Great College with endless opportunities, they will always have your back and care about your grades, mental health, well-being, and further on. They always check up on you to make sure we’re doing well as advanced students in an Higher Education College. It’s hard but beneficial with the grind and mindset.

As a first-time college student at the age of 42, I did not know what to expect. Every staff member has been so helpful thus far. I am happy that I chose Kean University and would recommend anyone.

I do not feel safe at all returning in person but I was told I didn't have a choice. I am immune compromised and COVID could literally kill me and the university did not care at all. They would not work with me to see if they could adapt a few classes to allow for remote learning and told me I have to go or take the semester off.

Was shamed for wanting to use accommodations for my disability by a high up staff member. Was then lied to by that individual and then pressured not to use my accommodations. If it werent for the fact that I graduate soon I would transfer immediately. Beyond disgusting how the university treats its disabled students.

Hate it here, I had the same terrible professor 3 times (she was the only one who taught the required classes) where I and several other students reported her consistently as she gave incorrect learning information, never was at office hours/responded to emails, and blamed students for her mistakes. University did nothing except say give her a shot

Had issues with a professor obviously harassing against me. Told the dean who said I had no evidence even though I showed assignments and tests that I had extra restrictions compared to other students who also came to the dean to agree I was being targeted. I was told to never make false reports against people and next time I will be thrown out.
