Montclair State University Top Questions

Most the classes are small like 30 people at the most where the professor knows your name and everyone else knows you too.

The arts programs are highly recognized and supported by the administration.

okay so this is basically a really good school if you're a commuter and interested in just getting a degree and getting out. it also has a really good musical theatre program, but even still... i kinda wish i could take back my 2 years of living on campus and being bored, but it's too late now!

I only applied to small schools, in search for a community feel. At Montclair State University, I have definitely found it. With a large commuter population, the on-campus portion allows you to see many of the same people from time to time, allowing you to mix groups of friends and create new friends within them. It has opened my eyes to individual personalities from different students who come from all over the state and many of New Jersey's bordering states.

The campus is in a fairly suburban area but has easy access to the city.

All the colleges I considered were out of state, and I even attended one of them before transferring to Montclair State. I think this school was different, because it is close to home for me, and also in a city enviroment. It puts a lot of emphasis on "Greek Life" as well, which the other schools I considered did not; however, I am not in a sorrority and there is no pressure to pledge. Everyone is invited to their sponsored events, regardless of affiliation.

Montclair offers a lot of choice, and it is much more welcoming then the other schools I applied to. I feel very comfortable and that I received a benefitting education over the years. Going to Montclair helped me to shape my future and become the best I can be.

This school has smaller class sizes and is concentrated on one campus, as opposed to several different campuses. It was also cheaper than the other colleges I considered.

I didn't really consider anywhere else. The music program is excellent.
