Seton Hall University Top Questions

I really like Seton Hall. It is a great school with great professors and its proximity to New York City enables the students to get amazing internships.Not only is it great for work experience but it gives the students endless things to do on the weekends.Since the school is small, it is easy to find which organizations you fit into helps give a genuine community feeling. The campus is a good size so walking to classes is so easy and takes no time.

I could go on about how great this school is, but there are two things that stick out the most. One are the professors. The Professors are absolutely amazing here and they will support you and help you at just about anything! They are experts at their fields and they are all active in their fields so if something new comes along in the field you are studying you will probably be the first to know. The other thing that comes to mind is the community. We are such a welcoming community and I can personally say that I have never felt more welcomed then I do at Seton Hall

Choosing Seton Hall was the best choice I've ever made. Not only do I love the location, but I've met people that will be in my life forever and I have made memories that will last a lifetime. That said, your experience at Seton Hall is what you make of it. It is not a "college town", so you have to make your own fun. There is always a party going on, which is great for freshmen and sophomores to get to know other peoples and usually Greek organizations and sport teams. After sophomore year, the school starts to feel too small, so students look for social activities elsewhere. The local bar is great and has recently had some major competition from the other restaurants/bars in the town which keeps partying costs low. Also- the location is prime: New York city is a 30 minute train ride away, and Atlantic City is always fun for birthdays. There aren't parties on campus due to strict housing rules (Fire Safety rules set after the Boland Hall Fire) which makes students have to look elsewhere. Other than the lack of parties on campus, the campus offers many places to socialize or study during the day. The Cove is a great place to go for both since it offers food and turns into a sports bar at night (sans alcohol) during games. The library is great as well, it gets quieter as you go to the higher floors. The hours suck sometimes and it gets crowded during finals but the staff is always there to help students and alum along with members of the surrounding neighborhood. The town of South Orange doesn't really support the students but you can definitely feel pride when athletics is at a peak. One of the perks of going to SHU is their laptop program. Pro- getting a new laptop every two years that I would have had to use as a graduation gift. Con- crap out every 1.5 years

One thing that I really appreciate about Seton Hall is the challenging and interesting classes I have taken. Many of the professors who teach here have traveled all over the world and provide an incomparable classroom experience. If there was one thing I could change about Seton Hall it would be for the town of South Orange to embrace the students a little more. Seton Hall does have some really great organizations and teams to become involved in such as Greek life, sports both team and intramural, theater, and student council. Seton Hall definitely has a lot of school pride, our basketball team participates in the Big East. Going to watch our school at the prudential center is certainly exciting. I myself participate in a sorority on campus and I can honestly say it has been the most rewarding experience of my life. The friends that I have made here and the experience I have gained will shape how I look at the world indefinitely.

If your looking for a school that has good amount of students (5 thousand) and do not want to walk really far for classes, then Seton Hall's campus is perfect. Its big enough that it does not feel like high school and small enough that gives you that close-knit feel. One thing that I would like to change is the students going home on the weekends. Many New Jersey students go home on the weekends which is pretty lame. However there are still a good amount of students on campus and out of state students always stay. South Orange is a college town with really good food. ( go to the Gaslight Brewery). I have to be honest there isn't much school pride even though Seton Hall is Division One. Pretty Good Basketball team.

The best thing about Seton Hall is the location! We are located within 15 miles of NYC, it's only a short train ride away. It makes weekends great and the internship and job opportunities are overwhelming.

Seton Hall is a Catholic University which was founded on the premise of Servant Leadership. I feel that the best thing about SHU is that it is a Medium sized campus and a very tight nit community. It is small enough so that you can walk across campus and see 3 or 4 friends on your commute to class, but big enough so that you meet different people everyday. Its also a D1 school which makes the sporting events very exciting to attend. The Big Eat is a very competitive conference, and our Men's Basketball games are great to watch. They have their moments of fame, and even though they aren't the best team in the nation, they are playing with the best too.

Seton Hall is a medium sized university but we're definitely small. You can walk from one side of campus to the other in 15 minutes. And you almost always see at least one person you know while walking across campus although you'll usually see about 10 people you know. I like the feel of the campus, it's laid back and open. The faculty is close with their students and always willing to help. You can make the most of any situation, but I've never had to do that at Seton Hall.

Seton Hall is an ok school. There are to many restrictions in my perspective. I wish I had have known more when I came on my visit than I know now because I would have given my decision a second thought. I absolutely hate the cafeteria food. I have traveled to many other schools for my sport and sometimes we eat in the cafeteria's and their selections as well as the cafeteria are absolutely fabulous. When people hear Seton Hall they assume that its a party school which is absolutely false because there is not much around for students to do here. Everything is so far and I am not really a fan of South Orange so a lot of the students have to travel to NY just for some entertainment. Seton Hall administration is ok. Professors I have no clue where they find them at but there are a select few who I have taken who are very very good and you really like and appreciate especially being that a lot of the professors here cant teach or either don't care but expect you to learn or teach yourself. The most complaints at this school are the food and the professors in my opinion. I don't even think I eat in the caf anymore two years of that and I am through with it. I actually lost weight not eating in the caf for some reason it adds weight onto the students.
