The new renovations have been great! The only thing I’d change is the food in D-Hall. Hawks nest is on point though. Great professors! I’ve never been happier.

I was a nursing student at Wagner for 4 years. I lived in a moldy, cockroach infested dorm (towers), ate food that frequently made myself & other students ill, & now that I am in the real world working as a nurse I'm realizing how poorly Wagner's nursing program prepared me. Don't do what I did and pay WAY too much for a mediocre education.

You either love it or you hate it here and sadly I am not a huge fan. If you are a theater major or not interested in academics or social life that much then this is the place for you.
Overall 1.6
people are clique-y and rude. I can quote people who say "if you're not theater performance you're not worth my time". The teachers perpetuate useless work but know what they teach, however the staff like registrar, CACE, and food workers are absolutely clueless.SO to my girl Faiza that is the kindest food lady there. wish i had more characters.

Besides the one aesthetically pleasing tree by Spiro Hall, this school has nothing to offer. You pay thousands of dollars for fake chicken, asylum-looking dorms and internet made out of paper mache. If you picture college as a fun time with lots of parties, drop that expectation once arriving on campus. Save yourself while you still can. Godspeed.

All the food is gross, professors are hit or miss, and almost everyone is from Staten Island and a nursing major. I transferred out after my first year and it was a great decision. The school is way too expensive for what it offers, and they dont let you take more than 9 units a semester, not for high achievers. A good school for theater majors.
Overall 1.9
I wish I never went to Wagner College. It is an extremely depressing place and I haven't met one person who was glad they did go there (genuinely). The food is gross, the dorms are disgusting, the facilities are being held together by duct tape and a prayer, rats, mice, mold, asbestos, cockroaches, save yourself some money, and don't come here.
