Describe your favorite campus traditions.

Fayaz

William Paterson University is well known for it's diversity, small ration classes, and recently it well known programs of nursing and also music. William Paterson is personally best known to me because of it's small ratio classing. Since it has a small class, it's easier to learn from the teacher and the teacher can talk to you one on one. That is what William Paterson University is best known for.

We are known for being involved in activities and getting to know people on our campus.

Yan

To my knowledge, William Paterson University is best known for the nursing program. People tend to talk about how difficult the classes are. The students have to remember every detailed parts of the body, not to mention the words are extremely hard to make sense out of it. All i can say is: it's totally Greek to me. In addition, tests are also difficult to pass. It seems like some of my friends that majored in Nursing don't even have social life. Whenever i see them, they tend to have piles of books around them.

I would say the Music School and that flows over, because you constantly have opportunities to hear them play, whether in their auditorium or even in the school Cafe. Another would be the small classroom sizes. It gives students a chance to build relationships with their professors.
