Montclair State University Top Questions

That upon driving to school the parking situation is not as convenient as I would like it to be. Then I have to pay for parking and then use the shuttle bus to go from class to class.

The worst thing about my school is that even though the diversity level is extremely high people don't interact enough with people outside their ethnicity erase. I try my hardest to stop that.

My school is located in the suburbs, so the homogenous nature of such schools can be frustrating. While it is surely more diverse than other schools in the area, it lacks the diversity in age, ethnicity, and background that make for an exciting, interesting, and beneficial learning experience in and out of the classroom.

THE PARKING!!! Since my school is such a commuter school parking is terrible!! It is so hard to find a spot when you need it. Also being able to live on campus can be difficult at times, if you don't get your deposit in early FORGET IT! You will be waitlisted!

The social life. If you are not apart of a frat or anything like that it is extremly difficult to make friends because there are no social events for everyone. It is very dissapointing because the school has so much to offer but does nothing about it. Another example is over the weekends everyone who lives there goes home and we have New York city less then ten minutes away from our school and have our own two train stations however the trains do not run on the weekends. There are alot of social difficulties at MSU especially for commuters.

My school is heavily a commuter school and therefore things aren't open as late or available as much around the clock and ESPECIALLY on weekends. The campus is pretty empty on weekends.

The worst thing about my school is that many construction projects take longer than they were originally supposed to. This happened with our new Student Recreation Center, our School of Music building, and the Panzer basketball gym.

The quality of on campus living, the dorms did not have hot water for nearly 2 months, the air conditioning didn't work, and I was paying extra for it. And in turn the heat would be blasting to the point where you would be so stuffy and it would get people sick. Also the value of the on campus amenities. The amount of money we pay for our dorms/meal plans is not worth the return. Our food was never really any good, and the people who worked the counters were always rude and unhappy.

I was an out of state student, there were a lot of in state students because it is a state school. I think there could have been more of a diversity of where the students came from.

th eworst thing about my school is probably the amount of students in each class but that is improving as each school year goes by and the amount of classes they make available to students so that they can take the classes when they need them.
