Rider University

This review is not on the academics or admissions of Rider University, only on the grounds and walkability of the campus. The campus is large and mostly flat with few trees and mostly low level buildings which means plenty of sunshine but not a lot of shade. The buildings are neat and orderly but basic and certainly not architectural masterpieces of any kind. Overall, a nice place to get your 10k steps (or earn a degree, you’re choice.)

The school is great, genuinely. Most of the staff aside from a few outliers are very kind and clearly want to foster an environment conducive to learning for the students. However, there is one thing that no one really accounts for that is very impractical -- the number of electrical outlets. In every place on campus that students go to study -- Crans, the SRC, the BLC, residence hall lounges -- there are so few electrical outlets. There are maybe four electrical outlets for every 50 people in a space and realistically when everyone is trying to do school work or study on their computer, it just doesn't work. Great school though!

I am here for my masters and honest the campus is huge and totally green…. The maintenance is very good

What kind of school bans Chick-fil-A because they believe something different than some people at the university. Even though the students wanted it they still said no. That’s pitiful.

We had a great time at Rider's Homecoming and Family Weekend! It was so much fun bringing the kids back to see where their daddy went to college.

I have been admitted to the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Canada and Rider University. Initially, I chose UBC because it is one of the top schools worldwide. However, after some time, I realized that attending a prestigious institution is not as important as being at a university that appreciates your efforts and supports you through any obstacles. UBC offered me no scholarship, clearly valuing money above all else. In contrast, Rider University offered me the Dean’s Scholarship and other assistance. Rider provides scholarships to nearly 99% of admitted students. We students make the university’s name; they do not make ours. Thank you Rider for being an incredible institution!

Public safety sucks, poor lightning, not well lit, not enough Camara's , cops don't like to be called late at night cause they like to sleep. tuition goes up every yr.

Worst University ever. Rider does not even have great program. It is completely a high school part 2. Almost Everything in this school is like a high school. Professors suck. School is a waste of time, effort and money. The school it self is not even selective. If your looking for a school to have fun and get a great career and rider is not the right school. Its business program even sucks. Almost half the courses they have now they should have had a long time ago. This school is going through problems and will never succeed. I am so happy i chose not to stay in this school. first semester was disaster, worst professors, worst experience completely like a high school. Rider is defiantly the worst school i has never seen and is a complete joke and waste of time. Don't chose this school.

Food is bad, pool was never open, teachers aren't that great(obviously some are good but most are just aweful). "Public safety" writes tickets just for income purposes. And the school WAS, key word here is WAS a good business school but they are far from it. Out of ever other school I got into, I would have much rather gone to any other one instead of my poor decision of rider.

The way everything is positioned is kind off off. If you live in Poyda, Ridge, or Lake and you want to eat at the dining hall, you have walk across the entire campus to the east side where Daly Dining Hall is. At this point only two of the 12 main dorms any student can stay have no form of air conditioning so it's rotten luck if you wind up with none.
