Angelica from Manchester, NJ
Stockton is a welcoming environment in which students can thrive in not only their academics but their extracurricular activities. There are numerous options of things to do on this beautiful campus. It is a wonderful environment for all of us who attended Richard Stockton College of New Jersey, soon to be University.
Jessalee from Trenton, NJ
Richard Stockton College of New Jersey is an amazing college. The atmosphere is very inviting and promotes academic brilliance. The classes are varied and the professors are attentive.
George from Rochelle Park, NJ
Stockton University is a small university that is rapidly expanding. The average class size is smaller than most large schools, but the academic curricula are competitive with most other state schools. Ideal for both commuters and residents, Stockton is both affordable and distinctive.
Trevor from Egg Harbor Township, NJ
Stockton was an amazing experience for my undergraduate education. The school is located in the middle of the New Jersey Pine Barrens and offers a campus that reflects the institution's dedication to environmental preservation. An ever-expanding list of majors, minors, athletics, clubs, and activities keeps this liberal university interesting and relevant amongst the competition with NJ's other state schools.
Cory from Sicklerville, NJ
Stockton is has a very welcome and modern environment, and supports students of all backgrounds and affiliations. Many opportunities are offered to students to benefit them academically, such as Preceptor Advising day (each student is assigned an advisor based on their majors.) The classes Stockton offers are unique but may be hard to transfer to other schools, however most kids who end up leaving Stockton come back the following semester.
