Stockton University is a mid sized public school in a rural setting, despite being just 10 minutes away from Atlantic City. There's a variety of bachelor's and master's degree programs available, all at an affordable price. Additionally, there's always something to do whether it's events, clubs, sports, games, or even their many study abroad programs.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Find at least one or two clubs to join and meet people. Some classes can be pretty quiet, so you not get the opportunity to meet people during the course. I would also suggest, if money permits, trying one of their study abroad programs. They're an experience of a lifetime, and they often offer scholarships for students who join!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Depending on your major and year, classes can range from incredibly easy to very very tough. Foreign teachers may occasionally be an issue, so if you need a good grade, you may have to seek help from someone besides the professor for extra help. But besides that issue, most of the teachers have a passion for what they teach and that's a definite plus.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Can't say anything about the dorms as a commuter. Most students commute here as far as I know.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Tons of choices for everyone. From vegetarian to comfort food, there's a lot to choose from with over 10 places to eat right on campus. Be careful to control your diet here, though. It can get very tempting.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There is actually a lake right on campus with a small beach and trails nearby! If you like the outdoors, I would fully recommend exploring the beautiful nature filled campus. There's also plenty of sports fields, a gym, and game rooms for additional entertainment.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
As in state student, its a definite 5/5 for me. You get a great education for a mere $12,500 a year. Out of state tuition, however is more of a 3/5. $24,000 a year could be better spent on a higher quality university. And that price does not even include housing.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Anyone who likes nature, but also wants nearby towns and cities to explore.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Plenty of clubs to pick from, they cover just about every subject you could think of and more. I can't speak for every club, but most of them very active around the school. There's also countless study abroad opportunities in countries all around the world. Stockton offers scholarships as incentives to go on these trips, which provide you with college credits.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Not super popular, but it does indeed exist
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Stockton has their very own police force constantly on patrol, and dorms are equipped with keycards/gates. I've never had an issue with safety here.
