Rowan University Top Questions

Honestly, the school is great. I have been to three other schools, and Rowan ranks number one by far. The faculty are great, the classes are small and challenging the food is alright, and the opportunities are endless. I think the biggest problem here are some of the students. They love to complain about anything they can. It may be a generational thing, but sometimes, I think a lot of the complainers here need to grow up. Rowan is a great school to go to.

Rowan University is the perfect sized school. There are rarely over 30 students in my classes so it is easy to understand the material and ask questions. Also it is big enough to where I see new faces every day.

personally, i like how different the location of rowan is compared to my hometown. it's a more relaxed, laid back atmosphere down here. the people are friendly, and everyone seems to get along.

I would definitely change the food - I haven't eaten in the cafe since freshman year and I'm glad of it. I think a lot of times the administration doesn't work with students, there seems to be a huge dichotomy between what we need or ask for and what we're given. School pride varies between the cheerleaders who are ridiculous and the kids who probably couldn't tell you the name of the college if you asked.

The best thing about Rowan is the location to Philly. It's really convenient for internship purposes and nightlife. I also like the size of the campus. I thought about going to a large university for the longest time and on rainy and bitter freezing cold days I'm so thankful that I didn't! One thing I would change is the cafeteria menu on weekends- they don't offer as much as they do on weekdays, but my friends and I just save our 'Boro Bucks to order take-out on weekends. We end up having a lot of fun on those nights just because we're doing something different. On another note, don't fear the construction. We're trying to expand the campus, but it should be completed in 2010. Also, it's far enough from the dorms that you can't hear it. Most minor construction that was happening on campus is already completed. As part of the project, Rowan is building a Barnes & Noble and a Starbucks, along with other college-town stuff.
