Review of Stevens Institute of Technology

from Fountain Valley, CA

Describe your college in three sentences.

Don't be fooled by the small size of Stevens. Stevens is a great school. Both the faculty and the students who go there are incredibly supportive and want you to succeed.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Bring your sun screen and winter coats. Stevens location on the Hudson River is beautiful, and you'll love using all the outside areas on beautiful, but when winter winds blow across the Hudson, you'll be glad to have a warm coat.

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

Very demanding and challenging, but I am learning more that I ever dreamed. The teachers and TA's are great about helping students. They want you to learn and do well.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The best! I made so many friends my first month there that it felt like home. I love my new Steven's family.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The dining hall is great. The ultimate meal plan lets you go in as many times as you want, and whenever you want. It is open til midnight. Love the ice cream and coffee runs!

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

There is always someone in the dorms to hang out with. Or go off campus into Hoboken where there are lots of restaurants and shops. And with a 15 minute train ride you can be in New York City!

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

Stevens is a private school, so it isn't cheap, but I think it is worth it for the quality of education I am getting. And I love my ultimate food plan: any food any time.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Stevens is the high point for the Hoboken area, so when a hurricane hit we were the safest place to be!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Like learning and working with others.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

We have so many great clubs and there are plenty of fraternities and sororities to join.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

I joined a sorority my first year and I love my big and all my other sisters. They keep us very busy doing lots of fun things.

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

Great! Our campus security people are nice and the local Hoboken police are very connected with the school and available to help.
