New Jersey city university is subpar. I am currently a sophomore and looking towards transferring out of the school because for the past two years I have had so much trouble communicating with administrators. I had problems with financial aid and I was on hold for two hours on the phone to try to get into contact with somebody from their office, I had a preset appointment scheduled with an advisor that was on zoom and the advisor never logged on, and the only way I was able to get anything addressed was to be persistent and email deans and higher up. Some professors were great and they were very attentive and helpful but others were absolutely horrible and they had no empathy for students. The student life is okay; it is not a party school and the surrounding areas can be dangerous. This would only be an okay school to attend if you have an independent learning style and do not need help, guidance, or resources from professors, administrators, counselors, or any school resources.
I graduated with an accounting major from the School of Business (which is separate from the main campus), and with the exception of a very few bad apples most of the professors there know their stuff, are willing to answer questions, and encourage students. I definitely feel like my time (especially my senior year) helped prepare me for my job and in general the industry I'm currently working in.
At the same time, my experience shouldn't be taken as reflective of NJCU's quality as a whole. Most business school students have little to no interaction with the main campus beyond general education requirements, so I'm only limiting my review to the School of Business.

I’ve had an average experience with NJCU. Of course the professors are incredible and do what they can with limited resources. But admissions and financial aid have made it very difficult for me. They raised the tuition during a pandemic of people unemployed, sick and dying. That speaks volumes!
