Rowan University Top Questions

Rowan is the perfect school for someone who is looking for a school that's not too big and not too small. The school has so much to offer and has something to make everyone satisfied.

When I did a tour a year a go, I just enjoyed the environment and the feel that the school gave off. The professors and administrators I met were friendly and informative. I look forward to attending in the spring.

I am really happy with the education I got from Rowan University. The professors are excellent, and will often go far above and beyond the call of duty for their students. The atmosphere is very welcoming and friendly- from my experience in the music department, most of the time people are willing to help each other out. With any school, you'll get out what you put in- at Rowan, if you invest your time and energy wisely, the payoffs will be huge.

Best thing about Rowan is definitely the people. If you make the smallest effort to go out and meet people, you will. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Worst thing, would have to be parking.

Good school. Lots of different majors to choose from. Big D3 sports school, plenty of extracurricular activities and good teacher to student ratio.

The best thing about Rowan is that the size of the campus and classes are impressive. "You aren't just a number or another face." The professors are always looking out for the students' best interests and will not hesitate to help out however they can. Two things I would change is parking closer to dorms on the Bunce side of campus and the ability to use your daily meal plan meals at whatever time you want. When I tell people I go to Rowan, they usually have no idea where it is, which is understandable. I spend most of my time on campus, walking around Glassboro, going to the mall or driving to Philly. It is very rare that I go home. I think Glassboro is becoming more and more of a college town, there are a few shops and diners around that are worth visiting or taking a stroll over to. I think there is a lot of school pride within the school clubs, sororities and fraternities, not so much everyone else. We like it there but we don't go out of our way to yell it from the mountaintops.

The best thing about Rowan is the size of the school. There are enough students where you see different people everyday but you still see familar faces. When i tell people i go to Rowan they always ask me where it is. I spend most of my time in my apartment or friends' apartments outside of classes. Rowan is not located in a collegetown at all. We do not have much school pride, I wish we had more.

The school size is perfect, you can meet people from different majors since it is not a very big school. People usually gets together at the town bars (Landmark and Main st.) or in some friend's house (usually the best place to hang out). The curriculum program for engineering is one of the nation's best! They have a lot of interaction with the industry which gives many opportunities to get experience and jobs.

The engineering department is very good.

Rowan is a great sized school, even with the expansion that's taking place, you can walk from one end to the other in 15 minutes. As a freshman it's a little hard to find things to do within walking distance, but once you have a car on campus there are movie theaters, restaurants, a mall, and Philly all within a half hour drive.
