As a incoming junior at Seton Hall, there are many things i have learned over my years. Some aspects that Seton Hall could improve on is their dining services, food is often inedible due to the fact that it is of low quality. The campus is decent, nothing extraordinary. The environment it is in unfortunately is crime ridden, this means that occasional thefts do take place. My overall experience has been good, due to the fact that the professors are intellectual and affable. However, being that Seton Hall is a commuter populated school, the dorms and overall student life for those on campus is sub-par to other universities. Some aspects that i enjoy are the basketball games and the recreational center; Seton Hall also like many other colleges has a lot of clubs for one to get involved in. Overall, Seton Hall is not the most affordable place to study, but if the scholarship is good enough i would highly recommend that you go ahead and become a Pirate!
I am currently a sophomore at Seton Hall University and I absolutely love it here. The campus is beautiful, the student community is close-knit and accepting, the professors are involved, caring and patient and the student-life is full of life and excitement with the campus's various clubs, organizations and programs offered! I would absolutely recommend attending Seton Hall University as it has changed my life for the better with the friends that I have made, the professors I have met and the memories that I will have for a lifetime!
Seton Hall is truly a university for people of any background, from any state/country in the world. SHU has representation from every state in the US and 70 countries. While based in Catholicism, SHU has almost a 50% diversity rate and welcomes people of any faith or belief system. Seton Hall athletics is one of the best parts of campus life. With 14 D1 sports teams there is always a game to watch and cheer on. The men's basketball team plays at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ and they play in the Big East Conference. Going to basketball games is a highlight of the school year!
Overall, social life on campus is awesome. There is always stuff to do on campus during the week and the weekends. Greek life is available on campus but will not make or break your experience. Like any school, it all depends on your willingness to put yourself out there - and SHU provides more than enough opportunities to do so.
Also, the FOOD is good! There are so many options and they change everyday.
