In addition to having the ability to walk across a gorgeous campus, there is access to a local rail-trail. The professors, both tenured and adjuncts, at the university care about sharing their knowledge with students while encouraging class discussions. If a student needs extra help, professors go out of their way to be helpful and the tutoring center is a great resource. I found the student body to be welcoming, friendly, and passionate about learning. There are a number of student organizations on campus and activities to participate in. For example, I co-hosted a radio program on campus. There are also interesting lectures that take place on campus. I highly recommend enrolling at Fairleigh Dickinson University.

You will be disappointed…read more I have no doubt that students get a stellar education and an "incandescent learning experience" at any of the various Columbia Medical Schools. To work here, however, that's a whole another story. Let me start by saying that I loved my colleagues: a lot of cutting edge, exciting scientific discoveries happen every day here, and there's a climate of collegiality and collaboration that I really enjoyed. The real problems are with the support staff; that is, with people who are paid to help me do my work[1]. For example: when we first moved into a new state-of-the-art research center[2], my bay was without heating. We moved into the new space in October; in May the following year the plant operation staff finally showed up to discover that, during the renovations, they forgot to install a heating unit. Our darkroom would often break down/flood[3]. There is an emergency number to call for any issues concerning the darkroom. Too bad nobody ever (like, never ever!) picks up the phones, returns calls, or even check their voicemail. When I tried to politely bring the issue up with the administration, this is the reply I had from Ed Johnson, Department Administrator for the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biophysics: "I am fully aware of what problems we had the room and I don't need to constantly reminded of them.". Wow... At the beginning of last year I was without salary and health insurance for 3 months. That's right: 3 months! My boss submitted all the documentations for the renewal of my contract in September; comes January I get COBRA documents in the mail, and immediately realize that something is wrong. The administration at the Pathology Department then asks my boss for all the documents again, and it takes 3 full months before the situation is rectified. Meanwhile nobody could give me a clear answer as if it was even legal for me to work there without a contract, or if I had medical coverage in case of an accident[4]. I could go on and on, but you get the picture. Any concern you may have is met with incompetence at best and indifference at worst at most, if not all, administrative levels, making doing your daily job here extremely frustrating. Moreover, nobody cares, and nobody is held responsible for any of these chronic, structural problems with Columbia administration. The motto attached in front of a couple of buildings reading "Amazing things are happening here" should read instead "Amazing: things are happening here!". --------------- [1] Except the two main administrators in the Center where I worked, who are simply awesome! In fact, they provided enormous help and support in clearing out a lot of the mess generated higher up in the administrative hierarchical chain. [2] They renovated lab space, but forgot about the bathrooms. Let's just say that, when we have potential donors visiting the center, one has to pray that they don't need to use the bathroom. I even saw a guy washing his feet in the bathroom sink. Twice. Check them out: P&S building, 5th floor. A true gem. [3] We're talking about toxic chemicals kind of flooding, here. In a room with no windows. [4] Having to deal every day with, among other things, toxic chemicals, biohazard waste, and radioactive material, this is a major concern.

Well, of course I'm going to say this is the best medical center to visit because I work here but…read morereally, they can use some help. I only say this because I've been a patient at a few different locations in the last few months and have not had the most pleasant time dealing with some of the staff. This is surprising to me considering all medical and support staff have to suffer through classes that are supposed to help improve interaction with patients, making them feel more important and less like cattle. I'm unaware if everyone has gone through the appropriate training and I'm sure they need to offer some refreshers because some of the staff I've encountered have been less than professional until I flash my ID badge so that they realize that I can hold them accountable. I often dread some of my appointments because I know I'll most likely be dealing with front desk personnel that will partake in inappropriate conversation at the desk whole people wait or just not take into account HIPAA regulations and patient privacy. It is what it is and that's way we have surveys. Please fill them out and send them back. Departments definitely take them seriously and strive to make changes.

I may be biased but I have a bad history with this place including being a victim of the well known…read more"RU screw". I could go on with my grievances all day but I'll contain myself. The Newark campus is somewhat sparse with construction constantly going on just like in New Brunswick to beautify the school. Unfortunately it doesn't look like any of that is happening and after being here for a few years it barely looks like anything has changed. It's a headache coming down here in the morning and afternoon so unless you live near campus, which also not very inviting, it's just a hassle coming here, parking is a trap if you chance it parking on the street or you pay for a parking pass which still require $5 a pop after the $30+ subscription. Bursar, admissions, administration and everything else you have to deal with all bring on migraines and while I know this could be said for any University this one is especially so. I know Rutgers is held in high regard but personally my experience has been most unpleasant and coming to Newark for class is convenient but only a lesser of 2-3 evils.

The Newark campus is nice. With the exception of the Business School, the campus is clustered…read morewithin two/three blocks. The administrative building (Blumenthal) is found on University (between Warren and Raymond). You go here for all your registration and bursar needs. The health center is also found there. Most of the buildings where you take classes are contained in the block created by University, Warren, MLK, and Bleeker. Within that square, it's convenient to go to classes. Plus, in this square block are the Dana Library and the Paul Robeson Student Center. The dorms are between Bleeker and Central. Then there are the buildings between University and Washington - Center got Law and Justice (law school and some criminal justice classes there), the parking Deck, Golden Dome Athletic Center, and other classroom buildings. There is also another Parking Deck on Washington between Raymond and Warren. If you don't have a car, there are many public transportation options. The campus is located close to the Washington Street stop on the light rail, and there are also a number of buses that will bring you close to campus. There is a lot more passive green areas and places to sit outside, than when I went to school here many moons ago. It used to be just concrete and red outdoor tables that were bolted to the ground (not as picturesque as today). I am a fan of the Rutgers-Newark Campus. Plus it's close to the Newark Museum and the Main Newark Public Library, as well as the Haynes & Co. building and other nice spots in Halsey Village.

Yet, the moment she faces college leadership, her mask slips off, replaced by shameless sycophancy. She is the absolute definition of kicking down and kissing up: an opportunist who ruthlessly abuses her authority over the powerless while groveling before those who can advance her career. This toxic behavior is being actively enabled by the Dean. Instead of addressing grievances from the marginalized, the administration turns a blind eye and rewards her flattery with unmerited honors and titles. This administrative complicity has only emboldened her, making her abuse of power worse by the day.
