Montclair State University offers a strong academic foundation and proximity to New York City.

Tips: Before joining Montclair State University, students should understand the overall atmosphere and structure of campus life. One key thing to know is that Montclair has a large commuter population, meaning many students travel from home rather than staying in residence halls. As a result, the campus tends to be quieter during evenings and weekends, with fewer social events compared to traditional residential universities. Students who are looking for a vibrant, always-active campus life may find this aspect underwhelming unless they actively participate in clubs or student organisations. Montclair State University offers a strong academic foundation and proximity to New York City. A significant number of students do not live on campus, which results in a quieter atmosphere, especially during weekends. For students seeking a vibrant, around-the-clock campus environment, this can feel underwhelming. Additionally, the lack of weekend activities and limited campus engagement opportunities outside of class hours contribute to a relatively inactive social scene. While the university has various clubs, organisations, and cultural events, students often feel that participation and energy levels are not as high as they are at more residential campuses.

Likes (Value for money): Montclair State University is generally considered a good value for money, especially for in-state and budget-conscious international students. The university offers a quality education at a comparatively lower tuition cost than many other U. S. institutions, making it an affordable option for a Master's degree. For students pursuing Computer Science or related technical fields, the curriculum is solid, industry-aligned, and taught by experienced faculty. The university location in New Jersey is another major advantage as it offers access to major tech and business hubs like New York City, which open doors to internships, part-time jobs, and full-time career opportunities after graduation.
