There is a wide variety of courses available. When it comes time for me to register for classes, I am stuck because there are so many I want to take, and not enough time. I really love that Stockton encourages students to gain a breadth of knowledge by exploring different areas. When I attended instant-decision day the man who was reviewing my application and transcript told me that undeclared is the best way to go for the first semester. I strongly agree because without a set major right now, I am very open-minded and am trying many different things. As a result, I have taken a variety of different courses and have discovered a couple new areas that interest me, that I never would have thought twice about before. Additionally, the professors here are excellent, and passionate about teaching others. They really care about their students, and make it known.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Stockton has much to offer. Residential life at Stockton is excellent. There is not one thing I dislike about living on campus. The main campus where I attend classes is no more than a ten minute walk from the dorms. When I am not in class or doing homework, I am at Stockton After Hours events. There are events three to four times each week: movie nights, game nights, bingo night, quizzo nights, karaoke nights, craft nights, candy nights, comedy nights, and more. The best part about it is that everything is free, and there are snacks and beverages, and many opportunities to win prizes and money. In addition, there are many clubs and organizations students can be a part of. There really is something for everyone.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Very active campus, excellent education, many good places to eat, constant changes (new campus center being built right now)
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
I would encourage prospective students to try one semester undeclared first. Even if you already know for sure what you want to major in, just wait to declare it because then I think you are more open-minded. Also, I would encourage prospective students to live on campus. Living on campus really allows you to be more involved and feel like you're a part of the college community.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Stockton is great for students who are looking to have close relationships with their professors. Most of the classes are 25-30 students. All the professors I've had so far have been really caring and helpful. They all learn each of their students' names. I even have one professor with a 200-student class, and he is working on learning everyone's name.
