Although it's a large University, if you're involved you will meet a lot of people and be able to network. As a nursing student: the building is small and apart from the rest of the university but a short walk from George st. where the campus bus stops. Lots of events offered by many organizations, many are free and extremely fun to go.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Getting in contact with admissions, financial aid office, etc., is difficult so keep harassing them and calling till they have helped you.
If you can commute, do it (unless you can afford dorming) because there is so many things to do and events to go to that you will still make friends and meet people with having a huge debt.
Although it is sometimes describes as a safety school, the rigor of the classes might surprise you so don't underestimate the difficulty level.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Depends on your major but you might be surprised. Definitely more difficult than most people think. As a nursing major, classes have been quite difficult, but there's lots of studying resources (tutoring, office hours).
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Sorry, I commute!
Describe the food and dining at your college.
I commute but I like to go the the restaurants in the student centers (Wendy's Burger Kind, Pizzerias, greek food, burritos, Dunkin Donuts, quite versitile!). I've heard many good things about the dinning halls although I don't go there as I don't have a meal plan.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Many events offered by school organization (especially RUPA). Bars and restaurants in close proxity. Relatively close to NYC and the shore.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I'm very happy for my decision to come here. Quality education, no debt, great people, fun activities and great networking opportunities!
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
The area is a little iffy but campus police is very efficient.
