In my second year of living as a Residential student here I enjoy it here. The weekends are silent but sometimes that's their charm. It's a hit or miss on making friends. Make sure you attend discussion meetings about the dorms and conditions of living instead of whining to friends to get real change! PS the parties are always in the suites

Do not attend USJ for your FNP or DNP degree. This program is a joke and staff treat students like children. They have a policy where they take away 2 points from your final grade if you are late or miss class. They don't take into consideration that students have jobs, children, or health/mental illnesses. Stay far away from this school!!!

The school does a good job at making the school seem amazing at orientation. However, once you enroll, you will regret the decision.

I went here if fall of 22 and transferred spring of 23 I transferred because not even my semester being here they failed their health food inspection and didn't email the students about it. there was a shooting that happened,no security precautions were taken after the overall social life was terrible if you didn't play a sport you had no friends

This is mostly a commuter school... no one stays on the weekends and it is dead silent. Walking to class from dorms is very quick compared to most universities because campus is tiny. But it wasn't a good experience for me here so I needed to leave. Roommate troubles on first day and didn't enjoy anything here except for the short walk to class.

if you like going home on the weekends, this school is for you.

Not much to do on campus, so you would have to get off campus to find things to do. Barely any clubs and the campus is very small. Classes are all going to be under 30 students. Has a nice reputation, but the professors are really mediocre.
