What are the academics like at your school?
There are too many professor that I like. Honestly being a Gen. Sci major I have taken quite a few classes. More Science classes, but I must say that I enjoyed Survey of African History, Art, and Medical Terminology, maybe because I really got to speak my mind and did not get a no no for giving my own opinions about something. Students are competitive when it comes to taking a certain class, a lot of us are all worry about the infamous GPA, we tell each other from time to time, don't take this professor. But sometimes each experience is different, my Academic advisor is cool, he is also a professor and a Dr in the Education, he teach Biology so he understand my struggles. Some of the classes aren't geared towards jobs, it makes you wonder why do I need Calculus if I want to become a doctor. Again it depends on who you hang with, each conversation will be intellectually different.

What is your overall opinion of this school?
ECC is a very good school with good professors, excellent professors, bad professors, and the professors who need to retire. My overall opinion about the school is that it has treated me fairly well, because I have come across some difficult professor but I always study hard and not quit. People will disagree with me, but each individual has there own experiences. The best thing is there welcome back feast, that are held outside, you get to meet new people and learn about different clubs at that. Another good thing is the tools that are at your fingertips, because you either use them or not.. The school is located in the heart of a major city, You can not only study in that library, but NJIT, Rutgers, and even Seton Hall. This is a good school who cares for the students, The most frequent complaints are Financial Aid and the overpriced food that isn't much of a selectivity. They are always having educational forums, concerts, fashion shows. A cool new thing is that we now have Greek life on campus as well.

What kind of person should not attend this school?
Honestly I can't really think of the kind of student that wouldn't strive at Essex County College, un less you are a student who aren't going to apply yourself to your studies. If your recieving financial aid or is paying for school out-of pocket and you're not applying yourself, that just shows that you are a student who is undeserving of going anywhere for that matter because you're not taking your education seriously. And is depriving yourself of who you can become to the upmost.

What are your classes like?
Are very hard? Pharmacology is a lot of reading and takes time from what you want to do. I recommend that class for future Doctors, Nurses, PA, Pharmacist, so that when you do go to that next level it won't be all that overwhelming. My other class are hard to but I have found ways to spread out the craziness and achieve what needs to be achieved, Everything takes work, and nothing comes easy, its just how you make it for yourself,. Chemistry need constant understanding. Also my CIS class is awesome and is really easy, especially if you pay attention and is always at a computer.
