Great school. If you are a commuter, it is really hard to find parking in the morning.

It's not the worst school, but they just don't have anything that really justifies their tuition price. They're not significantly cheaper than other schools in the area and it's not a big name to people. The nursing program is supposed to be one of their best programs available but no one even talks about or recommends it. I work in healthcare in Wayne maybe 5 minutes from the campus and I feel it's pretty telling that every doctor I work with would sooner recommend Rutgers, Seton Hall or Montclair State. I never had much issue with any professors but the school's counseling and academic advisement teams are a joke. Overall, I don't think it would be a bad place to get a degree but probably wouldn't come back. Other schools nearby seem to have more to offer, a higher standard of quality, and most importantly they come with a name people want to hire from.

Worst University I have ever seen. Teachers hate students, and students regularly are robbed by the local thugs. Police would rather catch student smoking weed then being mugged on campus. I was told by a professor, "that I would not amount to anything in life because I have no respect." After complaint to the department they told me it was a regular thing and I should get used to it. Don't waste your time or money!!!

Did you know that NJ residents can use the WP on-site Research Library for free? I often go here to use the Psychology databases to do research for my books and articles! Very helpful staff and wonderful facility!

It seems like a part of campus is always closed because they are working on something. Its annoying walking around the construction sites just to get somewhere. Its sometimes very hard to make a good class schedule its either you have to go to class for three hours at night or the other classes that are available all at one time so its hard to make a good schedule if you have a job.

Phil Dressner

Excellent place to teach students. Facility is state of the art.

Danielle Lewis-Thompson

I came here on a full tuition scholarship and spent most of my time on academic probation. Why? Because when I went to the enrollment adviser and told her that I was probably going to fail computer science, she told me that if I dropped the class that I would not be full time and not eligible for my scholarship. After I failed the class, she told me that I could have made up the credits over the summer. This tanked my GPA, but maybe she felt bad about the bad advice, which is why I probably kept my scholarship even though I was under the GPA. This school is basically a good place to go if you know what you want to do and just need a degree to do it. All in all, this is a decent school, but you have to be focused and advocate for yourself as advisement is sub par. If so, you will be fine. The clubs and activities are great. Food sucks! Dorms are decent. It could be better, but it could be worst.

It's a college very affordable a good school to get a modern education.

Steven Gourdet

Hey it’s a great place to visit

Sandy Mcbain

Great facility's

Arom Ahmed

I had a great time when I studied at the William Paterson University. One of the things I disliked the most was about parking. Every Wednesday's it is hard to find a parking spot, specially during fall, and spring semesters.

John Russo

Went to William Patterson for a radio interview, and had a great time!

Debra Del Giudice

I wish I could give this school negative stars. This place is awful. The staff for financial aide and student services are horrible. Don’t ever except a call or email back if you send one out. No one knows what they are doing there and it is so poorly managed. Save yourself the trouble and don’t go here unless You want to be billed for the staffs incompetence.

Courtney Johansen

I am receiving a great education for a very small price. They give plenty of opportunities for scholarships and financial aid for a public school and every professor I have had is very attentive and willing to help outside of class.

keyhaan rodin

Extremely friendly students and staff, a lot to do

Jessica Henry

I would not suggest this college for people who are full time working adults. Very limited class times offered, hardly any night classes and 90% of classes are not offered online...even general education courses! They are also very unwilling to work with you if you cannot make a class during any of the times they offer. Most schools will allow you to take the class at another credited college and transfer the credits...WPU does not, not even for general education classes like math! I asked about taking three different classes at another school because of their limited class times and I got the same exact answer EVERY time...it must be taken at WPU. Why does a basic level math course have to be taken at WPU when you accepted my math class transfers from another school when I initially transferred in?!

I love this school. I have attended 3 other institutions and WP is by far the best school. I love the culture, the atmosphere of it. I never had problems finding parking so I am not sure what people are talking about. I am attending evening classes and have taken day time classes a few times. The staff is always very helpful and respond in a timely manner. The professors are wonderful and are always there to give you that extra support you may need. It is also located in a such a nice area.

Jeremy Paxman Jill Starr

Excellent as always despite Clyde Magarelli.Clyde Magarelli took me to Passaic county court to try to ban me from Graduating and got a restraining order against me here.But President Speert did not kick me out and call me insane like the New School for Social Scum and Research in NYC. I graduated with national and international honors and had free speech unlike the New School for Social Sleaze in NYC

Gabriel Melendez

You are on your own in this campus. It's better is you are a transfer student but prepare yourself for plenty of aggravation.

lawrence cattai

Great. Except for parking in AM.

Mario Rodriguez

These crooks basically stole my half my tuition money for dropping a class during the summer session on the 2nd day of classes. FYI its $355 per credit during the summer session and I paid $1,420 for a 4 credit course. Who in their right mind makes the drop date for 100% refund on the 1st day of class. It’s not like that during the fall and spring semester. There is no justification for this.

Jon Zauotis

Just awful. Their bowling team is TRASH. Anime Club...NON-EXISTENT. I mean, at least their business program is ranked #405. I mean, at least it's ranked. I barely got in, this school was so hard for me to get into. Now I wish I didn't get accepted. Willie p just aint it man. Would not reccomend.

Michelle Cortes
