Review of Rowan University

Describe your college in three sentences.

Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey is a diverse college that is full of opportunities for students that desire a better education. It offers over 200 programs for different majors and connections that will last a lifetime. Student Life appeals to anyone and everyone that has a passion for something and no one is left out.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Students should get involved on Campus. There are many programs that are student run here at Rowan including SUP, Student University Programmers, and RAH, Rowan After Hours. They are for all students and appeal mainly to those that do not go out on the weekend and party. Many people are friendly and are easy to approach so do not be afraid to ask for help when you need it!

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

Rowan, for me, the classes are not super hard because I put my all into each class. You may have a hard time as a bio or engineer though many professors do not speak English very well.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Dorm life can be rough at times but you need to get along with the roommate you have a small space with a desk, closet, dresser and a bed frame (that is really high unless you get a guy to adjust it)

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Food is amazing at Rowan. There are many places within academic halls to eat, a food court on the bottom level of the student center. There is an amazing coffee place in the pit called Jazzman that accepts meal plans (unlimited coffee is amazing). There are four places on the first level to eat: Profs, which is deli and grill sandwiches,

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

Join a club, make a band, go out on the weekend and be safe, make friends. There is a college shopping center off of Delsea Dr. and Main St. (2 streets you'll know well) and Landmark is a great loacl bar and grill directly across from the campus that is very popular and a Wawa on the corner, if you're an east coaster this is essential.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

This school has so much to offer we are constantly adding new programs, the advisers have so many connections and overall the campus is just something you learn to love.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

There is a beautiful bridge located near the new engineer building great for if you need a get away.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Rowan University is great for people that embrace diversity. You learn os much from other people here at Rowan and it is necessary to find out who you truly are. Although if you consider yourself a typeof person, Rowan appeals to cultural-based people, religious people, partiers, non-drinkers, athletes and basically anyone who has a passion for something, music, singing etc.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

I cannot even begin to explain clubs at Rowan. There are probably about 500 clubs here that are on campus and commute to many different places. Anyone can even start their own club with 4 people or bring a new sorority or fraternity on campus with an easy application!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

We have Greek life at Rowan. Many fraternities include: Pi Kappa Alpha, Phi Kappa Psi, Alpha Chi Rho, Alpha Phi Omega, Sigma Pi, FIJI, TKE and DKE who are off-campus. The sororities are: Alpha Epsilon Phi, Alpha Sigma Alpha, Delta Phi Epsilon and Theta Phi Alpha. They were letters and hold many campus-wide events.

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

Glassboro, NJ does not have a good reputation if you did not know, although it is so safe with many programs. We have our own police force which are known as Robo Cops, Rowan Help Hotline, Glassboro Police who protect the borders of Rowan from the nearby Glassboro High school directly across 322 and many assistance boxes located every 100 feet in case of an emergency!
