Kean was not my first choice, I wanted to go somewhere else but my guidance consular thought it would be best for me to go to Kean, and I'm really happy I followed his advice. Kean is a really good school, it's affordable and for the past three years I've had an overall great experience. I'm a Biology major and I've enjoyed a lot of the courses I have taken not only are they interesting, but I have had some incredible professors. The professors I've had were nothing but kind and helpful and I've never felt that I have had a horrible experience with any of them. I've lived on campus since I've started, and it’s been a pretty good experience. The dorms themselves are pretty nice and pretty affordable. When I first went to Kean I was afraid I wasn't going to enjoy my experience but I'm happy to say that since I've been their it’s been great!
I haven't taken any online classes for Kean University. However, I have attended zoom meetings about certain announcements. These meetings are very informative and professional, your questions are always answered!
In general, learning everything completely online is a but difficult. Especially when you are a design major like me, and have a lot of hands on projects. However the professors made it really easy and comforting to learn this way during these times. They understand if we have to listen to class while driving or cooking, and understand if we may not have the right or specific materials to do a project/follow along in class. If we arrive late to class, there are no consequences because learning from home can be unpredictable, with wifi connections or having your laptop die suddenly.
