Montclair State University

Pros: Showed diversity, unity, and school spirit.
Cons: Terrible Parking and signs for getting around and out of the campus.

As a partner in an entertainment company I get to visit about two dozen or so schools a year. My experience with these schools is primarily that of working with whoever may be in charge of student activities, having fun with the particular students that ...

Pros: good programs for majors, on campus life
Cons: parking, weekends

I am a sophomore, soon to be junior, at Montclair State University and enjoyed my experiences here as well as been disappointed with some of them.

This is definitely mainly a commuter school. I'd say a good 3/4 of this school is probably...

Pros: Variety in majors
Cons: parking

I attended Montclair State University for 3 years on a part time basis, at night. It is located in Upper Montclair, New Jersey and offers scenic view of the New York City skyline. The campus is small and picturesque which makes getting to each class...

Pros: Excellent Academics and Teacher Ed. Program
Cons: Not much social life

Pros: good professors, good classes, low tuition
Cons: bad dorms, bad food, horrible admissions, financial aid & registrar offices

I attended Montclair State University for two years before transferring.
The overall education offered by the school was a good one, however, I had several problems with the school. I want to mention, that I do not discourage anyone from considering...

Pros: Diverse, small classroom size, clean campus, school is improving, close to NYC
Cons: mostly mediocre students, not challenging, no school spirit, no traditions, almost no social events

Every school advertises itself as being a good place to attend. Personally, Montclair lies. They do not offer that which they claim to have, if they do I have yet to see it. I have yet to meet a person who actually likes the school after attending it...

Pros: More involved with campus life
Cons: below normal living conditions

Oh my goodness. Montclair State has the most terrible dorms on earth. There is student housing right on the campus itself and then senior housing "apts." right off the campus. The dorms on campus, especially Freeman which is as old as the...
