William Paterson University of New Jersey Top Questions

WPU is a very good school accept for its very expensive tuition fees and living cost,

Students should be provided with more flexible schedules and be given the option to have access to classes throughout the entire school year. My school should have more winter and summer classes available to fit into the schedules of students that need to balance work and study. With this new availability, students will be able to fulfill their educational goals without having to stop their schooling for a semester or having to wait for a class to be available that fits into their work schedule.

The worst thing about my school is that a lot of students are commuters instead of campus residents.

I have nothing negative to say about the college because I always look at the postives

I believe the worst thing about Willy P would be the food. The food isn't bad in the sense of taste, but in the health value. The food court consists of Burger King, Sabbaros, a chinese section, Quiznos snd sushi. The dining hall food isn't exactly appetizing and the best thing in the dining hall is usually greasy. The problem with the food is that the healthy foods aren't delicious but the foods you really shouldn't be eating are delicious and that is how you get "Freshman 15".

Some of the exam questions are complicated and misleading

Parking, there never is any.

At times, immature students who need to grow up and keep back to college later.

The worst thing would be the tuition. After that, it's just getting there, which can be a slight problem, but at least I can get there.

It's far from where I live so I end up taking classes online or at the sateite school.

The weekends are boreing, you have to create your own fun.

My school is great. I would tell any new student coming in to be prepared for the rising cost of attendance. That to me seems like the worst thing happening in all schools especially mine. seeing as it is already expensive to attend.

The worst thing about William Paterson is the weekends. Students who live on campus will agree with me when I say there is absolutely nothing to do on the weekends. Because there are alot of students who commute, and students who go home on, so there is nobody there. If you don't have a car your left bored in your room. There is no activities to engage in on the weekend, unless you go to the gym.

I consider the atrocious parking situation on campus to be the worst thing to this school. There is not enough parking for commuters which in turn keeps us from getting to class on time. If room and board was not so expensive maybe we could afford living on campus to by pass this parking situation.

The high costs of tuition yet the resources/ equipment at the school is not close to being new.

I feel that the worst thing about my school is the advisement. Many students have complained of the lack of help with their advisors. Sometimes, it is very hard to reach the appointed person or it is hard to even get them to help you. I wish that there was someone who actually seemed to want to help me instead of avoiding me.

In order to go to the Power arts building on campus, i need to catch the shuttle bus, and this takes up time and is not so good in the cold weather, or when theres too many people in the shuttle bus. it would have been better if there was one big art building instead of two art buildings being sepearated from eachother in long distances. using the shuttle bus to get to class can get me late to class.

Not enough activities.

There is no train station around. The office usually messes up student's paper work.

The offices in charge of sending out transcripts and other forms needed for things like scholarships and such are not as organized as they could be. They have often been delayed in requests that I have had.
