The campus is beautiful, clean and has a great feeling to it one that excites you to learn and grow as an individual. This is a large university with so many majors, clubs/greek life and it located on Long Island and just a train ride from New York City. I think it's an amazing school and Overall it's been such a great experience!

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.

Hunter College High School is a public academic magnet secondary school located in the Carnegie…read moreHill Upper East Side of Manhattan. That's my neighborhood. It is administered and funded by Hunter College of the City University of New York (CUNY) and no tuition is charged. According to Hunter, its 1,200 "students represent the top one-quarter of 1% of students in New York City, based on test scores. I know that's true because I've got a lot of friends that have children that applied for entrance and were overlooked. The school history is interesting. Originally Hunter was established in 1869 as "The Female Normal and High School", a private school to prepare young women to become teachers. The original school was composed of an elementary and a high school. There's a long list of notable graduates if you want to look them up. I love the building because it is a historic Armory. I recommend you visit the photogenic structure. If you are fortunate enough to have your family member attend I recommend you take advantage of every activity and opportunity you have to visit this school. I particularly recommend participating in their extracurricular activities in any form offered. I've enjoyed a few activities throughout the years.

A long time ago, on a subway far, far away*, I attended HCHS. Most of the great teachers I had…read morehave either retired or passed away. Last time I looked, my 9th grade math teacher was still soldiering on slinging the equations and one of my classmates is now continuing the tradition as a social studies teacher, following in the footsteps of Mr. Marienhoff (a great teacher and influence on many of us). Here are some facts about the school not often known outside the Hunter community. Every year, if you take the top 10% of 6th Grade kids in NYC (~2200-2500) that scored well on the 5th grade NYS ELA & math exams (what used to be called the city-wides), gave them the entrance exam and took the top 10% of those, you'd end up with the top 1%, which is roughly, a typical Hunter 7th grade class. Remember that this happens a full 2 years before they would take the Specialized High Schools exam (SHSAT). This gives Hunter the advantage of reaping the cream of the crop long before Stuyvesant, Bronx Science or Brooklyn Tech can get a crack at them. Over the first couple of years, some students will have personal, disciplinary or academic problems and will leave or be asked to leave, but their places are not filled by new students because they can only enter at the beginning of 7th grade. Those asked to leave go back and excel at their neighborhood schools. Like the other NYC specialized high schools, the education is tuition free and the best that the city can offer. Unlike those schools, you'll be staying for 6 years from grades 7-12. The Hunter College Campus Schools (including the Elementary School) is administered by Hunter College (CUNY) and not the NYC Dept of Education. This raises a whole load of other issues because Hunter is not subject to the Chancellor of the DOE nor receives funding like other NYC schools. Starting in 7th grade also gives students at Hunter the opportunity to finish their NYS Regents requirements by 10th or 11th grade and allows them to take more AP courses and to do an internship in their senior year. Completing both programs, the graduate receives both the Hunter and Regents diplomas. There has been a lot of press and allegations lately about the lack of diversity at Hunter and other Specialized schools that are groundless. If you can pass the test, you get in, end of story. Whether you received outside test prep or not, the bottom line is you were either prepared or not, no matter what your ethnic background. You better believe that if you attend Hunter, you will be going to college. With the Hunter name on your diploma, you stand a better than average chance to get into a top tier college or university. Hunter is known as the top feeder to the Ivy League and that is not a hollow statistic, but is proven every year. Among my class of 200, 10 students went to Cornell alone, with 4 to Harvard and others to Columbia, Princeton, UPenn, Yale, Brown and Dartmouth. We even had 3 going to MIT. Those are big percentages that is repeated year after year and that you will not find in any other school. I have very fond memories of my alma mater and appreciation for the place grows as you get older. So what I say to all the recent students and graduates that gripe about their experience at Hunter is that you'll be thankful for it in 10-20 years when all the bad experiences are in the past and you remember all the good things such as your life-long friends and the stellar education that you carry with you for the rest of your life. Here's an example of the work of some current students and a tour of the school. http://vimeo.com/62474345 And to make this a true Yelp review, what little cafeteria food we had was absolutely horrendous. You were better off going to any of the local delis (except the one we used to call the smelly deli). *Star Wars did come out about that time in ancient history and the records of us cutting class to go see it are lost in the mists of time.
