William Paterson University of New Jersey Top Questions

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.
