Seton Hall University Reviews
Rating 3.74 out of 5 2,215 reviews
Rating 5 out of 5
So far Seton Hall has been great. The amount of resources the school has exceeds expectations. The free tutoring is definitely something that I take advantage of and the diverse amounts of food on campus. My professor so far have helped me more then I could imagine with classes. And not only that, the students that I have met are great! We are all focused on our goals. Especially me, I have been stacking my schedule up with many more classes then required and I have been meeting with my advisor who has been helping me plan out my next 4 years. This school also offers many different opportunities including a 3+4 program for medical students which makes it even more of a reason to attend.

Seton Hall University offers a supportive academic environment with strong programs in nursing, business, and law. The small class sizes foster close interactions with professors, creating a personalized learning experience. While the curriculum is challenging, the focus on real-world skills and career preparation stands out, especially with its proximity to New York City offering numerous internship opportunities. The sense of community and dedication to student growth are evident, though areas like campus facilities and parking could see improvements. Overall, it’s a place that encourages both academic excellence and personal development.

As a junior at Seton Hall, I’ve found that the campus community has a really supportive and close-knit feel, which makes it easy to build connections with both professors and peers. The academic programs are challenging but offer plenty of opportunities to grow, especially through internships and hands-on learning. The location is not the best considering I live in Staten Island, NY but their Physical Therapy program in my eyes is worth it. One downside is parking can be difficult and has made me late to class several times, but overall, it’s a solid environment for both personal and academic development.
