Montclair State University

My review it’s about the gym in the facility. Which was pretty impressive.
One of my friends it’s a student in MSU and took me there to try out their gym. They charged me $ 5 and they were giving out free samples like face creams.
They have a good selection of machines (the basic ones) most of them were for cardio. They have a free weight section as well. Inside the gym track is available.
The gym is very clean, even the bathrooms. I would come back for a quick workout any day.

So I went here this past fall for an alumni football game and my college was the visiting team. So I was there to watch the game and to do some alumni mingling during the half time. first off thank you MSU for acommidating that this past september. however the parking situation is horrible. I mean it was so confusing and then just false. It seemed like we can park in a lot that was somewhat near the stadium. we weren’t sure and there was none of the campus security to ask. so we asked students and people that were near by. they said we were good and can park there. there was also no signs that said we couldn’t. so we did. we came back a few hours later to a parking ticket for illegal parking. Even campus staff that was at the game said it was ok!
I am just making this review though based on visiting the campus for a first time and not at all on there academics or anything for prospective students. i think this whole driving situation should be fixed tho for everyone.

Terrific arts program, and the Feliciano Center for Entrepreneurship is doing truly excellent work for young people interested in building careers in business.

I was here twice with the family to watch my cousin perform her vocal recital. We had to park at a garage and then head over to the John J. Cali School of Music. Her performance was inside the Jed Leshowitz Recital Hall, which was in that school building. Last time was for her midterm recital, and this time was for the capstone.
When we walked inside the school, we saw that the recital hall was on the right side of the building, which was next to the hallway filled with lockers. The recital hall consisted of numerous rows of non-​reclining chairs. There was a separate area on the right which consisted of more chairs (handicapped area?). On the upper level, there were more chairs (probably for staff members) and an area for technical people to control the operations of the theater. Of course, on the grand stage, situated a piano.
I actually had the pleasure of filming my cousin’s performance. I filmed from the right side (handicapped?) part of the theater. It was fun filming her vocal performance and the accompanying pianist. The sound quality in the theater was excellent, and the lighting on and around the stage area was superior. Those of you who have to film performances in this room will benefit from the light and sound qualities available here.
We had to park in a garage that was right by the sports complex. The overall condition of the garage was just okay. But the machines that we had to utilize to pay for the parking didn’t work very properly. The parking attendants there had no clue on how to assist with completing the parking payment processes there. One star is removed for that reason.
Overall my experience in visiting this school to film my cousin’s capstone vocal recital was a very good one. Just a heads-​up that if you’re trying to look for the men’s restroom in the School Of Music, you would have to walk past the theater, make a left on a corner, and you would see the restroom there (left side), which is across from a set of tables and chairs. Women’s restroom is right across from the theater. Water fountains are located right by the theater. Finally, if you arrive late for the show’s beginning, you would have to wait until the intermission so you could enter. During that time, you can see the performance on the TV screen above the theater entrance.

The way this school is run is a joke. Not a funny one either. Over the four years attending classes here (roughly 14 – 16 credits a semester) I have had nothing but problems seeing advisors, picking classes, and transferring credits. You see I transferred in from Rutgers University after my Gresham year because commuting seemed easier and cheaper than forming at the Rut. I was scammed in other ways at MSU. I was told that NOT ONE of my classes could be transferred from Rutgers but they gladly accepted ALL credits from Bergen. (A community college) this is ridiculous to me. Not only that but seeing an advisor is near impossible and after actually finding one, they seem bothered to help you. Sometimes after I would follow the advice given, I would return later only to be told what I did was the wrong thing to do and more classes (by advisement) would be needed. Is this a lazy way of making more money off me? And to add insult to injury the parking here is Horrendous. It seems like nearly every semester a new building or 250 THOUSAND DOLLAR HAWK STATUE is going up and taking the funding for a simple parking spot. I often have to park in a lot literally covered in pot holes and mud just to return to a 50 dollar parking ticket that they gave (by mistake). MSU is a total scam advertised as the most diverse and cutting edge school. Oh and btw this is a commuter school!!! But you wouldn’t know that by the way they don’t close the campus during a STATE OF EMERGENCY!!!

On March 9^th, I had attended «The 2015 Taste of Montclair» at the MSU Conference Center.
It was a culinary tour of over 45 Chefs and restaurants. This is an annual fundraising event put on by the Montclair Rotary Club. Glad I came to this event hungry. There was so much food to eat.
I must say, everyone wore a smile that evening. It was truly enjoyable to sample a variety of ethnic foods. Beverages such as wine and water were additional cost.
All shops and restaurants provided wonderful samplings of their foods such as flavored snowcones, chocolate truffles, rums, crepes, burgers, lamb, wild boar etc…
There were musicians playing for entertainment.
Definitely would return for the 2016 Taste of Montclair!!!

Very good education and very clean. Check it out if you want to send your kid. We are glad we did and are about to enjoy our daughters graduation ceremony. She worked hard and completed in 3 years for 4 year degree. Great to be here as MSU does things right.

Unless you’re here for classes or a show for the arts I can’t imagine why anyone would randomly visit MSU.
The campus is under renovation but so far it looks great. The campus is well maintained and I’d say it’s 95% clean at all times, which is nice.
There’s ample parking but you’re going to have to do some walking, which is fine with me.
Also, it’s the first and only college campus to have its very own diner.

I’m a commuter, and parking can sometimes be a B. But the professors I have had at MSU for the most part have been good, some even great. Honestly, I think that college is what you make of it. Research your teachers, and check out class descriptions. IMO, I like the campus, and the gym is beast!

I came out of here as not a total dumbass and have a job where I make pretty good coin so I guess MSU works.
