What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
I never realized how hard the transition was going to be going from high school to college but the truth is my high school never prepared me for the challenges I would face. Adapting to a new area, making new friends and being away from my family was hard enough for me, and on top of this I filled my financial aid out late and got denied into my apartment because I was only 17 at the time. In my opinion all high schools need to offer a class to teach students life long skills that will help them in the real world. My senior year, I did not take seriously, and because I already had all my credits I took easy classes becuase I figured they would be an easy "A". I did recieved a 3.7 g.p.a. at the end, but if I had to do it all over again I would have taken school a lot more seriously because the scholarship money alone would have been worth it. Looking back I realize how unmotivated I was and how my decisions affect me everyday.

I fell that a good candidate for this school would include a person who is dedicated to academics. This campus is not the most beautiful campus, nor is the area it is located, however, the professors are wonderful. I have made many friends throughout my education at FDU, and would do it again. Students are serious about learning and succeeding in life, and faculty is serious about helping their students achieve this goal.

I attend a Community College program with Fairleigh Dickinson. I will be able to complete my Bachelor's and eventually my Master's degree at a satellite campus. The convenience that this allows me is priceless. My school also has a reputation of having the most expensive credits per semester. My school is sometimes known as "Fairly Ridiculous" because of the credit cost.

Read all 5 answers What is the stereotype of students at your school?
The overall stereotype at DU is that the student body is comprised of rich, white, snobs. The majority of students do identify as white or from upperclass, but being white from a working class background, I can attest to the fact that snobby is not the case. Students tend to be more open and the school's detailed focus on inclusion and diversity make it a safe environment for all walks of life. Especially in the residence halls, diversity is a main focus and students can be sure they will be welcomed.

Located in the metropolitan area of Teaneck,NJ, Fairleigh Dickinson University is a home of diversity and great academics. The size of this campus is just right and the distance between the buildings to get to class are reasonable as well. I spend most of my time at school in Dickinson Hall where the Silberman College of Business is located for business majors like myself. When I tell people that I attended Fairleigh Dickinson University, I always receive positive feedback that my school has a very good reputation. There is not as much school pride from students around campus as I expected it to be but there are creating more school activities and clubs for students to get more involved. The administration is pretty helpful if you are directed to the right people for answers to your questions.

One of my most favorite things about Fairleigh Dickinson University is the academics. The professors are all very friendly and are always open to help the students. Not only do my professors know my name, but they always provide flexible office hours for additional help if needed. As a business major, the students are highly competitive and class participation is always seen throughout the classes. The positive environment that FDU provides motivates students to acquire high grades and stay focused. I feel the school academic requirements are above average because once accepted into this school ,you are thoroughly prepared for getting a job.
