So...why isn't there restroom access at the 24hr study area at the Kean University?? The commons.. I think that's what it's called...I was pulling an all-nighter (or at least I tried), but soon learned I was denied access to use the bathroom. This is not convenient for someone who is a commuter vs living on campus. Once you're there, that's it. And to add insult to injury, Kean, added a food vending machine within the space! So if you could provide food, why not access to a bathroom. Because even if the students have a choice to eat, they are definitely bringing some type of beverage like water to keep them hydrated while studying. If you female parts, consider going somewhere else to study; if you have male parts, I'm sure you can find a way to take care of "business". Just saying.

Just another terrible university with awful rude staff treating everyone like a paycheck rather than someone who wants to learn. Also heavy on the politics and lacking in education. I'm assuming people who go here don't have many other options so I'd suggest just not even going to college if you're going to go here. Technical degrees and trade schools are great at providing careers with lasting income.

I cannot for the life of me understand why an establishment that makes so much money on tuition refuses to provide its students with even DECENTLY-comfortable seating and adult-sized desks. Unless you're in a lecture hall, you're forced to sit in hard, plastic chairs with holes in them and a half-sized attached desk that you have to fold open to get in and out of. You're s*** out of luck if you're left- handed, because the desks are only attached on the right side of the chairs. There's barely any surface space to hold a single notebook let alone any room to rest your arm on. The rooms, especially in Hennings, are always either stifling hot or freezing cold - no in between. Literally people have been induced into medical episodes from the heat. Pretty much the only rooms with windows are the offices for faculty. That means you're stuck spending 3 hours in a hot room with no windows or ventilation, while bending in unnatural angles just to write or use a laptop on your desk (that is angled 45° from your midline). Do yourself a favor and bring neck and back pillows to class if you care about comfort. The only thing Kean guarantees by the time you graduate is a crank neck and advanced scoliosis.

Not sure how they are a university... I got accepted to the MSW program and was treated like a number it took three weeks for a registration error to be fixed because my advisor was literally ignoring me. She never called me back or replied to my emails. I contacted admissions twice and they referred me back to her both times!! Pathetic no one is working together and they are very hands off with their students. The registration problem got fixed and I wasn't even notified. I went to the orientation and that was when I realized the MSW program at "CANE" university was not a good fit for me. The professors emphasized that they were barely going to do anything unless we asked questions why am I going to pay over $60k for an MSW degree if you're not interested in teaching me anything? Then one of the professors was trying to make a point about cultural humility and respect for all people and made a very unprofessional and hurtful joke about suicide. He said if the students did not greet or respect their professors the students would be suicidal... What kind of toxic authoritarian attitude is that?! And this is someone who works in a social work program? I don't want to learn ANYTHING from him. The entire month that I was enrolled in that sloppy university no one could help me with setting up my email. No wonder during the orientation the professors kept emphasizing to not go to the chair of the department if there's an issue with a professor. Lmao they're a mess. They emphasized that several times during the orientation and even had a bullet point saying chain of command. The interim director of the department even warned the students to not go to the head of the department because they will be sent back to the professor. They talked to the students like they were children. I lost on a deposit but I rather lose that then over $60k for a poor education.
