Pros: Excellent academics, professors, research opportunities, career help, athletics. Local recognition. Small school, near NYC.
Cons: Tech school = few girls, bad on-campus dining options, no national recognition.
Summary: Exactly one year ago, in April 2001, I was trying to decide on a college from those I had been accepted to. I was not going to go anywhere outside of NYC, so my choices were somewhat limited. I also wanted a good Computer Science program which further ... read more

Pros: WCPR. Hoboken (if you're over 21). Perfect if you plan to commute. NYC.
Cons: Expensive. Terrible food. Terrible professors. Sub-par social scene. No girls. School is vacant on weekends
Summary: Stevens Institute of Technology is just that, an Institute. It is not a university, not a typical college; it is a tiny school with a name that echoes around the tri-state area. The saying usually goes; you get what you give. Well… not really the ... read more

Pros: Fraternity life, the view, the occasional great professor, good education and reputation
Cons: Disgusting food, extremely challenging workload, lack of social life, no football
Summary: Coming into Stevens, the first thing that hit me was the fact that a lot of people here are geeky and have no social life. SOCIAL LIFE: Walk around the cafeteria and you're bound to hear arguments about PC vs. Mac, Windows vs. Linux, etc. If ... read more

Pros: Extreme academic rigor and comprehensive curriculum (if you are disciplined in your study habits)
Cons: Extreme academic rigor and comprehensive curriculum (if you are not disciplined)
Summary: The computer science/computer engineering program at Stevens is the best available, bar none. That may sound like a strong statement, however, there are many reasons why Stevens provides the most thorough and complete computer science education anywhere. ... read more

Pros: Very strong academic program, and the professional world knows it.

Pros: Nice campus, friendly students
Cons: No help from student service center, classes are large
Summary: You may have read my other Stevens opinion, but this one is rather different than the first. I have finally completed my first semester at this university, and I have much to say about it.
First off, the so called Student "Service" ... read more

Pros: nice view, good professors (see virtualratings.com for more commentary)
Cons: bad food, no parking, no social life, low bandwidth
Summary: I have found that this school has way too many administrators that dont do jack. It is common in this school to have a friend or two that can't attend a semester due to financial aid f'ups and/or administrators losing important forms. My personal ... read more

Pros: curriculum, location
Cons: administrative and faculty incompetence, student life
Summary: Stevens has two distinctly different sides. To the rest of the world, Stevens has everything going for it. Seemingly superb faculty and administration, excellent location, apparently lively student life, and an unparalleled research environment. Once ... read more

Pros: Excellent Quality of School
Cons: Too Many Classes
Summary: My feelings for Stevens are very mixed. On one hand, I spent some of my best time at Stevens, and other hand, my Class (1993/1994*) was very much cheated financially by the school. However, reading some of the negative reviews, I am compelled to defend ... read more

Pros: Make lots of money
Cons: Small school - no football team
Summary: It hasn't always been this easy.
When I graduated twelve years ago, the average engineer made $30k. Now, everyone makes so much more because of the Internet and explosion of technology. Most of what you learn in engineering schools is ... read more

Pros: The view, some professors
Cons: the rest of the professors, food, cleaning service
Summary: Ask a student at the Stevens Institute of Technology and they might very well tell you that the only positive part of the experience is the view from their dorm windows! Stevens is located on Castle Point in Hoboken, NJ which overlooks the Hudson River ... read more
