SPU is what you make of it! Use this website to find teachers that are good! Clubs are awesome, wish more people went to them. They're always hosting fun events (e.g. free boba), check your emails and go out more even if you feel its dumb, you'll make more friends and memories! Connect with the CEEL team, they have great connections to jobs!

The School of Business and the CEEL department definitely has great connections with the outside world that is open to all students and can land students a job for after graduation as a Junior!!!

Best school to be a nerd, if you want to party, go to Rutgers. This is one of the best schools in the United States.

The internet and the transportation should be improved, do that and this is the perfect school.

SPU has something for everyone. If there is a club you want to add, you can! You just need to get a faculty advisor and club members. Cafeteria food is not the best. But, there are many places to eat within walking distance (Subway, CarvaoBBQ, Halftime Bar&Grill (21+), Prince of Pizza, Wonder Bagels, Dunkin, etc. Be cautious when walking alone.

I love St. Peter's. The school is small so you have more individualized attention The professors truly want you to succeed and will help you in any way. I HAVE NOT HAD 1 BAD PROFESSOR. I have learned so much here. It is a very diversified campus, and I have met a lot of different people from many different nationalities. I would highly recommend

Bad reviews

Do not come to this school. There is no campus life and is in a pretty bad location. if you ever need help the people working will keep transferring you and you won't get help. This is a commuter school and a school which does not have much money, I do not recommend coming here as many I know are or have transferred just after one semester.
Overall 1
People only come to this school because it offers the most money. I doubt someone wants to come here to learn more about theology and philosophy. The food is under cooked. There's no Greek life whatsoever. Lastly, the dorms are terrible and the athletic teams are garbage.
Overall 1.4
Living on campus here is a nightmare and the quality of the campus is garbage. Very unfriendly and outdated all around. The Residence Life and Leadership/Engagement staff here are one of the most unprofessional, narcissistic, rude, "peaked in high school" group of people you will ever come across. It's just a lame place with food poisoning provided
Overall 1.5
Do NOT come to this school or buy into the propaganda that people here push. The facilities are outdated, the professors are often under-qualified, and most of the students who attend have no business being in college to begin with. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the school were to file for bankruptcy within the next five years. It's a joke.
Overall 1.5
Stay away. Nothing good can come from this campus. Unless you love a dirty campus, horrible food, terrible/outdated education, overpriced college expierence and the fear of getting mugged, this place is not for anyone. The financial aid is a scam and your better off going to your local community college
Overall 1.6
In all honesty, any other school is better than here. Academic-wise the school has awesome professors (except for the newly hired teachers who have not have barely to no knowledge on how to teach college students). School food has it's up and downs, but for social events many students are not interested in what this school has to offer.

If there is anyone considering this school I would highly advise against it unless you feel you don't have a solid highschool education. Essentially that is what they provide. For students looking for higher learning, I would HIGHLY recommend going to someplace better like Rutgers or even starting at a community college and then transfering out.
