I was a transfer student to Ramapo College, coming from community college. I felt there was a genuine care for transfer students to ensure that they felt a part of the community and integrated well. I lived on campus and the building was for transfer students, which made it very easy to make friends and gain connections with others. While considered a 鈥渟uitcase school,鈥� there was still a lot of activity and it鈥檚 really up to you to make your own experience is what I learned. In terms of academics,... Read More I found that the psychology courses were useful, interesting and definitely not a walk in the park. You definitely have to contribute and put in the work, but overall I felt I got a great experience graduating from Ramapo. The professors were kind and understanding. I do think some of the intro classes you would take as a freshman should not be applied to transfer students (especially if they are coming in as a junior or senior) but I would suspect this was a way to have students integrate even more into the college community and gain a Ramapo experience.

My college experience was mixed. Depending on what you are expecting from a school, ramapo may fall short. This school is relatively small, located in the mountains, and is a textbook suitcase school. Needless to say, there is a slight lack of things to do when not attending class or studying. On a positive note, school, at the time of attendance, felt relatively safe, and the quality of academics felt high. There is definitely a balance, but I believe this school is meant for students looking for... Read More a specific experience.

I attended Ramapo College from 2009-2013 for my undergrad degree. It was an idea college experience. The campus is beautiful with lovely greenery and mountain scenery. It鈥檚 big enough to feel like you鈥檝e got plenty of options to explore and walk around without feeling overwhelming or like dorms/buildings are too far away. My dorm experience was that they were nicer and a more advantageous roommate situation than most. I had fewer roommates and more bathroom access than my friends at other colleges.... Read More I feel like my professors were available and matched my engagement. I got great mentorship when I went to office hours. I still keep in touch with two of them more than 10 years later! I loved the choir program too. Rigorous music and we traveled in the summer. I went to Guam and Russia (obviously we wouldn鈥檛 go there now). Getting to see the world and make music and memories was such an amazing experience. I鈥檓 so glad I chose Ramapo.

Overall, Ramapo College is a great college for those looking to save money on their education. There are still plenty of classes you can take, and some great people you will meet. I think the best part of Ramapo would be the campus surroundings. Located in the woods and in beautiful scenery, it just felt like home to me. I think Ramapo was also a great choice for me as I was a commuter and I knew numerous other commuters, I did not feel left out. Although a lot of people would say I didn't get the... Read More "real college experience" because I didn't dorm, but this was good for me as I was able to work through my college time and save money. It also is a bit of a "dead" campus with not as much to do than the larger schools therefore I think it was good for me to not have lived on campus. Overall, I did enjoy my college time at Ramapo.

My score would be lower if not for a hand full of professors in undergrad that truly cared. Prior to 2020 the college had its problems, but there were a few excellent professors that have since left. I returned in 2023 to pursue my masters, but it is now a disorganized mess. It is in a completely unacceptable state given the cost of education and the absolute abysmal support the student body receives. I know a lot of schools struggled adapting after COVID, but this school has not adapted. They have... Read More simply gotten lazy and realized they could charge more in tuition while cutting corners at the expense of our education. I never thought I would regret seeking to better myself and further my education, but here I am. My advice, save yourself the thousands of dollars and use SimplyLearn and YouTube because that鈥檚 what most of these online courses seem to use anyway. If a certification won鈥檛 cut it, look for a better program elsewhere.

I originally studied for one term at Ramapo College. While many things have improved since then, these are the Pros and Cons attending. 1) Lots of support from my advisor. She really helped me and when it was finals week, it was an overall good experience with progress made! 2) Excellent setting and surroundings. 3) classes were never overcrowded! Teachers were very good. 4) I loved my class we had for Seminar or orientation I guess it was. Tried and true ideas how to set yourself up for success... Read More like using the most remote parts of the Library to do work. 5) Great food options. I never had a bad meal there. Ultimately the 2 reasons I decided to transfer out was I did not find the offerings of courses that a large University offered and I graduated saving about $6000 a year as an out of state student. I went ahead and transferred to a huge University in another state where I got to try out more courses with a cheaper price tag. Of course the setting was not as beautiful but it worked out. I honestly remember the nice fresh air smells and it was really nice. I think this school is really a nice place to be but you have to know if you just really need that small school experience. The one group of students I thought met their criteria were the communications or international business students! They had opportunities that were pretty great. I鈥檒l always be glad I tried it out.

I was a student in Ramapo Colle's EOF program which tremendously helped defrey the costs during my first two years of study. Throughout my time at Ramapo I was involved and felt part of a larger family. I became a resident assistant my sophomore year of college and was involved as a peer educator, peer mentor and club president. Ramapo's career department help me land my first internship in accounting which later led to a full time job in my field after graduation. I will be forever grateful for...

I chose Ramapo College initially because at the time in 2010, it was building up its new Bioinformatics program. I was studying Bioinformatics even in High School for 2 years, and I had already known it was what I wanted to do with my life, even then. At the Open House, I could tell that it was a fantastic program, and at the time, very rare. It was one of the few schools in America offering the program to undergraduates, and it was the only public NJ school offering it at the time. Ramapo College... Read More is gorgeous, well priced, and it was right for me with a fantastic Bioinformatics program. It always felt like a home to me, and I always felt safe. I had so much opportunities there, including 2 years of original, independent scientific research, a summer internship with Cornell University (a connection gained through the head professor of the Bioinformatics program), and excellent classes and electives that gave me exactly the skills I would need in the workforce after graduating. I couldn't recommend RCNJ more for people like me who love the sciences and want to make a strong career out of it. I have seen even greater improvements and awards received for the science programs since I've graduated, so it would be an even better experience than ever! And about lifestyle and culture at RCNJ? Because of the small campus and community, it always felt like home. And I would find excitement in the nature surrounding the area and the friendships I gained.

Ramapo recently got fully accredited for their MSW program. The campus is lovely, parking isn't terrible, and it isn't difficult to get a handle of where everything is located. Professors at RCNJ care about their students; they take the time to get to know students. Classes are small and intimate. You do 1,200 hours of field work in two different field sites of your choice (300 hours each semester). I chose this school because of it's location, class sizes, and required field work hours. I wanted... Read More the opportunity to have more hours for experience. You get more here than Rutgers. Overall, I love the program! I have made great friends and have formed good relationships with awesome professors!

Ramapo College of New Jersey is a quiet college nestled in northern New Jersey that may seem to be not worth a look-see at first. Ramapo has been striving to improve its curriculum, support its sports teams, and create a passionate community on campus in order to become more well-known. During my time at Ramapo, I witnessed the TAS (science building) building receive a facelift as updated technologies and tools were introduced and installed into the facility. The faculty who oversees the new equipment... Read More are well-versed in their field of study. To top it off, your major dictates your academic advisor, and I was lucky enough to have my professor and research mentor be mine. This created a relationship both personal and professional, which attributed my success when it came to applying to graduate programs and networking with colleagues. Another thing that is attractive about Ramapo College is the low tuition rate, which makes the education you receive worth the price you need to pay. The location in Mahwah is also fantastic. On-campus housing in a safe suburban/rural area makes the living process stress-free. The local reservation and the open campus even allows some activities to do in your free time. Ramapo College of New Jersey is a jem of a school that definitely deserves more attention and should be kept on your radar as you consider where you want to start your college career.

Ramapo College of New Jersey has a great location. It was about 35 minutes away from home. Each class is 4 credits instead of 3 credits so you are able to take three classes a semester and still be considered a full time student. I found that helpful because I balanced a part time job with being a full time student. As a commuter student, parking was a nightmare and you had to give yourself an extra 10-15 minutes to find a spot and walk up to class. Many of the clubs on campus met late at night and... Read More I couldn't attend because I had work or had classes earlier in the day. I didn't make many friends when commuting to Ramapo. There were definitely some good teachers that made classes interesting and fun to attend.
