New Jersey's Regional Extension Center AT NJIT NEWARK Reviews

They're not doing remote onboarding during COVID, so don't accept a position here (even a remote position) unless you want to drive/fly in just so some guy can copy your documents.

Chem-E alumnus from less than a decade ago. I will try to keep things short so you can read other reviews.
You will not have a college party life here. Instead, you will learn to be vigilant with surroundings, you will also learn the needed technical knowledge for future work, and small family style classmates relationships.
I had great interaction with most professors (except the self inflated old douche - I m not talking about Dr. H because he is truly the best; the Asian-hating viet war veteran; and the physics II professor that only taught F=MA then flunked the entire class in the end).
I went to Rutgers for grad school. In comparison, Rutgers has great professors too but the classes are too big for them to know you. The courses are tougher at NJIT but Rutgers definitely provides the best platforms and resources for students to succeed, and has the largest network in the state.

Horrible school. It is all about money, and how to milk more money from you. Half of the professors are incapable of teaching. Very few classes for a large amount of people trying to get into the class. I have spoken to many people in this school, but those who sit behind the desk are extremely arrogant and unwilling to do their job. It is extremely rare to find someone nice enough to help you in anything in this school.

Was here this morning for Salesforce training and I could not have been more pleased with the outcome. Andrew McDermott is the truth! He guided me through what he believes my strengths are and showed me excellent networking opportunities. NJIT allowed us to use their spaces for this trailblazer meetup and for this I'm grateful. This is a hidden gem in Newark NJ.

Definetly worth coming with the generous amount of scholarships the school offers.

A school that gave me a chance to learn and grow into a professional that I am today. I'm forever grateful, if you are determined to work hard and prove yourself to the world this place will give you a shot and give you tools to succeed.

Nice place to study , good facilities and hell lot of activities .

An institution where you can learn a lot other than your academics..

One of the worst technology schools. I had received my undergraduate degree 2 years ago. This school has given me nothing but problems. Let me explain

----After 2 years, I receive a bill from NJIT Bursar office saying I owe them money. One of there prerequisites for graduation is that you cannot walk or graduate unless all of your bills were paid. After I was done with school, walked, and was mailed my diploma, I received a nasty phone call telling me I owed them money, some 2 years later. They did not email, mail, or call until 2 years after I graduated. On top of that they sent a collections agency against me which affects my credit history which is perfect. If you send your child to this school expect a hard time in paying for school, and expect misc bills to arise whenever. Hopefully paying this bill off soon will help save my near perfect credit history. I wish they would have notified me first.

----The education you will receive is also poor. Many of the best professors left, or unfortunately passed away. Even then, they are hard to understand. The education was beginning to decline around the end of my undergraduate term at NJIT. There was a lot of cheating occuring which was a disappointment because many professors couldn't do much. The university was so bad that they actually fired one of the best professors I had in my undergraduate. It was an Electrical Engineering professor. He was a really good professor, from which I learned many important skills I used in later classes and theories I use at work. He was a fair grader, but when no one studied, he failed a lot of those students. From there, the students had gathered a petition to fire him based upon him being crazy and old, and also unfairly failing students. I passed and so did many others prior to this. He was soon fired and students got away with murder. He was one of the few English speaking professors who could actually teach the students.

----As far as finding a job when your out, your on your own. The degree and campus do nothing for you. I had extracurricular activities and was President of a chapter at the school. It did nothing for me and I had to apply to some 200 jobs all over the internet. I had great grades by the way, an internship I gained on my own, and extracurricular involvement. I end up finding a technician job on CareerBuilder which helped me gain more knowledge and real world experience to help me land a real career opportunity with a more prestigious organization now. They looked at my hard work and dedication on my resume, and my experience, and it was enough. I looked, applied, and interviewed for a prestigious firm job. I had to work for it all and NJIT did nothing for me. After 4 years there, the most I got from it was Engineering Ethics which I stand by strongly, and V=IR. That is all I used once I got out of school. Please look around at other schools, such as Stevens Institute or TCNJ. Those schools are ranked higher and will actually offer you a solid education, opportunities of employment upon graduation, and a real good school experience.

I hope you find this review honest from an ethical standpoint, its based upon my 4 years at the school and seeing it through. I just rather whoever reads this take advice from someone who did well and still had to work harder than he would have at other schools where friends and colleagues went. Good Luck.

Considering its proximity to NY this is best located. Love the campus and the atmosphere here. Could have been bigger!!

best place to learn technology and an awesome campus in new jersey
come visit and come to the open house

Awesome school that will place you with a good job if you network and join the right clubs

A college that teaches you the cutting edge in tech. Also has some great choices for food like subway, taco bell, a sushi bar and salad station.

This school seriously needs to be re-located... somewhere safe!@!!!!!!!!!!

A good institute.

Pros:
1.It's in the Great New York area, thus there are many job opportunities after graduating, especially some majors such as computer science and chemical engineering.

2.Most professors and lectures are kindly and helpful (Ignore some crap ones).

3.Getting a master degree is easy peasy.

4.Many good communities such as CSSA, GSA and TauBetaPi.

Cons:
1.The campus locates near Newark downtown, so it's not always safe.

2.Tuition fee is very expensive, though I have a scholarship.

3.I don't like its cafeteria, maybe native students like.

4.Parking is not easy, and the deck is always full after 10:00A.M.

5.The number of students have been increasing for several years. There aren't enough classes for them. As I know, it is the case in many departments.

6.Van Houton library is not big enough for current NJIT.

This University has impolite and rude Graduate Associate Director staff. She answers our questions with bad temper. NJIT Admission Office has the worst staffs which we have ever seen.

It is the best technology school in new jersey and you will find a very good job after graduation.

The person below me is retarded. this school is horrible. I'd rather be home schooled by a caveman.

Rude teachers, not much parking, it s only 10% public and rest is private, teachers are not at all helpful, prices for everything and outrageous. I personally had so many difficulties from day one from admissions till now.

One of the best institutes to learn Engineering. Rightly said graduating from here not easy go lucky thing you have to work your ass off. Keep up with assignments and find a favorite spot on campus to study, you'll be good to go. Campus is safe. There is an amalgamation of reviews but many people review negative since they cannot cope up with studies. You ll find one of the best professors here. Mechanical Engineering Masters is pretty good and challenging.

all my classmates are dudes. wait nvm...she just walked in

New Jersey Institute of Technology is a great place to study. Located on a mass area of land, filled with great people that are always ready to help.

Amazing school but they need to get more parking decks closer to campus and liven up the place. Overall I could not have asked for a better education!

People that write negative reviews either don't know what they're talking about or flunked out. EVERY school has issues with money and rude people. Get over it, that's life. So do your job and everything will be ok. Me and three friends of mine that graduated started working a week after graduation. Our employers said the reason was "...you're an NJIT graduate, that's all we have to know...". Our jobs our in the fields we studied also. So, if you want to go to school and party, go to the University of Florida. If you want to study hard and be recognized, go to NJIT. Period. Heck, even the keynote speaker at the commencement was a retired (and proud) computer geek! We are all proud nerds! Get a degree that counts for something, go to NJIT. Party after graduation!

This university is a very good institute with professional personnel

I went to enquire about their master's program. I was made to wait an hour before I could see their advisor. I wanted to enroll part time as I was working. But they treated me as if I was a fresh college graduate. The information I was seeking was not forthcoming. Instead they started evaluating my credentials and asking me to take GRE. So much for a sub standard school. I work for Qualcomm and we don't even consider njit students for internships. My bad I went here to enquire. I eventually ended up with Georgia Tech.

This place isn't the best for guests who visit students. Very displeased by that. Otherwise, the place doesn't seem too bad for students.

If you are looking for free parking, park on the one way street by the frat houses on your way to the parking deck. If you are looking for the best bang for your buck at a university. You are in the right place! The Gym is brand new and state of the art and the CKB has the best bathroom for #2. The library isn t as cool as it used to be and the cafe also fell off. Just go to downtown newark for good food. (During the day) the prayer hall in the basement of the campus center is also a huge plus!

The NJIT instructors are great and review a topic. However physics instructors are okay or bad. One physics teacher is bad at answering the student's questions.
The free tutors are great in this school. Therw are plenty of math tutors and CS tutors. Physics tutors are lacking however.
Student Health Services office sucks. The Vaccine requires are too strict. They wanted me to take 3 hep B shots when my doctor told me I only needed 2 shots of hep B. I had to get hep B blood work to show I am immune. That was a hassle and a waste of money to get a blood work. The SHS are slow to respond to my emails.
The weekends can be boring because there are a lot of commuters. That does not bother me but can be a problem for some people living on campus.

hand on course and more professional course.. good professor

I definitely like this school better than Kean University. Tuition is always going up, the academics are not the best and so is the reputation. NJIT is much better than Kean and I have learned alot. This is perhaps one of the most underrated schools in NJ if not in the USA. As long as you put in the effort, it will be worth it. Believe me.

Lovely experience so far... As far as you know what subjects you want and you planned ahead a bit, there is nothing stopping you from acquiring skills here...

Campus centre is always alive with activities and such! And love how all the surrounding universities integrate with each other...

Great faculty and they're working really hard to catch up with the more famous unis in the country.

it is a nice place to be and l wish one If my son to study there

I would love to join this school because technology is my goal

I would only rate this school 2 star because the professors are awesome. I'm a Computer Science major and I find that there are very good profs in the CS department. The campus is beautiful and great activities and that's all. The area around campus is very dangerous, you shouldn't go out alone after 5pm. Robbery is like every week. The academic advisors are unhelpful, they're not profs like other schools so they don't know anything. If you need some advices, you're better look up on the university's website or meet your profs. Class registration system is suck and full of errors. The university accept A LOT of students but they wouldn't open more classes so you will end up with taking classes that you're not interested in or do not count to your program. I wanted to finish my degree and get out of here asap but I can't because they just don't want me to take enough courses needed.

The Best University with diverse background of students. Could clean up the place around Njit a bit to make it cleaner and safer

Very challenging. You cannot come here to "get through school." NJIT has one of the top engineering programs in the nation and it's an underrated school. Sometimes you will be convinced that there's no way you can make it, but at it takes is working hard and studying hard. Stay on top of everything, be ahead of the lectures, read on your own, and do homework ahead of time. In the end you will be elite and have so much knowledge at your disposal that you can make anything you want possible.

NJIT has great education for a low price compared to similar institutions. They have many programs to help you get through such as study sessions, learning communities, and tutoring that really help. There are many clubs to join, great people to network with, easy to make friends, many events to be involved in, and good parties that help unwind. Lastly, there is a system to help you find jobs and internships. Companies come to do interviews every semester and employers can easily find you by your set of skills and talents through the system.

Don't give up, dream big.

4 stars based on overall education, campus activities and clubs, and price.

Quite literally the best school ever! Everyone you will encounter here are sweethearts!

EE Alumni here. Oh man some good memories... But seriously bruh..Would be good if y'all stop calling me donate money literally every other day. I donated once and yall started to call me more often. I'm just an average engineering dog and I'm not making millions..It's time to STOP

I think Joel Bloom's self assigned $149,000 incentive to stay at our school is a great use of campus resources. Let's keep up the good work!

I had two of my masters degree here at NJIT. I could say this is the place where I transformed from a student to an entrepreneur. The professors and faculties I met here are professional, dedicated and considerate. Some of them became my mentor and friends. This is what I like about NJIT. If you are looking for a great university to transform yourself for a better future, NJIT could be your top choice.

There is a giant sculpture of a cathode ray tube TV out in the quad, and so that constitutes 5 stars.

I would rate this school as ok. There are many different things to do on campus as well as two great gyms. One was just built and has a ton of cardio equipment while the other is more for weight lifting. The professors are hit or miss with quality and the reason why usually is the language barrier or their overall age. Most of these tech schools have a labor pool to pick from that also competes with other bigger colleges so of course the youngest and brightest go for more pay. Then there is the issue of the age of some professors. Some are way past being capable of teaching due a lack of mental sharpness.

With all this said am i going to complain, no. The tuition is cheap, the equipment is great and for everything the professors lack the numerous tutors the school hires make up for it. My tuition is about 17k per year and thats not bad. Fed loans and grants can cover all of that so no need to go the private route unless you need to. If you want ivy league teachers then go to an ivy league school. I would say that at least 70% of the professors know their material inside out and can communicate it effectively. 20% know the material but cant communicate the concepts due to heavy accents and the rest are just trash. Saving 22k + per year is worth it for me. Also remember that you get out what you put in.

I took one of my two masters degree at NJIT. The professors and faculties are professional and supportive. NJIT is a top choice.

Admission and Bursar are not friendly. It is so diverse that you won't be able to understand some professor's lecture(accent). Tution fee is high compared to the education.

Exactly what I get from NJIT: higher level of education and gain experience. Tip: Be nice to people and people will be nice to you even at NJIT #karma

Excellent Universitet
Took a MSc in Civil Engineering in 07.
It was easy to get a job and to understand the duties and making a career.
I can strongly recommend the school of engineering at NJIT.

A small school with some great faculty and plenty of opportunities for success.

STAFF IS INCREDIBLY RUDE! Even advisers and common office staff are extremely impolite and rude. you feel like youre walking on eggshells when you talk to them because you never know when theyre about to flip out. I honestly hope someone important at NJIT sees this and makes some efforts toward getting rid of their rude staff, i dont feel comfortable in an environment with a bunch of nasty people

Electrical Engineering Alumni. The school gives a good education at a great price. I would recommend living on campus rather than commuting if possible. All of the residents I've spoken with enjoyed it but many of the commuters complained that the school wasn't good. Those commuters never spent anytime there outside of mandatory classes.

Is New Jersey State that brings Science talented student.

Great bang for your buck. Very little "green" space on campus. The new administration seems to think that unnecessary buildings are a better use of space than grass/trees/nature. Classrooms are in poor condition (some blackboards are completely useless and the white boards are very small, furniture is useless in many classrooms). Professors on average are a little below OK.

I believe NJIT is a big part of Newark NJ future the growth of the school is phenomenon good luck to the future gratuities

This address 323 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd is wrong! who put it there? It points to the Campus Center, but when you google map it, it is 4 blocks away from NJIT!

I am driver for Academy Bus Company.. Kids during summer season are learning instead of playing at school..

New Jersey Institute of Technology is the state's public polytechnic university and a leader in STEM education, research, economic development, and service.

This is a fantastic school that has been very instrumental in my life. Most of the one star reviews on here are without merit, or come from current students whose paradigm facilitates a world where education is not required for success. This school offers wonderful value for the money, and really deserves more attention and funding. NJIT plays a critical role in revitalizing Newark, which should not be overlooked.

charge each student 200 extra for filing OPT/OPT extension every time. Not a good sign of school but running a good business

Professors at this school need to learn to be more polite & create a welcoming LEARNING ENVIRONMENT. I find that many professors don t care about you actually learning and are horribly condescending when you dare to ask a question. This school isn t hard because of the material. It s hard because the professors are utterly unreasonable, their materials are different from the exams, or they speak in an accent so heavy that you think they are speaking another language. They don t care about working around financial issues, you lose 20% of your grade off of $80-200 hw (for every single class) bc they are too lazy to post it themselves. What are they being paid to do? This school is definitely NOT worth the money.

New Jersey Institute of Technology is a public, comprehensive university founded in 1881 in Newark, New Jersey, with a campus area of approximately 45 acres. The school is a university with equal emphasis on education, research, service and economic development. The University has 92 degree programs, including 33 undergraduate degrees, 40 master's degrees and 19 doctoral degrees. The University currently has 423 full-time teachers, 98% of whom have a Ph.D. or the highest degree in the field. New Jersey Institute of Technology has six colleges, including: engineering, architecture, liberal arts, management, computer science, and more.

I received an email from an apparent scammer claiming he was my internet provider (Cox Communications) wanting me to fill out a form giving my username and password. Sent two emails to officials at the school and received no feedback. What's even worse, the guy writes in broken English. If they don't care about the ethics of their students, they are apparently another "computer mill" just in it for the bucks!
