School of American and International Studies
1055 "The political science department should move away from the study of
empty philosophy which doesn't help to prepare the student for the job market
and have more classes like Methodology taught by Prof. Teigen. His position of
put the science back in political science"" makes him the best professor in that
department. Make poli-sci more a math/science/statistics/ major so that
graduates have actual hard skills they can offer the employer. The Rand
corporation HR doesn't care if you know plato or any other nonsense like that.
The focus should be on quantitative analysis."""
1093 College was great experience and I am happy I received my degree.
Receiving my degree has given me confidence overall.
My new pursuits have
nothing to do with what i majored in but college has helped me learn to think
analytically and more creatively overall. I am now pursuing my dream to become
a country singer/songwriter in Nashville.
1276 The limited number of students in each class; the faculty; and the
campus diversity help so much to make Ramapo the flourishing school it is.
1290 They education department need to add special eduation classes and
have more practicle experience with children classes.
5027 The campus is beautiful and the people are very welcoming but the
college has been VERY disorganized the entire time I was in school there
including graduation.
5084 Ramapo needs to address the racial discrimination that still goes on
around campus. Student activities on the weekend need to be more engaging.
Ramapo offices need to communicate with each other instead of relying on the
student to relay information back and forth.
5093 I loved Ramapo. I had issues with the Education department
secretaries because they treated me with disrespect constantly. But that was
only bad experience I had at Ramapo. All of the professors in my major were
amazing. I am currently student teaching and I have recommended Ramapo to my
students looking into colleges.
5103 Ramapo is a wonderful place to grow as a person! It's also just a
wonderful place. Please consider lessening the readings so that people can
actually complete them. More concise readings need to be chosen for everyone's
benefit. Or reevaluate the way material is learned by reading first.
Anyway
continue fostering the values Ramapo espouses in its mission statement. The
Birch is also great. Staff are friendly helpful open to suggestions. I've
heard the Pavilion is good too.
Now please though hear us out on this:
Some professors have wonderful extensive knowledge in their field but were
never trained to TEACH. They need to do things other than lecture from
powerpoint outlines each and every class. Professors in general though are
great people at Ramapo.
Best wishes

5155 The white population of students is too large. There needs to be
more Asian American students and African American students.

5283 "This survey is bullshit. The professors are brilliant at this
institution. However the administration is shit. If you have any indication of
who I am which you probably don't since the administration keeps a safe
distance from most students then you will know that these are strong words
coming from me. Perhaps you should start spending you money on the things you
ask about in this survey -- such as academics. We are in desperate need of
diverse classes and professors. And this school plays diversity."" Having a
diversity week and suggesting that others should love one another
unconditionally is not embracing diversity. Also there should be FAR more focus
on academics. Ramapo does not inspire intellectual curiosity. You treat the
students like elementary school children and then try to take the claim when
they achieve something on the collegiate level. I got into Columbia because of
the professors everything else at Ramapo did NOT contribute to my success.
Thanks. """
5323 Suggestions...stop with all the bureaucratic nonsense in clubs.
Having us fill out ten different forms and then having to send copies of each to
twelve different people really makes it hard to find anyone wanting to be an
officer. Oh and it isn't that I didn't see plenty done at Ramapo to increase
the awareness of students in U.S. politics international issues and
technological development it is just that I personally didn't need any urging
in those areas. I already actively participate and follow politics and I am
really good with technology as it is.

students.
I enjoyed the campus surroundings and highly recommend it to other
5527 I really enjoyed studying at Ramapo. I liked the small class sizes
and found that I receieved the individual attention I deserved. Moreover all
the professores I had were wonderful.
5595
I finally did it!!!
5628 "I think Ramapo is a fantastic school in an academical sense.
Classes were fun and engaging and professors and advisors were extremely
knowledgable. However the recent activity outside of the classroom has gotten
progressively more restrictive and foreboding. Security and essentially the
school seems to lack the ability to sensibly deal with any situation that
occurs which goes against its outstanding academic reputation. Parties
drinking outside gatherings are all handled in an overly strict manner. While
there are rules and regulations to abide by for every party involved the
school lacks a collegiate"" mindset which is poorly reflected upon the student
body. Rules are imposed for everyone's safety agreed. However this is
college. If there is one arena for students to engage in personal debauchery
poor decision making or have a party that unites strangers into friends this
is IT. Ramapo's inflexibility to understand this asset of a college is both
bizarre and unwelcoming. For these perpetual hassles imposing ungodly strict
regulations and consequences on the social aspects of everyone's stay at Ramapo
I have told numerous people to search elsewhere for a college. This is not to
make me sound like some party-hungry college student who puts partying over his
academics. I've maintained a high GPA become a member of the National History
Honor Society and participated in on-campus groups. Ramapo simply needs to
recognize that there is a rather large breed of students who can party hard
and at the same time work hard to achieve success. Getting a degree is the
foremost responsibility of a student but if you cannot have any fun in the
meantime what the hell is the point of college? I seriously hope SOMEONE reads
this paragraph and it is not just scanned by a computer that files it as
Ramapo College of New Jersey
Appendix page B-2
Office of Institutional Research and Planning
mindless blabber from a notorious student. Also I am aware of numerous other
students friends and my roommates as well who have told potential students to
search elsewhere for an ""all-around"" awesome college experience. Ramapo has
the potential to be this ideal college but as of late it seems to be steering
further and further away from this title.
If this is a person actually
reading this thank you for taking the time to hear out my thoughts. If this is
simply a computer thank you for scanning legitimate concerns that will be
devoid of any further consideration."""
5636 A history methodology course must be offered. Too many students do
not recognize the value of standardized research and strong composition skills.
Our history program would benefit from a course that stressed these skills and
forced students to demonstrate proficiency in them.
5690 Security gave me a citation for running a stop sign ALONG with a
ticket from Mahwah PD. That is why I would NEVER recommend Ramapo to anyone.
5766
I hate this school
5787 As a commuter I felt like nothing was very easy for me to get
involved with. I had no clue about the plans for senior sendoff until yesterday
because of the lack of communication between the school and the commuters.
I
had fun at Ramapo and I truly enjoyed my time but I felt that because I was a
commuter I was intentionally shut out from certain events because of the
constant attention paid to the residents who live on campus.
5819 I did not live on campus and I am a returning mid-40's student. In
spite of my age and non-residence status I enjoyed wonderful relationships with
a variety of fellow students and faculty.
5839 When giving tours to new potential students the BSU Black Student
Union office should be pointed out and also mention that the office is open to
anyone. Mention of the caucuses under BSU is also a very important aspect.
Part of the reason I came to Ramapo was for the Caribbean club.
Also the
eateries here should have a juicer or an option for juicing. It is a very
healthy way of life and would positively impact anyone who got involved with it.
5862 I think school should give more importance to International Studies
major. We did not have enough language classes. Such as 300 or 400 level French
courses that could be available every or every other semester.
Anisfield School of Business
1185 The majority of the courses in the Information Systems major were a
waste of time and the degree itself does not help in obtaining a high technology
job. The curriculum should be modified to include IT standard industry
certifications that are popular in the field. Focusing on certifications will
help graduates have a higher starting salary as well giving them more workappropriate knowledge.
1246 "This was a good survey to generate positive feedback and understand
some experiences from Ramapo Alumni but was not as inclusive as I had hoped. It
was too heavily weighted on racial inclusion as were many aspects of Ramapo
and ignored many social areas of college life. Ramapo College of New Jersey has
continuously ignored the fact that it is a suitecase school"" and showed very
little interest in changing this. """
Ramapo College of New Jersey

1251 Ramapo needs better connections with more reputable companies for
internships and jobs for graduates specifically within the Business major. It
seems as if the only people who got good internships or got decent jobs out of
school was through a relative. Unfortunately those who don't have relatives in
their area of interest are stuck.
1287 Ramapo College has a considerable history of allocating their
efforts to control students instead of letting them use their time at Ramapo
College to truly broaden their horizons without the social restrictions forced
upon them. im not saying let students run wild but give them the freedom and
the opportunity to find themselves through social interaction while aiding them
in molding their future and preparing them respectively.
5134 Please excuse my language. College was neat overall. I don't
think I'm going to need 80% of what I learned so far to excel in the real world
though so essentially I've just been paying for a diploma for the last 4 years.
It's the stuff that I WASN'T tested on that mattered the most which says
something about our schooling system overall not just Ramapo. Our education
system could be better. As far as learning things for the real world is
concerned: these courses teach me a LOT but if I wanted to excel in the job
market I would have focused on getting lots of co-ops and internships in the
field as opposed to taking classes. Why? It gives me practical knowledge.
Sure if people in the real world knew half of the shit taught in these classes
the corporate world probably wouldn't be filled with as many scumbags.
But...hey I'm ranting. I'm sorry. I'm happy as all hell that I went to Ramapo
on a whim didn't even tour the place before I came . It changed my life for
the better I think so far. Had to put up with a lot of punks while doing it
though I'll tell you that much. Whatever.

5192 While I feel the teachers for the most part were extremely helpful
I thought the administration at Ramapo was sub-par. I could never get a problem
resolved quickly and I was constantly being told that I needed to go and talk to
some body else. It seemed to me that nobody wanted to take any responsibility
for helping the students.
5196 "I think that the business school needs to evaluate their professors
better. Even though we do evaluations at the end of the semester I feel that
nothing gets done with those. There are many professors in the business school
that don't know how to teach the subject matter and students need to teach
themselves in order to get a good grade. Some other professors think that their
view is the only right view and give a below average grade if you have a
different view on something. I feel some of the professors in the business
school aren't concerned about the learning of the students they are more
concerned about themselves and showing"" off what they know. On the other hand
I had a few professors who taught me a lot that I am bringing to the ""real
world."" """
5331 I loved my four years at Ramapo College I pretty much don't want to
leave. It was the greatest four years of my life and I had a blast every day.
I am involved in Alpha Epsilon Pi which is the greatest decision I ever made.
The classes here were awesome and led me to my career on Wall Street. This
institution is simply amazing.

5429 Ramapo should listen more and interact more with the students!
Ramapo should try a lot harder to do things that will stimulate students to stay
on campus during the weekends instead of going home!!! Security should be less
agressive when it comes to 'breaking up' parties. This is the number one reason
why students go home on the weekends and why so many people complaint about
security. After all this is college and most students would like to enjoy it
before going into the real world. Ramapo is an excellent school with
extraordinary faculty staff and students. But there are many things that
should be done in order to make the college experience better for most students.
As an example: why would Ramapo change Maple Hall from being a sohpmore resident
into a freshmen one?? One of the reasons students come to Ramapo is because of
its excellent housing. Don't ruin it for further generations that come to
Ramapo. Thank you.
5480 The school is fantastic but whether or not I would recommend the
school to future students I would say I am neutral. There are a lot of good
schools out there. I am not certain Ramapo does enough for their students to
set themselves as better than those other good schools. Students are not
treated as well as they protentially could be. College students want to have
fun at school and Ramapo should focus more energy on that aspect. Also more
major student activities should be done on campus Large concerts festivals
shows plays etc.
Overall though it is a great up-and-coming school.
5592 "The only reason I would not recommend this college to other people
is due to the administration. Everywhere you turn there is red tape it seems
like no one answers your questions or does their job. There are too many people
here that are on a power trip and don't deserve it. It is ridiculous that
certain secretaries in certain offices hold more authority over you then the
dean of a certain school. You should know what I am talking about. The
registrars office is totally unwilling to help you but they will if you push
hard enough and know the right people. Its sad that you have to know people"" to
get things done at a school. Everyone that works here is SUPPOSED TO BE here for
the STUDENT not some personal agenda! I have had so many problems due the
administration here and it will probably happen up until the day I pick up my
diploma.
The two reasons I would tell someone to come here is because of the
professors and the student body. I did receive a good education and I have made
great friends here but beyond that I won't miss this place. """
5596 "Ramapo College takes a very common approach to education where the
attitude of academia and its role in a person's future livelyhood is very narrow
minded. My opinion is that Ramapo College makes the presumption that every
student is obtaining a higher education so they can get a 'good job' but in
reality most of my classmates at least in the business school talk about the
goal of owning their own businesses not sitting in cubicles. Let the people
without educations do that. A 'career oriented' curriculum will not help the
future generations of Ramapo students nearly as much as one that offers the
concepts of self-sustenance through personal investment and ownership.
Unfortunately the reason behind a college degree has become nothing more than
another barrier to entry to gainful employment and I've had to learn this the
hard way both through Ramapo my own corporate employment experiences and
through the successes of my own ventures. If Ramapo truly wants to deliver
unparalleled value in education to its students it will itself learn that
trends change and small business is the new great career"". Change the business
program's electives. If I pay to learn about business don't make my
certification contingent upon subjects exogenous to my interest or needs. Where
are the personal finance or small business finance requirements? Where are the
'planning for retirement' courses? How about budgeting and making personal

profit? All in all I found that while Ramapo certainly increased my knowledge
it could have achieved so much more than it did. Why on earth would I want to
learn corporate finance?? and TWICE at that! I am currently working IN
corporate finance and I can say from a truly unbiased position that the courses
were worthless to my success."""

1122 colleges are getting too expensive to the point where its not worth
going because after u wont be able to get a job where it pays the amount you
thought or hoped for. But Ramapo is reasonably priced. So keep it that way.
People paying 20k-40k a year for a school will be very upset when they get into
the real world. They wont be able to get the job they were told they would
because tehre are 100's of thousands of them out there and they willhave these

5152 "Listen I'm not bullshitting about this... stop giving out so many
parking tickets and fines for room crap and for the love of god alcohol
violations... I know the rules are the rules- and thats fine but I also know
that in back of all this Ramapo College is a business and if word gets out about
how you people"" nickel and dime the ever-living-shit out of the students it can
only hurt you overall... listen I know you probably hear this complaint a lotand i know its an obvious one too- BUT SERIOUSLY ITS OVERKILL- back the fines
down a bit or tell security to give out more warnings b4 fines... and if you
have to fine a student- tell the staff to be nice about it we're not
criminals... other than that the whole experiential learning component- im gonna
give it to you straight
so don't just chuck this out b/c of my attitude
problem Experiential learning- is bulllllshit nobody does it for real no one
likes it- and i honestly think its an argument of words- don't call it that if
you want that stuff in the curriculum- THEN JUST PUT IT NI THE SYLLABUS- by
giving it the heading ""experiential component"" it may sound nice to a bunch of
elitist suit administrators but to students it sounds like extra work for no
credit... thats honesty for you- and i know for a fact it's shared by a
majority... also you seem to spend tons of money on business buildings and new
dorms- BUT the music department has terrible equipment and the whole scene is
just managed poorly.... i know it sounds like im ranting- but beyond all this
negative I really loved Ramapo... my brother went here and now im graduating
as well- and I had a great time and overall it wasn't so bad- the people made
it better- these are just some suggestions"""
5376 I wish I could say that Ramapo College provided networking and
skills that I will need to succeed in the 'real world.' However I felt as
though I learned more at the Community College that I transfered from. This
whole experience would seem like a waste of time if it were not for the fact
that I will have a Bachelor's degree.
5377 The living situations were the only positive experience I had at
Ramapo. I really liked living on campus. Other than that the administration
really seemed to not care for their students especially transfer students and it
is a shame.
5451 Ramapo College has provided me with several opportunities to grow as
a student and as a person. For that and the supportive faculty I am most
gracious. However many of my fellow classmates chose not to participate or
excel and just coasted by. I feel that students learn from each other's
experiences and contributions and many of the classes I have taken lacked this
component. This is not the same at all schools. Ramapo is unique because there
are numerous opportunities for students to show their talent yet most do not.
I personally feel that Ramapo is held back by having students like this because
it truly is an excellent institution. Perhaps this is the result of my own
chosen course of study but ambition should be present in every student.
Regardless of this specific issue my time at Ramapo will always be cherished
and looked back upon with pride. I have found my potential at Ramapo and I am
confident that the foundation the school has provided me will one day
effortlessly bear the weight of something special.
With utmost sincerity and
gratitude I leave Ramapo looking for my next challenge.
Thank You.

5505 Ramapo College is in a wonderful location because of its rural
setting that is so close to New York City. This affords students countless
internship and career opportunities. However no one ever really pushed me to
obtain an internship and I am now pursuing internships along with looking for
jobs. This is a very difficult task and I know that if I had completed an
internship when still an undergraduate I would be more prepared and better
equipped for careers that I am pursuing and I would be more marketable. In short
I encourage every Ramapo student to obtain at least one internship in a related
field during their years as an undergraduate.
5675 The alcohol policies and judicial procedures at the school are a
major turn off for a lot of incoming students. Many students who don't party
all the time are even turned off by these policies because they don't want to
get in trouble on the one or two occasions that they party.
5698 I really think the college needs to take autonomy away from the
professors as well as the majors already here. If a professor does not like a
student then the professor has the autonomy to do anything to that student
grade-wise without any penalty. Taking the case to the dean is like screaming at
the rain. There is no point. The deans I have spoken to have done nothing. What
needs to occur is less autonomy as well as more professors. Since the majors are
so small especially concentrations in Communication Arts a student can have a
professor twice for required courses. If a professor does not like the student
the course can become a battle boarding on harrassment.
What Ramapo teaches
by allowing is that there are a few more ignorant people in the world not any
life lessons.
And this is coming from a student graduating with honors.
5705 During my time here at Ramapo a dizzying amount has changed. While
this has created opportunity it has shown tons of flaws in the way things are
done. Ramapo bills itself as a friendly and helpful school yet my interactions
with staff were mostly negitative. Resident Life staff has been the worst
offender in this. With new rules coming up every year no one ever seemed to be
on the same page. Uneven exceptions were made about alot of things policies
seemed confusing and unsure. I had an issue about my wet housing once and
residence life said one thing security assumed something else and Corey
Rosenkrantz said something else. It seems there is no communication to
distribute policies among staff and details of things like the alcohol policy
seem to change every semester. A more caring better informed support staff
would have gone a long way to make my stay at ramapo a more positive one.
I
don't think staff realize the severe negitative attitudes many students have
toward the administration. They love the school and stay here for a variety of
reasons but hate the way business is conducted. I had a class once try and put
their finger on what unites people at Ramapo if they were to be targeted in an
advertising campaign; the class full of RA's transfer students and honors
students could only come up with one uniting force of the student body: hatred
of the Ramapo Administration.
I do not plan on donating any money to the
school and I have urged others to do the same. Mismanagement and blundering
seem to rule the campus offices though there are plenty of people who have a
genuine passion to help students. My time here has been wonderful but soured by
my experiences trying to work out problems with professional staff members.
5739 "The reason I had not completed this survey earlier was because I
did not like that it was multiple choice. There are many questions that I would
have liked to explain my answers to; such as questions about my major. For
instance the music department is weak focusing on limited topics and not
setting solid foundations in theory and history. However I have learned more
Ramapo College of New Jersey
Appendix page B-8
Office of Institutional Research and Planning
from Dr. Lutter then I think I would at any other campus. Also I would
recommend Ramapo to incoming students but I would first discuss their
wants/needs. If a possible student approached me and wanted to study piano or
violin performance I'd tell him that Ramapo is not for him. Although we have a
performance concentration it is not instrumental. It is quickly becoming a
great place for vocalists but not instrumentalists. I would however recommend
Ramapo to singers.
Had the survey been short answer style it would be more
truthful. Unfortunately I had to choose answers that were close enough"" to my
experience and opinions."""
5767 In the four years I have been here the Village has become a ghost
town. The social atmosphere at Ramapo leaves much to be desired. If I did not
join Greek life I would have probably transfered. Aside from that Berrie Center
and the professors there have been great. It's been fun. Peace.

5794 Maybe for next year's class survey you can put some open-ended
questions in there. Not all the questions that were asked can be answered by a
simple Agree or Disagree.
5801 I loved my experience at Ramapo College. I grew up so much in the
past four years and really came into my own. Although there are things that I
feel Ramapo College should be a little more lenient with: Ramapo Security is
ridiculous and should relax with the violations for 21 year olds having gettogethers that don't bother their neighbors. I understand the fear of alcohol
poisoning and fights but this is a college and Ramapo Security treats us as 21
year olds more like underage children when they should be happy if we're
enjoying alcoholic beverages on campus and not out drinking and driving. Also
Ramapo Security and Mahwah PD should not be allowed to give multiple tickets to
people pulled over for failing to stop at stop signs. I have never actually been
fined for any of the above but my friends have and I believe Ramapo Security is
the biggest problem with this college. There are far bigger issues to worry
about than a little underage drinking or the occasional failre to fully stop.
Overall my experience at Ramapo College has been wonderful and I will cherish
the memories I've made here for the rest of my life.
5877
I wish there was a Musical Theater Major available to students.
5884 ramapo could be a really cool place to go to college but everyone
goes home on the weekends and those to stay are usually the type that likes to
party. when you stay and party on the weekends the chance of campus security
ruining your fun is pretty high. i know its not right to let kids run wild and
drink heavily but if security would back off and let us have some fun i think
more kids would want to stay on the weekends and this would make it a more
solid school to attend. lame SGA activities though do attract crowds sometimes
dont really keep people around.
5887 I was rather disappointed in the education here. In most of my
courses for my major I knew the information before coming in. I have spoken with
other students who took the same class at other schools and their learning
experience was of much more quality then mine.
8072 For my Major I had to many adjunct professors and felt the program
needed to be revised and modernize with more courses that should be readily
available. Such as work with green screen. From what I seen with other students
other courses majors at Ramapo are fine just not the one I graduated with.

1017 I believe the Law and Society program at Ramapo far exceeds many
basic criminal justice degree programs offered elsewhere. I hope Ramapo will
begin to offer post-graduate programs in the field of criminal justice or law.
The College has provided many who choose to go into law enforcement with a
better view of multiculturalism ethics and integrity while improving their
critical thinking and reasoning abilities. The days of careers in law
enforcement simply requiring a high school diploma are over the aforementioned
skills listed model todayÆs modern and professional law enforcement personnel.
1026 An extensive job search has left me to believe that I needed to
acquire a lot more credits in science curses in order to qualify for the
positions I whished to apply for. I will have to settle for a lesser position
until I take additional courses with additional expense in order to achieve my
goal. I was not very happy with my discovery after the fact.
1072 I have attended several other Colleges. I found Ramapo to have a
very nice and convenient location. The school is well kept and when I stayed on
campus I found that it was a good and clean experience. This was in part because
most of my roommates were neat and clean but the college deserves some credit
for building the new nice apartments and housing.
Some of the professors and
some of the administration at the school were outstanding. However there was a
few that were the worst experience sitting in a classroom that I have ever had
or care to have again. Some were outright rude and disrespectful. I know for a
fact that there were student complaints of these individuals and something
should be done regarding this. When things are a legitimate problem for a
student the student should feel that when they seek help in a particular matter
that they can count on someone to help. They are paying the tuition after all.
I did not feel that this school provided the assistance and service to it's
students that are required to succesfully run a school of higher education.
Management should take this into account because literally 90% of the many many
people I have discussed these matters with say they would never recommend this
school or go back for this particular reason.
This survey is not specific
enough to ask a student of their real experiences or opinions of the school.
However it is nice to see that someone cares how the amuni feel after they
graduate. Thank you for that.
1110 SSHS needs to create or enhance class's to meet the needs of
students who are looking to pursue jobs in criminal justice. Lawyers like Marta
Vides Jillian Weiss and Mark Howenstein are ok for certain class's with senior
thesis computer and religion. Class's need to target the needs of students in
criminal justice.
1256 Going to school at Ramapo for Social Work is the smartest thing I
have done with my life so far. It is an excellent school with an excellent
Social Work program. Some of the professors are incredible people and have made
a huge impact on my life. Not only is it a great school but for those students
who live on campus as I did it is also a great place to call home. I will
miss Ramapo dearly.
1259 My only suggestion would be a little more preparation for life after
graduation. There should be a required course for seniors focusing on resume
writing interviewing skills or applying to graduate school. I feel it would be
beneficial for every student if they were really SHOWN what to expect rather

than being left to fend for themselves. I had a wonderful experience with my
major and my professors at Ramapo.
5030 Ramapo College is an exceptional institution for higher education
especially the psychology program! I learned a lot and have no regrets about
coming here! :5140
Ramapo has been wonderful and the professors are amazing.
5185 Make the substance abuse minor meet the state requirements for a
CADC certifictaion.
5259 Ramapo is a truly comforting and very free environment for one to
learn and grow in. Given the opportunity to repeat my college years I would not
do anywhere else but here.
5368 Exactly what avenue of Social Work I will pursue is yet to be
determined however I expect that by the end of my Graduate degree I will have
a firm grasp of what I want to do.
5430 There needs to be more food options. After my 2nd year I was tired
of the food. Should add diferent types of food and keep it changing each week.

1222 Ramapo may have an outstanding Academic Faculty. Unfortunately I
found that the administration in all departments Bursar Financial Aid Health
and Counseling etc. were extremely unprofessional and uncooperative. It is a
shame that a college with such outstanding professors is allowing such an
unqualified group of adminitstration to represent them. I will never recommend
anyone to Ramapo College of New Jersey.

5075 I loved my Ramapo experience and I feel that I have learned a great

work full time.

1104 the biochemistry curriculum should be review. it should be taught
right from 200L and not senior level as currently being done. This will enable
the instructor/professor to cover more areas of study and get student ready for
the graduate school.As of now only little aspect of biochemistry is cover at
RCNJ. Instructors should continue to encourage student to register for
independent study/research so that knowledge acquire can be put into practise.
thanks.
5106 "With current energy and global warming issues becoming such an
important area of concern I believe all students should be required to taking
the Energy and Society class the way it was taught during this Spring 2008
semester. I understand that it has had a more technical approach in the past
but this year it was more on a social impact level which I think is what our
graduating students need to be exposed to before graduating... since being
green"" will be such a central part of our lives in the coming decades."""
5175
Kathy Burke is a terrible advisor.
5187 It would be extremely helpful if the college gave a reading period
a few days with no classes held between the end of classes and the beginning of
final exams!
5219 Make the internet work better in dorms and at times there has been
limited access to the library databases. Give Chuck Stead an office. He carries
alot of stuff back and forth and at least then he'll have a place to keep his
stuff and students can find him easier during the day.
5294 Over my four years at Ramapo I've met some very nice people and
some excellent professors. I've also met some mediocre professors who should
stay out of teaching and some administrators who can't resist the urge to mess
with the good academic programs before or in spite of listening to the students
and faculty. The large number of gen-eds when I first joined was a nuisance and
CEP was also a big nuisance. Registration was always a chore especially for
students with atypical/advanced standing and even more so when the
administration brought in a new expensive computer system that was a much
bigger headache than the old. However despite all this I must say I've had
more and more unique opportunities at this college than would likely have been
possible elsewhere. Ramapo is to be commended on that.
5343 I am an online student in the RN-BSN nursing program. I only
attended 3 classes on campus at Ramapo. The majority of my work was done
online. During my limited time on campus I enjoyed the college staff and
facilities very much. Thank you.
5395 Go Ramapo! I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and will definitely
miss the camaraderie and academic environment as I go on.
5401 The nursing program needs improvement with regard to the quality of
teaching with some of the instructors. Students are not given opportunity to
make decisions at all and students are treated as if they are children and not
adults. Sequencing of courses needs to be looked at so that students actually
are learning in clinical.
5410 Thank you Ramapo College and especially Kathy Burke and the entire
nursing school staff for making my graduation possible. I will recommend your
program as much as I can to others and thank you for your acceptance and for
challenging me since 2002! Thanks!

5528 My overall experience at Ramapo College was very good. As a nursing
student that attended clinical at Englewood Hospital I do feel however that
there are some technologies that the school needs to help them improve with to
make the program even better. The teachers at Englewood Hospital were phenominal
and extremely approachable. My experience as a nursing student was very
rewarding and I have learned a great deal of knowledge that will help me with my
career.
5544 I LOVE RAMAPO! I recommend it to anyone considering the college.
More conservative professors for Social Issues would be excellent however.
More flexibility with the nursing program would be great as well such as better
chances at having a minor and encouraging us to take other classes to be wellrounded.
The opportunities I've had in attending events learning from
others holding leadership positions and achieving academically are invaluable
- THANK YOU!
5622 Students would probably be better off if they were treated
respectfully and like adults and not like criminals.
5624 Problem in nursing program with being required to attend extra class
time that was not part of our schedule. Throughout the two years in the actual
nursing program.
5646
Ramapo was a good experience. I will recommend it to every one.
5667 I got my job directly from my clinical experiences through the
Ramapo College BSN program. I will be working at the Valley Hospital.
