Reading reviews responsibly

Student Reviews Are Valuable Context, Not a Complete Verdict

A student’s experience can be shaped by program, residence hall, commuting arrangement, financial circumstances, year attended and personal priorities. Two honest reviewers may reach different conclusions about the same institution.

Review the approved count, category results, written explanations and review dates together. A small number of reviews represents limited coverage and should not be treated as the experience of every Seton Hall student.

Confirm current tuition, program availability, accreditation, admissions requirements, financial aid and university policies directly with Seton Hall.
