NJIT has a beautiful campus with an abundance of areas, quiet and public, to study and do work. Many teachers have concern for their students and give them as many resources necessary to succeed. There are many tutoring, office hours, and extra help available to students in order to help them succeed in their academics. NJIT always has events going on on campus where students are encouraged to participate in. Some of the required classes are a bit unnecessary, particularly in freshman year. They can be a bit redundant and not relevant to your major-focused classes. The systems are typically organized, so time here shouldn't be too stressful, and if it is, there are many ways to alleviate that stress.
I transferred over to NJIT during the Covid-19 quarantine in 2020. While all of my classes were online the professors that I had tried their best to teach us the material and prepare us for the exams. Even trough an online learning style, students were able to socialize and help each other out in understanding the lectures. This feeling of all of us are in it together was still carried trough into my first semester taking classing in person. My professors understood that we are still adjusting to being in person and have even gone above and beyond to help us by providing recordings of lectures just like if we were online.
I was a mechanical engineering major and the calculus and physics courses for freshmen were very difficult. It gave many students a significant load of stress just graduating from high school. In other words, the learning curve was steep. Otherwise, the campus was nice, clubs were engaging, student life/events were plentiful, the campus was relatively small/med (if you prefer that), and there were no shortages of food places to choose from, esp since this area also included other universities/colleges nearby; Rutgers-Newark and Essex County College. If you're worried about safety; Newark is mildly dangerous, but there are like 4 different police forces(one per college and one city) and don't stray away from university heights and you'll be relatively safe.
