Campus is extremely small and old. There is one newer building on campus. The teachers are not very good. There are a lot of students who are very vocal about doing poorly in highschool who are not very focused on their futures. The non-science classes themselves are very easy. The Biology classes are difficult due to the professors lack of giving out studying materials and homework. I could not understand my Professor as her first language was not English. The chemistry teachers want you to succeed, but the curriculum is very confusing and difficult to navigate. This is good school is highschool was difficult for you. I came here for sports and transferred after a year along with 1/2 of my sports team due to the poor academics. There is one cafeteria on campus that is not good and has limited options. The Starbucks on campus is not a true Starbucks… they just use the Starbucks ingredients. It’s overpriced and not good. You can also NOT use your meal plan there which sucks.
I recently finished my first semester at Caldwell Univeristy and here’s my review about it so far. The staff are always willing to help and aid you in anything, it’s a catholic school, yes, but it’s very open minded. I was quite scared at the beginning of it because it was a religious school, but they like to do fun activities in which anyone can participate. If you have a disability the campus is adjusted so it’s easier for you to access the buildings. However, something I don’t like is the menu, this is because if you are someone from another religion like islam they might adjust it but the food won’t taste that good. Think of just salad, carrots, white rice.
So far this is my opinion from it, if you are someone considering applying there keep in mind the dorms are quite pricey but trust me they are willing to help you if you ask for it.

As a current student at Caldwell University, I would rate it at 3-3.5 stars. Starting with the cons before the pros, there are few but strong enough reasonings. The Caldwell University dining hall has little to no consideration for vegetarians, vegans, gluten-free, or anyone with a food allergy. They have a fridge for these dietary needs but leave the same food in their the whole week or longer so if you don't like the options, you are out of luck. Also the cross-contamination between spatula to burger to black bean burger to frying everything in the same oil is extremely inconsiderate and just careless. As well for the tuition going to the dining hall is just too high for the number of problems. As for pros, the nursing program at Caldwell is #1 rated according to nurse.org, as it should be. Aside from that it is always in the top ten. The professors, except for one, all are extremely caring, personable, and want you to succeed. If going here for nursing, you'll make the right choice
