I’m loving my college experience at Kean! It’s only about an hours and 15 min North of my hometown, so it’s nice to be able go home if I’d like. I play women’s volleyball for Kean, so that is a huge part of my experience. I’ve made lifelong friend within my teammates. My major is elementary education & Kean’s education department is excellent. My professors are easily available at all times & always steer me in the right direction when i need help with classes.
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!
The people at Kean are very nice and welcoming and as freshman I haven't had ay problems with any people, everyone has been very helpful when I needed help finding classes and I appreciate that. The buildings are large and very pretty, finding classes is a little time consuming but its not as cramped as a highschool might be, also adding to the fact of being COVID-19 friendly. My professors are very welcome and very nice especially since everyone is getting adjusted to the new COVID-19 policies, no teachers have given me a hard tim e. Everyone is very on board with COVID-19 rules and regulations making it easy to feel comfortable and safe when entering the building, at all times even when off campus people are wearing masking and its nice to know people are taking COVID-19 as serious as it is. The diversity I think is very good in the school because there is not one set race on campus making it good to be able to meet new people and experience other cultures.
