This college is perfect for me, personally. It is definitely a good choice if you're looking for a smaller school and a very tight-knit community. Everybody on campus is genuinely nice, the classes are perfect sizes, the teachers really care about your success, and they have great opportunities for everyone on campus - there truly is something for everybody. Specifically for my major, social work, the university offers so many unique opportunities, like 4 internships over my 4 years, to make my education the best it could be. The only downfall is as a commuter, I do find it kind of hard to participate in clubs and organizations because the times just don't fit my schedule, but there is always the commuter council to be a part of! I definitely don't regret my decision to enroll here as I go into my sophomore year.
If you are a transfer student, do not come to Western New England. I’m going into my senior year of the CJ program, this will thankfully be my final year attending the university. I have felt that since day 1 I have been jumping through obstacle after obstacle each year to finish my degree on time. The school’s course offerings for the CJ program seem as if they’re a joke. You have no real time to try anything else in the program other than satisfying their requirements to graduate. I had been slightly ahead the first two years and decided to try out the biology program for kicks, and ever since then I have been trying to catch back up in the CJ program. They do not encourage you to try anything other than the program you choose when you’re fresh out of highschool. Which nobody has any clue of what they want at that age. I have friends in the Westfield State CJ program that do not have any similar problems. If you have to choose, I would’ve picked Westfield State.
I have loved my time at Western New England University, from the professors to the campus, everything is just so welcoming. The campus itself is very beautiful, and during spring time especially so, as there are these gorgeous trees in the center of campus that bloom a lovely shade of pink, making the morning walk to class very lovely. The professors are all very helpful, with many staying late hours after class to offer their time to help students out with their work. All in all, its a great school and I love it!
