My experience with Eastwick College in Ramsey, New Jersey, was mixed, and I believe anyone…read moreconsidering attending should carefully weigh their options. I attended the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program and made it nearly to the end of the program. I was in my final module and had consistently done well academically, including making the Honor Roll. Unfortunately, shortly before finals, I became sick with COVID and was not permitted to return until I received medical clearance. By the time I returned, finals were already taking place. Despite being sick and missing valuable classroom and study time, I returned and did the best I could. I passed the majority of my finals but unfortunately failed one course. One of the biggest issues I had with what happened afterward was that, according to the academic standards I was given, a C+ or higher was considered a passing grade. I had achieved that required standard throughout the program. Yet when I appeared before the review panel, I was told that my grades did not demonstrate enough improvement. I had difficulty understanding that reasoning because I had met the stated passing requirement and had previously been an Honor Roll student. I was not asking for special treatment or for excuses to be made for me. I was asking for the opportunity to continue and complete what I had worked extremely hard to achieve. Throughout my time at Eastwick, I sought tutoring, stayed after school, studied extensively, and even paid out of pocket for additional tutoring outside of the college. I took my education seriously and made every reasonable effort to succeed. My biggest criticism of Eastwick is the lack of understanding and compassion I personally experienced when legitimate circumstances outside of school affected my education. Students in programs like these are often working adults, mothers, fathers, and people with careers and families who are trying to create better lives for themselves. Academic standards absolutely need to exist, but I also believe those standards should be applied fairly and consistently. I met some great people at Eastwick and developed friendships that continue today, so I do not regret everything about my experience. However, based on how my situation was handled, I personally would not return. If you are considering Eastwick, do your research. Understand the financial commitment, carefully read the academic progression and dismissal policies, and ask exactly what happens if illness or another documented circumstance prevents you from completing part of a module. Most importantly, compare the program with other schools before committing. One school does not determine your future. I have since continued moving forward, recently became a father, and remain determined to advance my education and career. I wish the students attending Eastwick nothing but success. However, based on my personal experience, I strongly recommend that prospective students understand exactly what they are committing to and consider all of their educational options before enrolling.

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.

In addition to an average education, they "nickel and dime" you to death and constantly send small bills for everything, like graduating-Because 4 years of tuition just isn't enough. (which rises yearly) Prepare to graduate with tons of debt and a mediocre degree. It is incredibly hard to find a job upon graduating from this college, as it is so small and unheard of, but in all fairness, that may not be something that only happens with STAC. STAC is also not "known" as a great school-as I found out looking for jobs. The education is average at best, and many of the teachers never seem to stay more than a semester, as the longest teacher at the school has only been there 5 years. (2nd place is 3 semesters) It seems that the teachers do not really care, although this could be hit and miss depending on classes. While I commuted (and if you do attend, I would suggest you do as well) the dorming situation is horrible. There are constant twice a night check ups, and activities are not allowed in any of the courtyards. Any violation of these "rules" will end with you getting written up. The teachers claim they are" trying" to fix this, but it has been getting worse and worse. It has become a jail full of kids that are miserable as they have to sit in their room and await check ups all day. Stopping drugs and alcohol is a good thing, not allowing us to use the grills on campus and the grass fields between the dorms is absurd. Especially when you are paying for them. We are also not allowed to use that new field without being on one of the sports teams. Yes you just paid for a new facility that you are not allowed to use if you don't play sports. I regret attending this school, and I did not even have to endure the worst of it. I would not recommend this school to anybody, they have a lot of work to do to try to fix their image before a degree from them will once again mean anything.

I spent 6 years of my life at Marist and I don't regret any single part of it... not even when…read morethose student loan bills come in every month. As an undergraduate, I was an English major, concentrating in literature, The English program there is underrated, in my humble opinion. Marist is known as a communications/business/fashion school, and rightfully so as those programs are incredible. However, it should get more attention for its awesome little English department, staffed by some of the most amazing educators I've had in my 19 years of schooling. I was an avid reader before, but they completely changed my outlook on literature and ultimately inspired me to pursue becoming a professor myself. I returned later on to get my Masters in Education there. It's a young program (I think I may have been the second or third class?) so it's not perfect, but I also think that education is a hard subject to teach without hands-on experience, which they ultimately do require. Again, I was mentored by some awesome educators, so what more can you ask for from a college? Oh, and I did live on campus for three semesters. My first dorm, Champagnat, was renovated a year or two after I was there, so I don't have anything constructive to say about it since I haven't been in there since '01. My second dorm, a suite in Midrise, was nice. I know they were featured on a morning show about the luxury of their dorms, so there you go. The cafeteria is decent, the cafes around campus are good, they have a kickin' activities center and the library... oh, the library. I'll be here for another 8 paragraphs if I go into the awesomeness of the library, so I'll just say that I spent many a relaxing afternoon by a big window overlooking the Hudson reading the 47389423489 books assigned to me as an English major. Ah, Marist. Good times. I miss you.

I took a few Summer and Winter session courses and found the professors to be interesting and well informed. Although, I'm sure that some of the instructors "mail it in" for the check, that was not my experience. Many have complained over the years about the proliferation of unserious mouth breathers who take up space. But let's be honest, lethargy is not exclusive to community colleges. I'm quite certain there are plenty of dicks at Harvard who go through the motions and squander the opportunity that daddy's dime affords them. As a rule night classes tend to attract more motivated and older students who are less concerned with all the social distractions that preoccupy the daytime crew. Well worth my time, especially with credits that proved to be an incredible value.

The professors, both tenured and adjuncts, at the university care about sharing their knowledge with students while encouraging class discussions. If a student needs extra help, professors go out of their way to be helpful and the tutoring center is a great resource. I found the student body to be welcoming, friendly, and passionate about learning. There are a number of student organizations on campus and activities to participate in. For example, I co-hosted a radio program on campus. There are also interesting lectures that take place on campus. I highly recommend enrolling at Fairleigh Dickinson University.

WPU not only supported my academic journey--allowing me to graduate with a 3.6 GPA and honors--but also helped me grow as a leader, an advocate, and a whole person. Serving as the Student Government Association's Vice President of Judicial Review and as the student representative on the HESSA Advisory Board gave me meaningful opportunities to shape campus policies and uplift student voices. These roles taught me responsibility, collaboration, and the importance of creating spaces where all students feel seen and heard. I'm especially proud and humbled to have received the Social Justice Award. It reflects the university's commitment to equity and the ways it empowers students to lead with purpose. Throughout my time here, I found professors, staff, and peers who genuinely cared about my success and well-being. The community at WPU uplifted me in moments when I doubted myself and celebrated me in moments of triumph. William Paterson University is a place where first-generation students can thrive, where diverse identities are embraced, and where leadership opportunities open doors to real impact. I'm grateful for the experiences, connections, and confidence I've gained--and I'll carry them with me long after graduation.
