REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingBeing a nursing major, I knew it was not going to be easy. I started my first semester by taking 5 classes which is not recommended but I knew I had to. At RCNJ, you learn ALOT. You may think oh this class is going to be easy, but once you get into it, you find that you are learning a lot more than you think. But overall, RCNJ is a great college where you will learn a lot and still have fun.
Khadijah from Union, NJ
Ramapo faculty, students, and staff provide a friendly atmosphere that's specifically geared towards teaching instead of research. At Ramapo, you're not just a number because your instructors really take the time to know who you are both in and out of a classroom setting. I feel as though I made a great choice in attending Ramapo for my undergraduate studies.
Adam from West Milford, NJ
The professors that I have met so far seem very nice and helpful!
