Bad reviews
Overall 0.9
Staff is beyond rude and unhelpful aka the people in the financial aid office and the bookstore. To sit with 1 tutor who's helping 8 people at the same time.

This was a waste of money and time to me. I went to this school because they said it was a community college and it was good. Some of the professors I took did not even care about what we were doing or if the class was learning something. At the beginning they place me in math 083 when I was already in AP Calc. back in HS.

Overwhelming majority of professors and staff are unprofessional. Ive had more pleasant social encounters with strangers while walking my dog. Inside the building there are colored painted cement block walls for whatever section/department youre in. No windows, across from Courthouse, probably was going to be a jail hence the prison attitudes.

No thanks.
Overall 1.1
The school environment is not customer service oriented. Students are the customer who paid Tuition rather with Financial Aid or out of pocket. lots of uneducated people who hold position due to political bureaucracy. Chairperson in a different department that don't deserve to be there but are there anyway as a dead weight.
Overall 1.4
School is no way comparable 2 other community colleges. The technology isn't up 2 par, the teachers 4 the most part are just mediocre and simple things like a password reset requires u 2 take time off work 2 visit the college during day time hours. This school disgusts me. I stood in line at Fin. Aid for 20 mins while they discussed TV. Sick.

Essex County College just want your money. They don't help you in anything. That's all I have to say
