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.

Many factors come into play when choosing a college. For me, the three most important things I looked at were programs that were direct and convenient, the cost, and the ability to make my own mark. Personally, I want to become a Speech-Language Pathologist, and Seton Hall University (SHU) provided me with a program that not only guarantees a direct path into my dream but it also allows me to get multiple degrees along the way. SHU acknowledges that they are a private school, and that tuition rates are increasing annually. Thus, lots of the aid is provided through the school based on one's academic standard and different need-based grants are given to those in need, even to parents' whom also paying for their other children's education. Last but not least, the size of SHU is ideal for standing out and make a mark, especially as a minority. Faculty and students at Seton Hall wants you to succeed and want to help you achieve your goals. SHU is as genuine as it gets! Go Pirates!
Seton Hall is an extremely welcoming community, and a place where I have been able to grow personally and academically. Classes are enriching and challenging, without being unmanageable. With the opening of a health sciences campus however, it requires that dual degree students who have moved on to the graduate side of the program need to commute to an entirely separate campus in Nutley, NJ. With a frustratingly severe lack of communication about the new campus, students moving there in the fall have very little information. Overall, however, I would not trade my last 3 three years as a Seton Hall Pirate for anything.
