I enjoyed my time as a student at Westfield State University. I commuted and did not build a ton of friendships while studying there. However, the professors and classmates I had made the experience very enjoyable. The classes challenged me more than I expected, but I needed that. I learned a lot and have applied that knowledge to my career.

Degree: Sociology
I am a current student, and the Criminal Justice Department is GREAT!!! However, the Sociology Department is a mess. Required Courses are not offered online regularly (as claimed). I was forced to take major requirement courses by special arrangement or prolong my degree because no teachers taught it online (even though offered as a totally online degree)! They cost me more money because they can't keep their end of the deal and provide what they sell.

Westfield State University is a beautiful school and I will have great memories for the rest of my life. The classes sizes were the perfect. It easy to build relationships with faculty. When I was about to graduate they were making a lot of changes on campus to better the school. The only thing I did not like was the location.

Westfield State University is a small university with a big heart. The faculty is amazing and truly committed to your success and career. With recent upgrades during the past few years, the school has improved their buildings, food, residential halls, and classes. Westfield State University is home away from home.

The Masters of Science Criminal Justice degree program from Westfield was exactly what I needed! Having classes nor only online but between 2 campuses (Framingham and Westfield) was ideal! The professor's traveled between locations to teach so I didn't feel disconnected from the school. I was able to complete my degree and get the job I wanted all because of the wonderful education and opportunities Westfield State University gave me!

I'm currently enrolled and taking courses for my Master's and after that I may look to receive a doctorate. I still believe college is worth attending. There are positions that don't require a degree, yes, opening doors to more positions within the organization but moving up the ladder in that way isn't a guarantee and can be rare. Most high level positions require a 4-year degree at minimum to qualify for a position along with working experience. Your best bet is to receive a bachelor's at minimum... Read More

Degree: Nursing
WSU, especially the Nursing Department, has incredibly dedicated teachers that will do everything in their powers to 'help' you learn! When they 'see' the light bulb go on and the student get's it - you can literally see the joy in their faces! If you ever are struggling, they dedicate their extra time to helping you - they never leave you. I feel such a special bond to my school, and if they decide to make a Master's program when I am ready to move on in my Nursing field, you better believe I will... Read More
