Review of William Paterson University of New Jersey
from Newark, NJ
Describe your college in three sentences.
First semester was great. The professors are all wonderful,especially during office hours. Can't wait for Spring.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't believe everything you're told about WPU. They say it's a party school - we DO party - but most of the time it is stictly academic. Get to know your professors (email them before the semester begins to introduce yourself). Smile, be as fake as you can haha - it' can be the difference between a B+ and a A-.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Lots of homework to keep you busy and occupied, which makes leisure time even more pleasurable ! Teaching is easy to understand and cope with.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
EVERYBODY is friendly and nice. Sort of a bit chatty, but people will always make you feel welcomed. The dorms aren't too big or too small - it is just right. Air condition in the summer and heat in the winter...wouldn't be surprised if you oversleep.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Excellent diner. The staff there prepare the best burgers !!!!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
I normally go to the lounge and hang out with people , get to meet new people. Sometimes I attend sporting events like soccer games and basketball games.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
It is definitely worth you money ! no other school will give a more social life - maybe other than rutgers. but still WPU is top ranked.
