Montclair State University Top Questions

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

Julie

The worst thing about my school is the trouble of signing up for classes. I feel like they never have enough spaces for the students who want to get into a class to fulfill a requirement. I worry that these struggles will prevent me from finishing all my classes by the end of my senior year. I do like that the classes are decently small, but I feel that this causes me to have a lesser chance of getting into a class I need.

I believe that the worst thing about my schools is the inability to travel or remain active on the weekends. With the population being roughly 90{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} commuters, there are not many options left for on-campus residents. On the weekends, trains do not run, many students are not permited parking passes, and campus shuttles do not run as frequently as they should. Many food facilities are limited to weekday use and do not leave many options at all for the seemingly "stranded" residential student body.

A lackluster support for those going for their masters and more.

Chelsea

The dining hall food is terrible. Food at the student center is ok but is much more expensive. The school accepted too many students and ended up putting around a hundred of them in a hotel. My English advisor is not very helpful and doesn't seem to care about my future. The administration faculty are not very helpful. Shuttle buses take forever. Parking is atrocious.

Elaine

The worst thing about the school is that in previous years there wasn't a lot of diversity. The latest freshman class has helped out that situation a bit thankfully.

This schools administrative staff sucks. Financial aid makes you wait forever to give you your award letter, they misplace paperwork often, and they beat around the bush when you come in to ask questions.

Elizabeth

not enough transportatio

Meredith

The administration here is somewhat disorganized. Registration for classes, housing, and meal plans is like a mad dash that leaves a lot of people unsatisfied. Because so much of it is done online, servers crash and students wind up getting shut out of housing or classes that they need.

Lauren

I feel some of the staff in various offices around campus show little concern for the students. It's disappointing.

Andrew

No one takes responsibility for changing things.
