William Paterson University of New Jersey Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Erin

I wish I would have known that there was not much to do on the weekends here. Although I do find things to do, I feel like it is routine and nothing really that exciting. It is hard to have fun here without spending a lot of money. Also, if you do not have a car and you live on campus, there is rarely anything to do on the weekends.

Morgan

Avoid people who bring unnecessary drama into your life at all costs!!!

Fabiola

I wish I would've had more information on financing options here at WPUNJ as far as tuition is concerned. I would have also wanted to know more about the different majors and their requirements.

Stephanie

Before I came to this school, I wish I would have known which major I wanted. I came to the school undecided and wasted more time taking classes I did not need, instead of taking more classes I did need because I did not know what I wanted to do.

Ruta

I wish I had known about the room assisstant option, which allows students to dorm for free (if you are hired). If I had known about this, I would have dormed on-campus. Also, I wish someone would have told me just how hard parking can be. Most students at my university choose to commute, and the parking lot can be a jungle at times. Another thing- I find the library quite noisy, especially on the first floor. I choose not to study there because of this, and because the second floor private study rooms (are quiet) are usually taken.

Tiffany

Prior to attending this school I wish had more knowledge of everthing that would be covered within the sociology department such as the research methods courses. I also would have liked to know that the music management minor has certain courses that are only offered in the summer and winter semesters.

Alan

I wished I would have known about the Nursing Pass/fail praticum

Kaci

I wish I had known about the internship program because I now know how good it is.
