Reviews of Saint Peter's University (University)

Ryan Britt

I would not have made it through college if it weren't for the personal care provided by nearly all members of this wonderful community. It was great to have professors who genuinely care about me and wanted to see me succeed! Go Peacocks!!

When my son left for orientation we knew immediately. ..this was it! A very caring and welcoming environment. He loves it! Truly a gem and the location is allowing him to explore nyc as well.

This is the treasure of Jersey City and perhaps even all of the Greater NYC area. The college is very reasonably priced, and the main campus is within a truly dynamic city very close to Manhattan. If you're a student, you will be challenged academically; but you will also learn a great deal and gain so much practical experience. Some of the classes I attended were easily on the "ivy league" level; and were anything but easy; but you will remember what you learned 10 years later. The professors actually care and will give you individual attention if you want or need it. I cannot give this college enough stars. I graduated from here in 1983; and I continue to hear good things about this university.

As a professor, I always enjoy active students willing to participate and present different points of view. Diversity and creativity are a key good mix.

Great school that really cares about the students.

Monica Gomez

Classes are great but the financial aid office is the worst, they don’t help you at all....

Nickolas Kintos

Saint Peter's University has small class sizes and dedicated faculty. Outside of the classroom, students have opportunities to work on research projects with faculty, and the school's location in Jersey City makes it relatively convenient for students seeking internships.

I wanted to go this school but it's extremely expensive, they have a great swimming pool though

I just spend 2 weeks here !

THE BIGGEST SCAM IVE EVER BEEN A VICTIM OF: I wish I didn't choose this school and I cannot wait to get out as soon as possible. I've currently been here for 2 years. My freshman year and fall semester of my sophomore year I lived on campus, and spring semester I decided to commute. 99% of the students here, including myself, chose this school because they gave them the most money in scholarships. THIS IS A SCAM. The school is millions of dollars in debt which is why tuition is so expensive. They give out so many scholarships because they need people to come to this school. If they didnt give out so many scholarships, most students would not be here. ALL OF THE BUILDINGS ARE OUTDATED, DINGY, DISGUSTING, AND HAVE BUGS AND ROACHES! I could not stand to live like that when I'm paying $8,000 a semester just for room and board. I don't live in filth and with bugs at home, im certainly NOT doing it at school. The campus security guards and residence life are rude and disrespectful. There is literally nothing to do at night time and the fact that the school is so strict makes it hard for anyone to have any type of fun. No sleepovers, unless it is of the same sex and you have to put in a request for a sleepover a week in advance. Then, all of your roommates have to approve your overnight request. Huge hassle just to have your friend visit. Also, this school reminds me of high school like this is 13th grade basically. Everyone has cliques and rumors are constantly spread. FOR COMMUTERS: PARKING IS SCARCE! First come first serve parking in 2 tiny parking lots and 2 slightly larger parking lots. Finding parking is a huge HASSLE, especially because most students are commuters and the lots are supposed to accommodate staff too. Parking on the street isn't an option because of JC parking enforcement, you risk a ticket.When I was a resident and had my car on campus, MY CAR WINDOW GOT SMASHED WHILE PARKING ON CAMPUS! even though there is supposed to be a security guard there monitoring the lots all of the time... and the security cameras "were not working" so they couldn't catch who did it. THE SHUTTLES ARE DANGEROUS AND NEVER SHOW UP! if you call for a shuttle to journal square at night, you'll be lucky if they come in 30 min. You're better off just walking back but then you risk walking alone at night. The shuttle drivers do not know how to drive and are all over the road, its actually pretty scary. Pros: literally nothing. Nursing program is okay but kind of all over the place. The only good thing is that the class sizes are small and professors are understanding and nice (mostly).

Saint Peter's does a remarkable job in providing a quality education and individualized academic and support services to help them grow to their fullest potential, in the 450 year old Jesuit Tradition.

Nae Williams

Horrible School Counseling program that is outdated and awful. I’ve learned more outside of the program vs. being in it. Most classes are a waste unless you have Professor Powers. What program offers abnormal psych online? That’s a class that should never been offered online. I learned close to nothing and paid for my degree. None of professors use the ASCA model which is something I learned from a colleague that attends a different program. SPU, you owe me a full refund.

Sandra Ferrari

I stayed there for a weekend retreat and it was fine.

John Mastriani

Fantastic. The administrators and coaching staff have been extremely helpful every step of the way. Even the head of campus security introduced himself to us during our visit.

Abdulrahman Aldughiather

My first experience in studying in America is a very helpful management, punctual discipline, excellent restaurant, clean and all around you is a collaborator

Anthony Borkowski

Like with most colleges and universities, you need to do your research BEFORE deciding where you want to apply. Don’t take their brochures at face value; if on a weekday tour of any school, try to walk around after the tour and see if you can find students in the major you want to study and ask for their honest opinions. Make arrangements with the departments to shadow freshmen level, mid level, and advanced classes to see what it’s like. Don’t just look at the tuition price and say “too expensive, I’m going elsewhere” or “too cheap, classes are probably poor quality”. Honestly, I think Saint Peters is a solid mid level school in terms of programs. I started with a major and minor in two departments that I ultimately switched to a major and minor in two other departments, but between those four departments one thing was common between them; there was opportunity in each. The science majors have the opportunity to do big or small research projects, art/theater majors have the opportunity to do performances, education majors have opportunities to TA at area schools, so on and so forth for most majors. A lot of schools will boast about students having opportunities, but what Saint Peter’s has is the ability to push a larger volume of students into obtaining those opportunities. Jersey City is a large city minutes away from NYC; most motivated students won’t struggle to find large or small internship roles as long as they don’t suffer from a fear of missing out on hypothetical “better internships”. Unfortunately no school is exempt from some negative aspects. While the school has a lot of great professors you’d love to study under, just like any other school it does have its fair share of ones you don’t want as your advisor or professor. Other than that, most of my other complaints would revolve around the quality of the dorms during the time I attended. Dealing with the billing department can also be a pain (even if they are the ones who owe you money). All in all this school won’t radically change the lives of every student for the better and put everyone on the path to becoming billionaires, but it’s programs are solid and reliable and will get you the foundation you need to have a long career in your field. And although I’m not a Christian, I do appreciate that they try to instill into their students a sense of giving back and helping others rise above.

I live next to two parking lots owned by saint peters littered with trash and neglected by the university. Feral cats are fed in the one lot and no one bothers to pickup the styrofoam plates and bowels that are left out with cat food. Pigeons swarm the leftover cat food and in turn crap all over the cars parked around the area. The neighborhood suffers from neglect and I am very disappointed in the way this university treats the community.

Karina Craig

Nursing program current student love it there !

Alexis Estrada

Great university !!

As a former student here for one year, do not go here. They will "scam" you at of your money like they did to me. Great people, great students, great teachers but the institution is a scam. I regret signing my application to come here.

L.C. Carter

I had 4 incredible years at St. Peter’s I considered myself to be very blessed I met so many people my professors who were so helpful and it doesn’t seem like I graduated 19 years ago in May 99 ,as a retired Navy Veteran I was accepted and truly felt very comfortable as a full time day student the staff and administrators made my time so special I was able to become a teacher and today I am able to assist my fellow veterans in reaching their goals. It all started with the first time I step on campus I have great time and memories and I will always say Thanks!

Kristen Nicholas

The professors themselves, are overall caring and helpful, but the graduate curriculum hasn't changed in 10 years, even though the education system has. Some classes are outdated and useless, as a result, you waste money on classes not needed. Besides that, it's impossible to get help from the bursar or registrar because the people working in the offices are not the classiest. They generally have an attitude and don't care or return calls.

Ken Angerstein

I went to school there and I worked there. St. Peter's is a FANTASTIC school with a welcoming campus environment. The Instructors were topnotch especially in the sciences.

In short, this school is not very suitable to students who wants conducive environment; resident life in Saint Peter's University it horrible, many students shows aggressive behavior and some staff member could be very racist against some races.

Saint Peter's University is home to a vibrant and diverse community of learners. It is a caring place where administration, faculty, and staff work together to help students achieve. Saint Peter's University is also the home of the Guarini Institute for Government and Leadership where students have an opportunity to interact with local, state, national and global leaders. The Guarini Institute is committed to inspiring the next generation of leaders by providing students with a bridge between classroom learning and real world politics.

Dear FLS International School (Saint Peter's University), I studied at FLS International school, Saint Peter's University for 8 months from December 2015 until July 2016. At there, I gain many experiences not only in the class room but also outside class room. Everyday I learned about English skills including grammar, listening, writing and speaking. I still remember the first day that I came to U.S. I could not speak English well but when I learned at the school, only a month my English speaking skill improve a lot and I also have more confidence to speck with the native speaker. Every month we have one day trip to go to many places with the classmate and teachers for example, we went to NYC Public Library, Coaster Museum etc. Between the trip, the students and teachers had many good memories and we were get closer. Eight months that I studied here, I had many friends from many countries such as South Korea, Columbia, Brazil, Japan etc. After everyone finished the school, we did not end the relationship between us. We continue to contact each other like a family members. In addition, I decided to study master degree in U.S., I have to prepare many materials of the application for apply. The teacher at FLS International school, Saint Peter's University help me to review my personal statement and also following processes of application. The teachers here also plan and told me about the detail of university here. After 3 months, I got accept from Saint Peter's University, Jersey city U.S. in MBA the concentration in International Business, I am so glad and the teacher here help me to learn more about how to study master degree at U.S, for example I learn how to write the essay in University etc. I would like to say “FLS International school at Saint peter's university” is a amazing place for me. I did not to learn only English here but I also have more family members here. Love FLS international school, Saint Peter's university Ploy Pipattiwakul (Ploy) Thai student.

Donald Goncalves

Wonderfully nurturing environment. This is a great school.

Amy Marcel

Saint Peter's is a great university because of it small class sizes, professors that genuinely care about your success, and welcoming community.

mike gooh

It feels like one of those colleges that makes you feel like your in high school all over again, with all the groupies this school has and not to mention everyone has their head so far up their ass it's ridiculous . This school goes about everything in such a strangely awkward way, I don't really understand it. Also, if you plan on living on campus, you might want to rethink that because the hungry, thirsty, and scheming RA's on the campus think they have something to prove, just a fair warning.

Rene Leon

Great place to get a good education

Jessica Tyler

My alma mater! Go St. Peters Go!

Jeff Manhattan

This a terrific university where faculty care about each student. My internship at Chase gave me a wonderful business experience. This school transformed me !

The university's Master of Public Administration program does a great job preparing students for leadership positions in non-profit organizations and government agencies.

Gulhan Bizel

I see that students are really committed to learn and curious to looking for new things. Students perceive strong network opportunities of the university that will help them for their corporate future. Huge variety of courses and keep opening new courses according to the new trends.

I find teaching as an adjunct in the Public Policy Program very rewarding. Most of the students are adult learners, raising families and working full time. The students are eager to learn and participation in class is excellent.
