Ramapo College of New Jersey Top Questions

The most frustrating thing about Ramapo is that it's not a well-known school that holds weight in it's name. While grades and academic success speaks for themselves, it seems as if they mean less to employers because the college isn't well-reknowned. At the same time, however, the quality of the education is excellent.

The most frusturating thing about my school is registering for classes. It is usually a common frustration at othe schools as well. It is most helpful to plan ahead for all classes with backups in case the clas becomes full. If you contact the professor of a class you would like to get into ahead of time, they will most likely keep a spot open for you if you have a later registration.

The only frustrating aspect is the lack of weekend activities. There are many commuters attending Ramapo and just as many students who live close enough to spend their weekends at home.

the way some of the students (white) treat me

The most frustrating thing is that many people of the Caucasian background have gone to all white schools their entire lives before this point and when they get to Ramapo, they find a handful of minorities present and call Ramapo "diverse" when, in comparison to my predominanty minority high school, Ramapo only scratches the surface on diversity. It is not all white of diversely-challenged, but it can still up its status in regards to a more diverse campus scene.

Securtiy makes it a point to bust students for alcohol. I largely believe this to be so they can increase revenue seeing that they raised the minimum fine to $100. It seems they are more interested in the violations than the welfare of the students.

Again, the most frustrating thing about this school is trying to get an appointment with your Academic Advisor.

The Most frusturating thing has to be staying up till about 4 or 5 am typing papers and/or studying for a next day test/exam. Its alot of work but in the end its worth it. Just get it over with and keep in going.
