Montclair is a great college. Very diverse school with many interesting people, all with different backgrounds. There are always many events on campus going on at all times. They have a good bus system to get around. Parking can be quite a struggle at times tho I feel that is a main thing the school can improve on. The food on campus can also use some work-the majority of it could be a lot better. The teachers have all been wonderful and have all seemed to want to do their best to help their students succeed. There are many different club options as well which means that there is something for everyone! Overall a very nice school to be at!
what I like about Montclair State University is the fact that this university cares about their students and always will be their number one priority. They tend to hold many activities and festivities so that the students can feel as if they are home, and by doing so they are uniting all students of different backgrounds and ethnicities. Montclair will always hold concerts and make the atmosphere fun , which is something you always want in a college. Of course they are very professional and even offer help when a student isn't doing good, ensuring we all get on the right track to fulfill our dreams!
Awful.Many schools allows first semester students to choose their classes. This is the only school who screws students over by choosing random classes in their first semester and I had to switch classes and things got worst so I ended up with a 2.0 gpa after. Now a 3.2 gpa! The humanities department and philosophy department needs to understand that many students are taking their courses as “gen ed” but they still keep hiring bad professors. This is the treatment I get after moving to college.The nutrition department is broken too!There is a 1 credit 6 week class where ur required to pass a certification test with a 75 or higher or u fail the course just because of a useless certification.This whole education system and treatment of students is broken.The school care more about policies and money rather than the well being and success of students. My graduation is delayed to 21’ as well.Do not go to grad school at MSU, u’ll regret.
