Kean University

Had a hard time at this school for so many reasons. Firstly, I was experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition that made it damn near impossible to attend any of my classes and focus on my work. Then these people began saying that it was my fault when like I said, I was going through a rough time with my mental health. Then they started billing me a huge of amount of money that it took me pleading my case to these people to get out of that debt. I still was left with a huge balance left to pay. Next, the communication between the admissions department, financial aid, and even the advisors is terrible. They expect YOU to do everything without any help from anybody. I believe people who go to this school should have access to departments and not have any difficulty with doing that. These people traumatized me and left me broke after I tried attending this school back in 2019. I will say if you try to come here, please be aware what you are getting yourself into. Shame on this university!!!!

*I visited the Liberty Hall museum. It was another delightful tour! This was my second trip with my school and mom and we saw new sections based on what happened in history in the season we have now. The staff are always a pleasure! And I can't wait to see more! I may also consider having my wedding here ❣️💐✨ …

If you are an education or music major, I’m sure it’s great. For anything else, I STRONGLY suggest going elsewhere, ESPECIALLY as a transfer student. I have talked to others who agree as well. It’s a relatively nice, small campus and there’s only a handful of professors I liked or wanted you to succeed. The biggest problem lies in the system and faculty relating to administration, registration, and finance. There have been multiple times the school didn’t allow me to take certain classes or be able to further progress my degree, claiming I didn’t take the prerequisite when I did and the system says I did. But they never fixed it permanently, setting me back multiple semesters. Also, you need to meet with your guidance counselor before registering for the next semester. Mine didn’t answer me in time once, and a class I needed booked up. Even though it wasn’t my fault, they refused to not do anything about it. I went to upper administration for both issues and they were rude and didn’t help or answer eventually. They are way too expensive for what they represent and how they treat most.

They have switched multiple crucial systems over the summer which have made my experience for registering for classes and contacting people to get help for it hell.

Graduated in 2019 and never rated until now. I give it 5 stars. It was overall a great experience and had some pretty cool professors. My keystone graduation project was fun, too. Nice campus with mostly modern buildings. Didn't live on campus but rented an apartment down the street.

Received my education at this university for 7 years. I received my BA in Psychology and my MA in psychological services and marriage and family therapy. Loved every second of it!!!

Campus great dorms fantastic and cafeteria food something yummy halal food too lot of students activities safe dorms have security. There is campus police to safeguard. Students and staff sports arena close to airport NYC mall university shuttle runs around malls, train station grocery lively

This college has pros and cons just like any other institution. I was a business major, so I cannot speak for other programs. Some of the pros: -The campus is beautiful and very well maintained. -The campus is more-or-less contained in one area. -Some professors (not all) are very helpful if you show that you care. -The gym is actually useful. -The campus is expanding. -Very nice cafeteria. -There is a Starbucks next to the library, perfect for white girls. (FYI this is the only Starbucks in the USA that is franchised.) -Best school in NJ if you want to become a teacher. -STEM building is awesome. Cons: -Tuition is rising at an exponential rate. -Not exactly the most illustrious school. -Parking spaces are diminishing because of all the new buildings, adding to the HUGE parking problem that already plagues KU. -Not too engaging on campus since most people commute and leave right after their classes are over. -The grade curving is absolutely ridiculous. I worked my tail off to receive the same grade as the slackers. It got so bad that I had a 160% in a class one time. Had multiple classes where I received a +100%. How does that work? -Administration is horrible (especially admissions). -Not exactly located on the best side of town. -Student store is expensive (especially books). Student deli is extremely expensive (I'm talking $5-for-a-Red-Bull expensive.) -Some professors will avoid you like the plague outside of class. -Like anywhere else, some students don't care at all and you will have to deal with that. My overall experience with Kean was a good one. I transferred from a community college and Kean definitely was a step up.

Please allow your staff to return to work on campus. It sucks that individuals have to call repeatedly for days, yes I said days in order to get through to someone. This is very ridiculous and annoying. When people work from home, they aren't taking their job seriously at all. Why should be on the phone for hours, yes I said hours waiting on someone to pick up the phone. Additionally, why do individuals need to leave a message to get a call back from your Financial Aid Department? Like come on its 2023, have people on hand to answer questions that WE THE GENERAL PUBLIC MAY HAVE.

I hated every second of this place. I had a lot of mental health issues that I won’t get into here, but when I tried to schedule an appointment with their counselors, it was a month away. I moved back home for my own sake, and they pulled stuff like charging a $1500 fee over student loans and another $75 fee because I couldn’t sign a sheet to move out due to having been home for a month and a half. Then the residence hall director at Freshman Hall pulled a “if we had known, we wouldn’t have charged you.” You knew. I told you about my issues a month earlier when I was switching rooms OVER EMAIL. My mom had to go full Karen mode over Zoom to get them to drop the money we “owed” but never actually owed. Don’t go here, they’re a bunch of money hungry gremlins. Also half the time the food didn’t even look edible.
