Out of thousands of students of my school, I was fortunate to go on a trip with 20 others for…read moreBrookdale Community College's Male Minority Conference / Initiative. We were served two meals, breakfast and lunch, along with a motivational speech to start us off and the communcations / media breakout room I went to afterward that just gave helpful life times, pretty general for any medium you want to be a part of. Starting off with the breakfast I enjoyed my everything bagel, chocolate donut, and orange juice. Let me just not go with that combo of the last two again. Next, for brunch I had sausage, eggs, a muffin, bacon, and potatoes. A lot of the food itself doesn't really look appetizing, but then again, it still did taste pretty good (maybe I was just really hungry) and it was all free! And so was everything included that day. Hope to be back in the room where it happens next year. As this is a review of the college, the campus is certainly pretty nice for a community college. It definitely earns its title for best in the state. And staff hold lots of wisdom and are certainly qualified for their roles. In the communications field, the cheap access to all the equipment Brookdale has is a good reason to be in school.

The classes are all "B" able with minimal effort [some very specific program courses like very specific nursing classes etc. aside] and B+/A- able and A able with a bit of effort. You don't have to be a genius to get a 4.0 at Brookdale Community College - you just have to put in a bit of time to do the reading and memorize the stuff the professors told you to memorize. It's pretty basic. But the offerings are very limited. Some sections fill up fast and have wait lists, while the sister face to face classes stack up unfilled. The classes felt like a whole lot of busy work - not a whole lot of learning work - just busy work. The teachers basically want to see that you tried and didn't plagiarize! But that doesn't make you a true expert in the field that you checked the box for when you picked ASSOCIATES in XXXXXXXX

Went here on a college visit and was impressed with the campus. Located in Long Branch near the…read moreJersey Shore is a good place to go to school. The beach nearby and plenty of activities is a good start. The actual campus was much more scenic than I thought. Very impressive. The professors and students that we met on the visit were all very nice and informative. The students seemed to be happy to be attending the university and had seemed eager to promote the student body and faculty. My daughter would like to major in Marine Biology and both professors we met in that field were great. Made me wish I was going to college listening to them. Both were very knowledgeable and helpful. I would think that the classes they taught would be great. My daughter is still looking but they made a great impression. Definitely have your kid at least give them a look.

It was very enjoyable seeing her emulating the 20th century surrealists ie. Dali and Magritte. Artwork on both floors were displayed and open to the public.

I've been going to middlesex for a while now and in my time there I've only had two professors that…read moreI actually liked because they treated their students with respect. Now there is a teacher who is just rude, and manipulative. She accused me of plagiarism because I took one key point from another students post and forgot to cite. Then I know someone else taking the class currently and they got accused of plagiarism as well because their paper was written basically identical to mine, but mind you that individual wrote his whole paper himself with no knowledge on the paper I wrote for this class two semesters ago. It's disgusting how they feel the right to accuse you of something that can get you kicked out of the school. It is disgusting how administration lets this happen, when I was accused of plagiarism I was so mad, but in the end I ended up rewriting my post anyway so that I wouldn't get kicked out of the school I've spent thousands on. But for this professor to be doing the same thing she did to me go other students it's an absolute disgrace and shouldn't be allowed. Especially knowing how big of a deal plagiarism is. I would think twice before enrolling there again for another degree program.

Unnecessarily difficult to get assistance from anyone at MC. NJ has a program called ReUp of…read moresomething like that designed to convince people to get continue their education. So after being emailed off/on about returning to MC, I decide to go for it only to learn my account has been deactivated. How hard can it be to reach the administrator as directed? Responder Dick tells me that I need to be an active student in order to reapply to be a student. So when I clarified that I'm not looking to access the student portal, I'm looking to apply, Responder Dick "reiterates" that he can't advise me of my student status. I know my status. So it went from you can't access the MC portal without being a student, which makes sense if I was trying to access the student portal (but I'm not), to I can't help you login anyway, the admissions dept has to do it. I didn't reach out to Responder Dick, he answered a ticket from an email I sent from the Contact Us page. Wouldn't it make sense to reassign the ticket. I bet you Responder Dick has *his* degree. May as well slide me in there if all we have to do is self assign ourselves help desk tickets and advise we can't help. Awesome job.

High-Quality Academics and Faculty -…read more The coursework was rigorous and relevant, especially in the science and math departments. The curriculum was structured perfectly to prepare me for the next step. What truly sets this college apart is the dedicated and accessible faculty. They genuinely care about student learning and success. They went above and beyond to provide individual attention that you just don't get at a large university. Lots of fun memories on & off campus! I graduated with an Associate of Science (A.S.) degree.

If I could, I would give this place 0 stars…read more When you actually start going there, the parking is HORRIFIC! My sister goes to Raritan Valley Community College (RVCC) and their parking is 100000X better than Union! There are lots so far away that students have to walk so far just to get to the campus and even then, the faculty gets the closest parking - which takes up most of the first 3 lots because God forbid they have to walk more than 5 feet away from the school. And in the snow/rain, it's horrible the way they expect students to want to go to this school with terrible parking lots, walk 20 feet just to get to the campus, and go to class. At that rate, you should take online courses or better yet, go to RVCC! RV is 1000X better and if it wasn't for my program being American Language and Deaf Studies, I would have gone there! Their parking lots alone are reason enough for people to want to go there! If that doesn't get you ready to go, go to Raritan because you do NOT have to PAY for a parking ticket! They have separate dividers for the faculty and staff through a parking ticket, but for students, it's free!! The silent study rooms. I had time between my classes to go there and it was good, except for when people are TALKING IN A SILENT STUDY ROOM! It is silent! I don't know if these students can't read the sign on the door because almost everyone was talking during a certain time - around 12-4. It is a silent study room! There is no group work! No whispering! No talking! And no videos! It is not rocket science or brain surgery! Do NOT do it!! And, on top of that, they would have construction going on again near the silent study room for who knows what, so because of that noise, many people didn't bother to obey the rules of the room, so more people started to talk. That room was also put right next to a different room where students could go for leisure time or group study, so every once in a while, I would hear loud laughter and even some banging on the wall as the students on the other side were arguing over some answers for their homework. What kind of "genius" puts a silent study room right next to a room where students can have group study?! I was constantly telling people to "please go outside" or "please, no group study" because it was a SILENT STUDY ROOM! They need to have someone there ensuring that students who go in do NOT TALK! I would be studying for tests/quizzes/homework/exams, and so many students would be talking and having a group study together! I HATED that college! If Raritan Valley had my program as a Major, I would have been thrilled to have gone to that college, but Union had it, so I was forced to choose that one. Union College was absolutely awful! Terrible parking, horrible design, unbelievable slow learning with basic topics I learned in middle/high school, and very lazy security who are too busy on their phones or sitting at the desk, watching YouTube videos or playing Solitaire. If they have your program at Raritan Valley Community College, go there! It is so much better, my sister is always telling me good things about the staff that help her out, and the parking alone is definitely worth it!

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.
