Transferred to Rowan from Kean, and glad I did! Campus is beautiful and professors are top-notch! Couldn't be happier with my move to Rowan!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Be prepared to walk! No freshman car permission, so be prepared to travel by foot (or shuttle) to and from class. No problem, though; campus is relatively small and accessible. Be aware of your surroundings to be safe, but campus is very safe and patrolled regularly.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Classes and professors challenge students to do their very best. Professors and TAs are approachable and help if you simply ask! Tutoring available for those who need as well.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
If you can afford it, housing on Rowan Boulevard is best. The immediate area is well lit and patrolled by campus police. Dorms are newer as well, and each individual dorm is electronic lock secure, meaning you have to swipe to get in; no card, no entry,
Describe the food and dining at your college.
One's never far from getting a meal! Food court style meals cover almost any cuisine you might crave. And if you want a quick bite, there are several cafes and shops for subs and salads. Boro Bucks (the equivalent of cash to use in the community) are accepted nearly everywhere in the immediate area, so one can eat at a local pizza or burger joint.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Student activities are the best! There are activities planned by faculty and the student body to encourage persons to stay on campus and safe! Rowan also sponsors several guest speakers and events, along with local entertainment in terms of theaters, Atlantic City and the Jersey Shore!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Being a state school, in-state tuition is reasonable and you definitely get as good, if not better, education for the money than bigger named schools. Exceptional room and board, and small school feel leaves the student feeling she matters and the school cares.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
There is a HUGE family visit weekend shortly after settling in where Rowan faculty invites student's parents and siblings. Football and soccer games, along with cook-outs, picnic, demonstrations of all sorts was really impressive to my parents.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Rowan's great for students who are looking to find themselves and what they want from their future. The relatively small campus and student body gives the school a really close-knit community feel, where people do for one another.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Safety is a concern on any college campus, and at Rowan, it's no different. There have been a few incidents where the campus PD has investigated, and yet Rowan is a safe and quiet school. Again, best and safest dorms are the newer dorms at Rowan Boulevard. If you can get housing there, you're in the safest dorms in which you can live.
