I feel that with different majors this answer would vary, so I'll answer for nursing majors. You must have determination, compassion, goals, a good work ethic, and strength. The nursing program is very difficult, so to excell you should want it badly and study hard. You need to understand that you won't have a big social life for four years. However, it's all worth it when you get your degree and are able to do what you love and help people. Nursing is an art and you have to go through a transition to get there.

Being a student here, especially in the fall, is like reliving the beginning of the movie, The Lion King. With so many animals, you can't help but feel that the animals are a part of your student family.

William Paterson University may not be the most prestigious school in New Jersey, it may not have a strong sense of community, and it may not challenge its students to their fullest abilities.
