Rowan University Top Questions

Rowan University has many of its building near each other, which makes it easy to get from class to class. The farthest you would have to walk is maybe 15 minutes . There is also a small town that has restaurants that you can walk to. Which is nice to have so you are not always eating the same food everyday.

Nothing.

Rowan University is one of the institutions that I would label as a "sleeper". People that don't live within the region usually aren't familiar with the school. However, it is one of the best schools in the state and is only growing, including an enormous local Barnes and Noble . It is a small community with a small tightnit group of students who just want to see their peers succeed. I was not sure I would be able to get this at Rutgers New Brunswick or University of Pittsburgh in which both are much more massive in size.

On the outside, Rowan may seem like an ordainary state school, lacking in the perks other campuses may have. Rowan may not have fancy dorms, amazing food and other things, but the money they do have they put into our education. I feel as though I am receiving a great education from professors who are very knowledgable and caring. Through the different clubs I have joined, I have met new friends and have had great experiences. Compared to other schools, Rowan really cares abour our education, and they do what they can to make sure we receive what we deserve.

The amount of money paid for the education recieved was well worth it. It was also very cheap compared to other schools in the state. Rowan is also in a great location. It is close to Philadelphia and New York City. So, after graduation there are many potential jobs all close to the school. It also had a small student to teacher ratio for the biology department, which I found made learning easier.

Previously I attended two colleges that were very different from each other. One was in rural Kentucky the other in downtown Chicago. One was a large art school with few majors and the other a small university with many similar majors. Rowan is the best of both worlds. It is mid-sized with a campus feel in a suburban atmosphere and has many diverse majors. It is also rapidly growing with many donors to help fund better education for everyone.

Rowan is extremely accepting; it feels very "homey." It is the perfect size - not too big or too small - which definitely contributes to the familial environment. I also feel that Rowan's students and faculty genuinely care about each other and the school as a whole. Rowan's environment is truly enjoyable and caring, something that I did not pick up from the other schools I visited and applied to.

It is small and like another home.

It's very competative for several of its major but it still smaller and many students can commute from home. Also great variety in age because it is a commuter school

Rowan University is unique because it gives students many options other than going out to a party. At Rowan there is a program called Rowan After Hours also known as RAH. This program is student run and provide numerous safe, fun activities for students to do every night of the weekend. The best part is it is free. Also, if you do end up going to a party Rowan has Safe Ride, security cars that will pick you up and drop you off so you do not have to walk around campus and nearby streets in the dark.
