Stockton University offers 鈥渁 warm and welcoming environment to help students grow academically and socially.鈥� It鈥檚 the sort of school, according to undergrads, that 鈥渨ill go above and beyond to make sure a student is settled and comfortable.鈥� To do this, the school offers a relatively low price tag, a location students love, and small class sizes that 鈥渕ake student-teacher interaction 鈥� simple and easy compared to large lecture halls.鈥� Those conversations are enhanced by wonderful teachers that are 鈥渉elpful, informative, and willing to do anything for you to succeed outside and inside the class.鈥� (The faculty is also said to 鈥済ive great life advice.鈥�) Overall, professors come off as 鈥減leasant and down-to-earth,鈥� and appear to be 鈥渢ruly in love with their careers and [act as though] they truly care about their students.鈥�

The classroom鈥檚 not the only place to get a Stockton education. Undergrads note that the school鈥檚 programs 鈥渙ffer lots of hands-on, real-world experience鈥� through 鈥渞esearch, internships, and on-campus jobs.鈥� Two such examples are the 鈥済ood partnerships with the FAA and Atlanticare Hospital that create a lot of internships.鈥�

The student body at Stockton has plenty of words to describe themselves, including: 鈥渦nique,鈥� 鈥渇riendly,鈥� 鈥渃asual,鈥� and 鈥渨elcoming.鈥� While some definitely bemoan the fact that there are 鈥渇ew students who come from surrounding states and even fewer who come from further away,鈥� others stress that their peers are still 鈥渧ery diverse and different from one another.鈥� It鈥檚 a large school, and some claim that 鈥測ou never see the same person twice.鈥� Even still, one student claims that 鈥渆veryone feels comfortable around one another鈥� at Stockton. That includes students of any age, which one student supports by adding, 鈥淚 [think] Stockton is a great school for people of any age to come back to in order to get a degree later in life.鈥� Then again, perhaps it鈥檚 easy to get along when these 鈥渃urious,鈥� 鈥渉ard working鈥� students 鈥渁ll share a common goal: to succeed.鈥�

You鈥檒l have plenty of opportunities for socializing at Stockton: Students frequently 鈥渃ongregate in the main campus center 鈥� or in the food court where you can eat with your friends and watch TV.鈥� Plus, there are 鈥渓ots of fun and free events鈥� on campus, including bingo, craft, and movie nights. Those looking for exercise are also pleased, as 鈥減eople take advantage of the trails鈥� around campus and 鈥渦tilize the gym 鈥� all the time.鈥� For more outdoor fun, 鈥測ou can rent hammocks 鈥� on campus, as well as camping gear, kayaks, and canoes all for free.鈥� And even those who are seeking some entertainment off-campus will not be disappointed: Ocean City and Atlantic City are both close enough that students often take trips over the weekend. Note that since 鈥渢he school has a lot of commuters,鈥� you might find 鈥渢here aren鈥檛 a lot of people on campus during the weekends.鈥�
