Montclair State University Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Montclair State University? Why?

Vanessa

No financial aid for graduate students...this is not just for this school. This is for all schools that I apply to. There are a lot of promises on the fafsa, but then you receive nothing but loan options.

The worst thing about my school is the food. I personally hate school food so i'm allowed to say that. they have their moments and sometimes they don't.

Construction. While new additions to buildings are great, the mess and clutter it involves is not. Especially for new students, getting to know the campus is difficult when it is constantly changing. Sometimes the renovations are simple, but when they are significant just as adding a wing to a building, the horizon's appearance changes. The best way to learn a school is to see it totally stripped down. Seeing MSU that way doesn't come easy. It's always expanding.

One of the worst things i consider at Montclair is the lack of financial aid available for prospective students and the lack of help they provide. They do give adequate amounts of aid but they staff is not that sympathetic or friendly.

For the amount of commuting students that attend there are not nearly enough parking opportunities for students. There should be more on campus parking opportunies and the parking permits should not be as expensive as they are. Parking should be somewhat included in our tuition, rather than 200 dollars per semester for parking.

The worst thing about the school is that it is expensive.I can not adequatly meet the financial obligation of attendingf the school.

The absolute worst thing about Montclair State is the campus food. Unfortunately, there are plenty of unhealthy choices to make, and no where near enough healthy choices. Gaining the “freshman 30” instead of the “freshman 15,” believe me when I tell you that it is in your best interest to stick to whole wheat bagels and hard boiled eggs. There definitely needs to be a change within the dining services. There are too many temptations to eat poorly, and obesity is already a growing problem in America. If you plan to attend MSU, please be conscious of your health.

The worst thing about my school is the price. I was blessed enough to have Financial Aid cover most of it but it's too expensive to live on campus and its hard to make the commute because everything is so easily accessible when you live on campus.

Melissa

I believe that the worst thing about Montclair State University would have to be that it is not in a town that is easily accessable. There are many colleges out there that are in a town that students can walk to whereas Montclair you need a bus. If it was in an accessable town i believe it might give students a little more freedom while also maybe helping them to become more independant, like having to shop on their own and manage money.

At the time, there was not enough parking. Now there is plenty of parking.
