New Jersey City University has helped me get my educational career back in order. Everyone has had an involvement in motivating me to reach my goals. I was taught how to be resilient, and for this, I will forever be grateful. Overall, I have had an amazing experience, and now, I get to pursue an MBA in Organizational Leadership and Management in the same institute! Words can't explain. What a blessing.
My experience at NJCU was very good. I started my college career in august of 2018 since I was part of the EOF(Educational Opportunity Fund) program. That program made a huge impact in my academics by reinforcing them. Also, during this program, I had the opportunity to met multiple individuals such as counselors and tutors who helped me have a successful freshman year.
Besides this incredible experience, what I liked most about NJCU was the professors this university posses. The professors were extremely polite and respectful with every student and in each class. Aside of their outstanding teaching skills, they also taught the students about life. The professors provided the student with guidance, advices and tips in order to be successful and become better individuals in the future. Personally, I didn't consider them as professors but mentors.
To conclude, I would like see more security in campus and I also a better cleaning maintenance in the classrooms.

During the summer, I was in the OSP Summer Bridge Program, and I can honestly say that I had learned so much from everyone. I made a lot of friends, learned new things and had my mentality grow even bigger. It has made me stronger in some subjects, and I thank NJCU for giving me this opportunity to be in the program. It has prepared me for the school year and has made me excited for this fall and spring semesters!
