I really have enjoyed my experience so far at NJCU. They are extremely welcoming and I really felt comfortable with all of my professors. They are understanding and will work with you through everything. Overall, the campus and people are so nice. The school feels like home and not like a huge campus where you can sometimes feel like a small fish in a sea. There are so many opportunities and clubs here that they offer. It is an amazing university!
New Jersey City University is perfect for students who enjoy nature and small classroom sizes. Most students commute to school so it is a bit hard to participate in the array of student activities available unless you stay at the dorm. The professors from Political Science department are great! It is worth applying if you have good SAT scores for sure.
I'm a psychology major and I was looking to get into graduate school. I needed to attain research experience and NJCU offered me an internship for the summer in research. This experience prepared me greatly for grad school and I got into my desired graduate program. NJCU also gave me medicine classes from a different university so I can earn certificates and improve my resume. On top of that, EOF in NJCU was extremely helpful and got students involved by taking us to Broadway shows in New York, the movies, and even a ceremony for those who were graduating. I think NJCU is underrated, the help I received here was immense and I couldn't be more thankful.
