6/7/25: We came to the Ramapo College musical wing to see a 110th birthday tribute to guitar…read moreextraordinaire Les Paul (1915-2009). Tickets to this event were $30 per person. For those unfamiliar with Mr. Paul, he was a master guitarist of many genres. In addition, Mr. Paul was one of the pioneers of the solid-body electric guitar, and his prototype, called the Log, served as inspiration for the Gibson Les Paul. Mr. Paul is the only inductee in both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the National Inventors Hall of Fame. (Talk about accomplishments!) Three groups: "The Ed Loeb Quartet", "Tom and Sandy Doyle" and "D n A" performed in Mr. Paul's honor. (Tom Doyle had worked alongside Les Paul). The afternoon had two intermissions. Outside the auditorium, water, cheese, crackers, and other finger foods were supplied by a local ShopRite. During the second intermission, everyone had a slice of Les Paul's birthday cake. The event was extra special to me. I had the pleasure of seeing Les Paul perform at the old and new Iridium Room (NYC) on several occasions. "Note to event organizers": Navigating the college was very confusing. On top of it, the young woman at the security booth gave us "terrible directions". In addition, she didn't make any mention of a shuttle. Luckily, I did google a map of the college campus. Many of the program attendees were of an "older generation", which may not have been to tech savvy. In addition, the attendees may not have been able to walk up the college campus hills. We walked about 90% of the way and a car drove us to the event. After the show, we started walking back and a public safety car drove us back to the parking lot.

The track was pretty good and the campus is in a very nice area. I don't go here though so idkread more

I live in one of the best school districts in NJ but we switched to Holy Spirit School three years…read moreago and I am so happy we did. Wanting "more" for my children, we looked at various private schools in the region that had high levels of academic focus, strong community and that "something extra". After visiting several school we chose Holy Spirit for many reasons but it was the only school that really stood out as having that "something extra". First, their true commitment to growing the children academically in the most personalized manner was incredible. Allowing them to move forward and learn at their own pace and encouraging them to grow not "waiting for the others to catch up" as we saw in public school. But also, when they need help or a little extra, the teachers and staff have gone out of their way to work personally with the children to help them understand and excite them about the learning. The teachers are always available and happy to offer extra tutoring which is wonderful. The kids are nurtured in a "family" environment to care for, respect and help each other. Beyond the academics there is a community of involvement among the parents. The school events and fundraisers are great fun for the extended community, not just the school community. Annually the entire school rallies around the "school play" which is the largest and most incredibly well produced and directed school play I have ever seen. The kids are from 3rd- 8th grade and they blow the socks off many of the high school productions we've seen. For those 4 months of practice and rehearsals, those kids are a part of something wonderful that they will remember and gain skills they will use for the rest of their lives. My children love Holy Spirit and so do we!

I graduated from this school and I do not advise anyone to attend Seton Hall. You receive a very…read moresubpar education. Seton Hall is ranked 165 out of 436 colleges/universities. Seton Hall charges $50,000 a year. Rutgers is ranked 41 and Rutgers only charges $33,000 a year. Rutgers is a by far better school than Seton Hall and it is much cheaper. Most of the professors at Seton Hall teach directly from a text book and then test you on what you read in the text book. It is that bad. None of the professors taught us any software programs that we would need to know for our majors and for employment upon graduation. A lot of the professors who teach at the school are very old and I have serious doubts whether they even know how to use a computer. You will not be learning any cutting edge technology at Seton Hall. They have no jobs for you upon graduation. You are completely on your own to find your own employment when you graduate. The school has a Career Center, but it is worthless. It is staffed by 18 year old students who have never had a career, which means they have no connections to help you get a job and they have no advice to give you because they are 18 years old and never had a career. The jobs they have posted in the Career Center are mainly entry-level jobs that pay very low wages. You can find better jobs on Careerbuilder. The school has no inside track or connections to help students get jobs and none of the Professors I had knew anyone to help students get a job. I think if the Professors knew anyone, they probably would not be teaching at Seton Hall. The school is surrounded by very bad areas with a lot of crime around the campus. That crime spills over onto the campus and into South Orange where Seton Hall is located. Students get attacked on and off campus. I believe the school tries to suppress the actual crime stats in order to make the school seem much safer than the reality of the situation. When I was attending Seton Hall, there was student that was shot at in her vehicle by someone trying to car jack her on campus and that incident never made it into the crime stats for the campus. She supposedly went to the Dean and told him about it. And my last point may sound trivial, but I think it does matter. Most of the students at this school are from New Jersey and they have very heavy New Jersey accents. They sound like they are characters on the Sopranos. I cannot imagine that heavy New Jersey accent comes across well to employers when interviewing for a job. It is very likely your children will pick up a New Jersey accent if they attend Seton Hall and they are not from New Jersey.

Our daughter's SAT score went up by 300 points and we also used SLS for pre-calculus and English with amazing results.

Don't waste your time with the larger centers that offer cookie-cutter tutoring: go to SLS and you will be thanking them for years!
