Review of Stockton University

from Rochelle Park, NJ

Describe your college in three sentences.

Richard Stockton College of New Jersey is an amazing college. The atmosphere is very inviting and promotes academic brilliance. The classes are varied and the professors are attentive.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

I recommend this college for any students ify about the idea of attending. All Criminal Justice majors, such as myself, will be happy to know that there are many classes tailored to your needs. Most of the CRIM professors, that I have had, have background experience with some part of the law. Be it police officers or criminology theorists. The school has done a new Health & Science center. It is state-of-the-art. The classroom are all clean and electronically advanced. My only problem is that is reminds me of the thing I fear most, the hospital. The tuition is very low. Trust me when I say that when you graduate, you will be better off than many other students from different universities.

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

The academics are not difficult because the professors spend a lot of time going into detail about subject matter. You will never have a question unanswered. The professors are all friendly, some can be even funny. The courses are difficult, but they are made easier by the professors and friends at the tutoring center. I do not have too much to say about academics because it is up to you. The professors to a fantastic job teaching. Showing up to class, paying attention, and doing all the work are essential to doing good in this school. This much is up to you. Sometimes the classwork will pile up the the point where you have two essays and a project due next week, but they can all be completed is time is managed correctly.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Dorms are really fun. Sometimes I would stay up until two in the morning and just talk with my neighbors about stupid things like movies, superheroes, or the hot girls on campus. I am from North Jersey. I was amazed how friendly everybody was down at Stockton. I think its the beach. The freshman dorms are alright. There is nothing too glamorous about them. All the other dorms are amazing. You even can choose to live in a hotel for your year. Its called Seaview Hotel. Just the name gets me excited. I also heard that the beds are to die for. The forms are very safe. There are campus police patrolling almost all the time. I can not tell you how many times they honked the horn at me because my ear buds were on and I was in the way of their car. Each dorm is run by an RA that seem to know everything and give great instructions. During hot days, people play volley ball, basketball, frisbee. What you never played frisbee? Don't worry it will soon become your favorite sport. I recommend the dorms for anybody wanting to go to this college.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

There are many places where a student can go and get something to eat. The one I have been to the most is in the center of campus. There are eight eateries stacked side by side. Johnny Rockets is one of my favorites. Do not worry, there are also healthy places to eat. I started eating healthy so I can get rock hard abs for the ladies. There is also a buffet area with the nicest lunch lady I have ever met. The place I went to the most was Dunkin Donuts. The lades working there were so nice that they remembered my order. Ice tea and a bagel with cream cheese. The food tastes great, but don't spend all of your meals in the first month.

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

There are plenty of things to do for fun around Stockton. Stockton has a common area with a bunch of fun games. There are a lot of pool tables, pink-pong tables, and games I never knew existed. Get a couple of your friends and the day seems slips by when you are in here. My favorite place to be in the gym. There is no better feeling than to have big muscles. There are three gyms total on campus so the gyms are never overcrowded. Bring your car to school and the fun goes off campus. Atlantic City is only 30 minutes away and there is nothing more amazing than all those lights on a Friday night.

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

The main reason I am going to Richard Stockton College is because it is cheap. I pay very little to go here. Stockton offers many good scholarships to incoming students. There is no point in going to college if you are going to owe $50K plus in student fees. By the time I graduate college I will only owe $14,000 in student loans. My GPA is only a 3.4, so for many students the education might be free. There are plenty of ways to cut the cost down. Students can become RA's, this way their housing is free. Students can become tour guides for interested students. The guides get $2,500 off their tuition. Stockton gives plenty of opportunities to make your fees disappear before graduation.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

-Students that do not want to spend a lot of money on school. -Any students interested in varied courses. Criminal Justice and Health and Sciences are the most popular) -Students that want a small classroom. (Maximum class size is 25 students) -Interested in getting their bachelors and masters fast. (3 years earlier than most colleges) -Students interested in a friendly atmosphere.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are hundreds of clubs at Richard Stockton College of NJ. There are clubs for majors, clubs about nature, clubs about hobbies ex. There are so many clubs at Stockton that you will not have an easy time finding one. During my Monday, Wednesday, Friday classes I would see the gaming cub setting up TV's and playing super smash bros. The same was for various other clubs. Big flashy posters attracted freshmen like boats to a lighthouse.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Greek like is a great way to make friends. I am going to join a fraternity next year. There are many to choose from. I do not know much about Greek Life, but I do know that the Greek Advisor is very strick.

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

I made mention of how safe the campus is in a previous question. The police patrol almost all the time. A student can always call the campus police if they want as escort back to the dorms. Key cards are required to even move an inch around campus. There is nothing an overprotective mother would have to worry about at Stockton.
