I am so happy I transferred to FDU. It has had a great impact on my academic journey. I have met amazing people who have helped me tremendously. As a local student, I am familiar with the area, and the campus there is so beautiful. It is extremely safe, and public safety is amazing. I have had all great professors and an excellent experience.

I see a few changes on Campus since there are mask options. During Fall 2021, it was a pleasant semester, but the COVID-19 cases rose, which caused many people to come into the building without masks.

I love it here.

School is not rated as it should, but the staff is helpful and caring. Many courses are taught well and exams can be quite tough. But, professors are helpful. Best advantage is that this is not a big school. The disadvantage is that fees keep rising.
Overall 4.2
After I graduated from FDU with my BA, I decided to go back to FDU for my MSW since I knew the campus & the professors. I enjoyed my time both as an undergraduate & a graduate student.

Really bad experience here. It’s just really boring and depressing. Felt like community college. Would not recommend.

NOT WORTH THE MONEY! could not stress this enough. The Caterer at this campus (Gourmet Dining) could care less about the food that they serve. Although there are other places to eat on campus, none really stand out. Good luck looking for a social life here, this school is very cliquey with barely any clubs. The internet connect is also abysmal.
Overall 1.1
Whoever is reading this don’t go to this school. Everything here sucks. You’ll be so bored that you get depression. Good luck finding a group of friends that aren’t annoying and toxic/fake and or friends that want to go out on the weekend. Food sucks the teachers here besides a few all suck. I can’t wait to get the hell out of here.
Overall 1.2
Not worth the high tuition. Campus severely needs to be updated and fixed. Unfortunately located in a very expensive area and nothing is affordable. School claims to offer assistance with finding employment after graduation... where, at McDonald's? They did nothing to help me nor my peers. I want my money back.

Cant wait to transfer out of this school. This is insanely horrendous. Nothing to do on weekends. I feel as if I am always doing academic work.
Overall 1.6
Stay away from this college at all costs. Madison is a bad location as there are virtually no restuarants or good eating spots. The internet is non existent, the faictilites are dirty and the food is pitiful. Gourmet Dining (the caterer) is the closest thing to prison food. The campus staff is incompetent and aggresive. Wouldn't choose again!

Please research before going to this school! This was my number one college straight out of High School and I have never been so miserable my entire life. I stayed on campus for one semester and made the decision to commute but its not worth it. Campus is a circle, dorms are small, food is nasty, and staff is very rude. Please, please think twice!!
