My niece plays basketball for this University. I actually spent a lot of time here when I was in HS…read morewhile my mom was working on her 4th degree from Rutgers. She didn't want to come alone at night so I would accompany her to her classes. My cousin went here from 99-2001 and many other family members. So I suppose we have a long standing relationship with this school and it is a great University with two campuses or more in NJ. I can't speak for thier athletics department because Rutgers football program gets beat by everyone and I've only gone to one female basketball game. But the education is one of the best in the state. This campus sits on the waterfront in Camden NJ, one of the roughest parts of south jersey, but they do an excellent job of keeping the campus clean and safe for students. I've never known any of my 7 family members that graduated from Rutgers to ever have issues.

This review is a little lengthy, but I strongly encourage prospective students and their families…read moreto take the time to read it. What follows is my personal experience with Rutgers University-Camden's Business School. The issues I encountered not only forced me to withdraw from an entire semester during a government shutdown but ultimately led to my complete withdrawal from the university. Pursuing a college education is a significant financial investment and a major life decision. Before committing your time, money, and future to any institution, I believe it is important to understand the experiences of students who have attended. I am sharing mine so others can make an informed decision about the challenges they may encounter. I would strongly caution prospective students, especially disabled students and veterans using VA education benefits, before enrolling at Rutgers University-Camden. As a 100% permanently and totally disabled veteran with a documented learning disability, my experience was appalling. Rutgers repeatedly failed to properly implement my approved disability accommodations, including examination time limits that did not meet my approved requirements. Equally disturbing was the language used by faculty when addressing disability-related matters. One professor referred to me as an "especially abled child," while another characterized my accommodation concerns as "personal requirement issues." I found these remarks inappropriate, demeaning, and unacceptable in a university setting. Despite repeatedly reporting these incidents, along with troubling faculty conduct, grading transparency concerns, and accommodation failures, I received dismissive responses and little meaningful intervention. I escalated my concerns through Disability Services, business school administration, the Ombudsperson, the Dean of Students, and ultimately the Dean of the Business School and the university Chancellor. Multiple administrators were included in written correspondence documenting these concerns, yet the problems remained unresolved. I was repeatedly directed back to the very professor whose conduct I had reported. Beyond the classroom, I encountered recurring problems with bookstore funding, textbook charges, and the administration of my VA Chapter 31 education benefits, requiring repeated intervention. Ultimately, I withdrew from Rutgers on September 25, 2026, despite maintaining a 3.93 GPA. Even after my withdrawal, an associate dean contacted me about completing another examination rather than addressing the serious concerns I had raised. My experience left me with serious concerns about the university's treatment of disabled students and veterans, its administrative accountability, and its willingness to address reported faculty misconduct. I have retained extensive email correspondence and documentation supporting my account. A prestigious university name means nothing when students must repeatedly fight for their approved accommodations, dignity, and basic respect. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Rutgers University-Camden.

When I graduated from high school I went directly to Temple. I did not enjoy the experience. I know…read morethat it is a large university...and that's fine...but I found it to be impersonal and cold. Many of my lectures had 40 or 50 students in them. The professors were not necessarily mean, but they were not helpful. I became pregnant during this time and made sure to keep my professors updated about this as I was a high risk pregnancy and knew that I may miss some classes. When I sent an e-mail saying that I would not be in a lecture for a Dr.'s appointment one responded well MR. Irvin, you will be marked absent and it will count against your grade. He had no idea who I was. I had trouble with financial aid and academic advisers and rude staff...and Temple campus area is where my family is from and the students around their treat the neighborhood like trash. All this to say, that negativity can be found anywhere and is based off of perception and personal experience. That being said, I graduated from CCP with my associates degree in nursing in 2016. Firstly, the n-clex pass rate for my class was in the high 80% if not low 90% last time I checked which is impressive for any institution. I took almost all of my pre-recs at West Philly campus which was very convenient as it is close to my house and I was able to not only take my classes but speak to the financial aid adviser and academic counselor there regularly...like stalked them. I learned a massive amount of information in the nursing program and feel confident in the positions that I've held in my nursing career so far, and not even because I think I know everything but because I feel like I have the tools to figure things out. And yea, I ran into rude financial aid people and rude professors...but I ran into way more not rude people and because I think that the students at CCP are generally more...shall I say, well rounded?...i definitely didn't run into the same social issues that I ran into at Temple. Now I am getting my Bachelors in Nursing from West Chester and guess what? There have been rude nasty people and annoying professors. Matter of fact I had to report a professor for being a bit inappropriate which is something that I never had to do at CCP or Temple. BUT there's more good than bad and I'm going to get my degree and no financial aid rep with a nasty tude is going to stop me. I'm giving CCP a 4/5 because one time I didn't like how my breakfast sandwich turned out.

Very disappointed with CCP. This has been a very long process, and I started my daughters process…read moreto attend CCP in May. She still has not started her classes yet. The staff is NOT aligned properly, and they do not follow up with the new students. They do not offer support to the students that are coming straight out of high school. This is not the CCP I experienced in 1996.

I earned my BS in 1986 in Recreation and Parks Management. At the time, TU had a number of leaders…read morein the field and it was quite exciting to have them as professors. I can say that I received a stellar education under their careful yet challenging instruction. Unfortunately, the job market was difficult in that year and after a few years working seasonal jobs, I shifted focus and worked in addictions. I returned to TU to work in the freestanding Career Development Center, eventually becoming the Associate Director in the late 1990s-early 2000s. TU has always believed in fostering the raw talent they see, and they supported me in all my academic and professional development. One professor in particular, Dr. Frank Farley, was especially helpful in my choosing a PhD program. Although I was no longer going to be at TU, he provided guidance and support through my doctoral program and dissertation. This is the clear strength of Temple- once a student, always a student. I will always be proud to be a part of a University that seeks to foster growth, development, and support in its talent, no matter how far or how long that relationship goes. The support programs through Student Affairs are commendable. Thanks TU for making my Owl years so special.

Such a beautiful campus and a great tour experience! They really do a great job of making you…read morecomfortable and welcome. They have different living arrangement options for the dorms lots of different food options. Close to public transit. Overall I loved our experience here.

Over $40,000/year for utter disorganization, unnecessary obstacles placed in our way, complete lack of communication/teaching yet high demands of output from the students. While I worked very hard for my As, the majority of the class blatantly cheated on exams & assignments with NO consequence. Our clinical rotation assignments were a complete mess that is beyond words. We didn't have guidance, no true program director after ours quit in the middle of the fall semester, and no idea as to what was going on most of the time yet expected to be aware of everything. It is very bad when the majority of the class reaches out for help from higher ups at school and have our list of concerns belittled. Basically we were set up for failure from the start. I could write paragraphs upon paragraphs of the wrong doings, discrimination against English speaking students, lies we were fed, and injustices endured in such a toxic/corrupt environment but I'll leave it at this - Please don't be blinded by the reputation of Thomas Jefferson University.

I enrolled in the EMT-B program during the Feb2016-Jun2016 term and had an absolutely phenomenal…read moreexperience. Jamie and Bubba, the two main instructors, not only ensured my class and I completed the program with the necessary skills to be a competent EMT, but they personally mentored and instilled confidence in each and every single one of us. Before I knew it, I began to see my instructors and classmates as my second family as well. The curriculum follows the NREMT guidelines and is broken into in-class lectures, online assignments, and psychomotor skill practical days (once a month on Sundays). The course is definitely challenging and will require work on your part. If you do not put the necessary time and energy into practicing and studying, it will show through. However, the support Jamie and Bubba provides will ensure you do not risk falling behind. What I believe sets Drexel's EMT program apart from all others is simply the passion and dedication Jamie and Bubba possess for educating the next generation of emergency medical providers. They take immense pride in teaching their students and watching them succeed in becoming certified EMT-B. They are truly two of the most, if the not the most, committed educators I have had the pleasure to learn from. It was an honor and pleasure to have learned from them. If anyone has any questions on the program or wish to learn more, I would be more than happy to speak with you and provide more in-depth details of my time there. P.S. I received my EMT-B certification within less than a month of completing the course.

The EMT-B program at Drexel is second to none. I came in with uncertainty in my ability and left…read morewith so much knowledge and confidence in my ability to treat patients. Jamie Teufel, the course director and one of the instructors, is extremely passionate about teaching. Although I had never planned in practicing as an EMT because I was planning to pursue an M.D., I learned so much that has actually benefited me now that I am in medical school. Some background, I am the quintessential socially awkward nerd who is afraid to touch a patient but can tell you a lot about Biochemical pathways. As a result, I was quite terrified about not being good enough in terms of communication and being a physician who is more than a nerd. If you work in the medical field, you know that effective communication, with patients and fellow health-care providers, is imperative to good care. But rest assured, I was not to be left hanging. Jamie and Bubba, our main instructors, made sure that all of us not only learned how to be basic EMTs but how to be competent providers. While there is a lot of work to be done, it is designed to give us the most for our time and accelerate us to be our best. The curriculum consists of both lectures and labs that are designed to teach us the roles of an EMT and the physical and communication skills that are expected of us. There are a variety of labs from a pig lab (in which we explore the lung and heart anatomy of a pig) to a Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) day in which we utilize all our skills in a simulated environment. While time consuming, these labs and labs in which we practice our skills are designed to train us in becoming proficient providers. In addition to a well-designed and implemented curriculum, Jamie and Bubba are ALWAYS there to address your concerns. Because there are numerous labs, some may have time conflicts, but Jamie is always willing to work with you to ensure that you get the best education that you can. They are highly flexible because their goal is to create the best EMTs/health-care providers, and for good reason- we represent the institution when we practice. There is NO room for sub-par work! I highly recommend this program for anyone interested in becoming an EMT and anyone who is interested in becoming a health-care provider in general. These skills that are taught are the FOUNDATIONS to becoming competent health-care provider and can easily distinguish the "good" providers from the excellent. TLDR: Excellent program with phenomenal instructors who have high standards for their students. There's a lot of work but you'll learn a lot and become a better health-care provider because of it. On the fence? Try it out, you won't regret it.

It is about equal in size to it old location (now Brave New Worlds). And Temple manages to bring in…read morethe same twisted art forms that I remember from it's previous form. The Old Temple Gallery was always known for bringing in odd forms of multimedia art, sculptures, architecture, and than some. It rarely steered towards the traditional arts and always gave it students the chance to incorporate strange mediums. When I finally encountered the newer Gallery I wasn't expecting them to maintain that odd dedication. But in a lot of ways It was weirder. While overall I do admire my Alma Mater doing this, and I have encountered some perfectly random and entertaining displays, a lot of times they just manage to fall flat on their randomness. When I walked in I was ready to visualize some art and read into it's imagery. But instead they expected me to read a whole bunch of books. Don't get me wrong - since I normally go through an average of 2 books a month I'm normally very up to such a task. But I and many others spent the day looking at many different paintings, photos, and musical performances. So by the time I hit the gallery I was so immersed with another part of my brain that the display just wasn't stimulating. And the Temple Gallery has been like that on more than one occasion. A solid A for effort though. And since I finally rediscovered a part of my Alma Mater again I'm happy to put up with it's imperfections anyway.
