sober sisters and brothers drive everyone to the mixer and back to campus. They make sure you get home safe and enjoyed yourself while at their mixer.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

What I enjoyed the most is that there is a police station on campus and there are no fights. People are very mature at Kean and everyone gets along with each other. The police do strolls around campus but ultimately, everyone gets along and coincide with each other.
