Fairleigh Dickinson University-Metropolitan Campus

I enjoyed my time so much at FDU for my masters program that I am returning for a doctorate. Many of the professors here are highly qualified and challenge students to get the most out of their education. The small class sizes allow for teacher-student interaction, and overall, a better grasp of the material taught. This allows for immediate feedback and more of a seminar rather than lecture type setting.

If you are looking for a school to get your degree and cry about the high grade point average needed to pass and do nothing else on campus, Fairleigh Dickinson is the place for you. It is not commuter friendly, no parties, and less than average food served at the Sub for residents. It is considered a dry campus and you will most likely graduate without ever remembering another student's name or have any recollection of what college life was about due to the lack of experience. However, the people who do graduate from FDU tend you be very successful. Especially in the Nursing career since we have the highest NCLEX pass rates in NJ. You will be successful, just don't expect to get much out of the "college experience".

Pretty good.

I love the atmosphere of the campus and I really love the overall attitude of the student body. Staff and Professors are truly supportive and the resources are abundant. I am a Student Ambassador, so I get to represent and showcase the University to all kinds of prospective students, and I love my job. Students here are respectful of each other's cultures and are very active in the community.

I extremely fell for this school. After a long decision process, I finally realized that this was the school I wanted to commit to for the next few years. The campus housing is great, the food is great, the academics and extracurriculars are definitely something I am looking forward to.

I feel comfortable and safe in school. I love my professors so far. They are all very nice and relatable. They help very much in achieving our goals, short term or long term. They usually have their office hours in their syllabus but they also put a number or email we can contact then at other times. I love that because sometimes we need a little guidance for issues in school or personally. I’m happy to be a student there.

I think that Fairleigh Dickinson is a fairly decent school. One may hear that there is no social life or not much to do on the weekends, however, I think that college is what you make it. If you are active on campus and make an effort to make friends, join clubs, etc there is ALWAYS something to do.

I only attended for my two semesters. Overall, I did not enjoy my experience there much. I was unable to connect with any of the students that I spoke with and my commute was terrible. Also, there weren't many clubs that I was interested in. I did like most of the professors that I had and most of the other staff members are nice. Also, the campus is easy to navigate.

Fairleigh Dickinson University at Metropolitan Campus in Teaneck is overall a great University to attend to. I am happy to be part of this University and looking forward to being a graduate and alumni. It is close by to my home to attend, the overall campus feels safe and easy to find everything. This is where I want to receive my bachelor and be proud to attend a successful University like this.

fairleigh ridiculous university is an overpriced university for a private sector, has mediocre professors and mostly consist of a careless staff that you're likely to land a job a cashier either way after graduation. the teaneck campus is the worst of the lot, while you may hear the apologetic rhetoric that "it's what you make it to be" life on campus, it is quite quiet and lonely to the point there's no creative diversity. try spending a semester and you will experience it. the engineering faculty is the worst as well as their dean, Albert Schielke, who is known by students as cruel and un charismatic dean who sits all day at his office and smoke pot outside while laughing with Duane Edwards how pathetic the students are in studying elsewhere to get a better GPA when he knows some faculty members dont teach and are assigned to fail students in a goal to retain the students once they find out the decadent information and poor service lecturers give to the masses. Alfredo Tan is an insecure and overly sensitive director whose curriculum is outdated and the rest of the engineering faculty are not qualified to teach "real world" material on which in fact doesn't relate to what engineering grads engage after graduation. It seems that the indian majority to give false praises to them since they hope to land a job with their recommendation letter, most of the time they won't and will try to find jobs out of state. career services teaches old resume' templates but when you're out competing with better reputation institutes , it is hard to land the job of your dreams. It was a waste of time and I have tried to transfer out as well as other classmates when we found out their "retention strategy" consisting of failing students and keeping them so they can continue this worthless piece of a diploma mill education that lobbied its way to be called a university. Long story short, there's some professors that teach one subject and if you fail you will be forced to retake it and probably end up failing again, you cant take those studies elsewhere or Albert Schielke will find a way to make your life miserable and lecture you among his blind audience that FDU is better than other universities and therefore you shouldnt take courses since those professors outside are not qualified. it's rubbish at the end. and I didn't go for the petty "global education" motto they advertised, it's a long complicated reason why I ended up there and it was a intended to have been a 1 semester gig, but got stuck in the end. cafeteria food is mediocre, and kissing @ss to faculty wont land you a job. question their professionalism and initiatives, even though you will loose as others before you have.

I have only been there a semester, but I can feel a family growing for me as a home away from home. I moved to this area from southern Indiana, so it was a big change for me, but everyone is extremely nice, and I have found it fairly easy to get involved. I work a lot though, so the extracurriculars in the fitness center are hard for me to participate in.

it has given me the biggest opportunity that I could hope for. if it were not for the school and the programs it offers I would not be going to college. they do not only support their community but as well as the minorities from all over New Jersey creating programs that allow them to go to school, with less stress on their financials.

The professors in the humanity and political science department ate phenomenal. Every professor I've had all love the subjects they teach, and it SHOWS. The dorms suck however. I can't speak about any dorm but the lindens, but only 2 maybe has been remodeled. Freshman can't choose where to go I believe. Events or activities are frequent. Discounted prices for sports games, amusement parks, etc, are normal to see.

A friendly , safe environment.

Overall, I enjoy being at FDU. I like the atmosphere, the people and the campus as a whole. Beign a part of a sorority has helped me make friends and extend myself. The class sizes are small so the professors get to know each student. I would recommend FDU to anyone.
