I am currently a senior at Seton Hall double majoring in Diplomacy and International Relations, and Economics. During my time at Seton Hall, I have been able to grow as a student and as a person. Being a diplomacy student, the small class sizes and emphasis on a discussion based course structure helped me get to know my fellow class mates and professors. Professors are knowledgeable and often have career experience which is a valuable resource, especially if you need recommendations. It also helped me become more comfortable at public speaking, which I was able to utilize more when I became involved in Model UN. There are many, diverse student run clubs and organizations you can become a part of; in which you meet new people and can eventually pursue a leadership position. Lastly, the Career Center helps student with resumes, applications, and interview practice, which helped me get an internship! Seton Hall gave me a supportive environment so I could pursue all of these things.
Seton Hall University is an amazing institution to attend for any form of education and involvement. One of the most important aspects of a college, when I was looking, was being able to join clubs with ease and have activities to partake in. We have over 150 clubs and organizations to get involved with, as soon as the first week of freshmen year, such as Harry Potter Club, the Filipino League at Seton Hall (FLASH), to Student Government. If nothing peaks your interest, you can also start your own club! Our Student Activities Board (SAB) hosts a lot of events on and off-campus, in the city, and around town as well. In addition to our campus involvement, our classes are very engaging and the professors are always willing to lend an extra hand in supporting us as students. Seton Hall is such an inclusive environment and will always ensure that a family environment is implemented on campus! :)
Whether it's academics, atmosphere or attitude, Seton Hall has checked off every box for me when I was looking for a school. The classroom environment is not only challenging and motivating, but extremely welcoming with professors who give great advice and know how to fully take care of their students. Outside of the classroom, the campus is always a buzz with different organizations holding events in order to provide students with a way to get out of their dorm, and make friends! Even if you're not involved in a club or organization, there are plenty of things to do both on and off campus such as basketball games, visiting the village, or even making the jump into New York City! Personally coming from a Catholic school, I loved seeing symbols of Catholicism in and around campus, as well as the smaller classroom sizes. In my second year here at Seton Hall, I still would not want to be anywhere else, and love every minute of my time here on campus!
