New Jersey Institute of Technology Reviews

Rating 5 out of 5
So far, my time at NJIT has been a good one. I majored in architecture my first year, then switched to digital design the second, which I plan to keep until completion in 2027. For both of my first two years I dormed on campus. I really liked doing this. The design fields are taken really serious at NJIT, so being close to our labs and studios helped getting through it a lot easier. Though, I do wish they were a little more transparent with the additional costs of these majors. The costs of supplies are not detailed anywhere when applying for them and dropped at a moment's notice a week before a project. The dorming facilities meet my standards, the food is good enough, and I feel pretty safe on campus despite the harsh name Newark has made for itself. I look forward to going back in the fall.

NJIT as a whole is a very well rounded college experience, while it's situated in Newark a city that doesn't exactly have the best reputation, the campus itself is safe and the city in a greater sense is coming back around for the most part. If you're looking for something bigger than that there are multiple train lines that go to NYC very close by so that is always an option too. Campus life is the only thing that really struggles at NJIT as there aren't the most amount of places to congregate to, due to the school only having one field, although realistically I am unaware as to how they would fix that it is something that I would like to see in the future.

NJIT was an invaluable experience that challenged me academically while facilitating personal growth. The rigorous curriculum and brilliant professors pushed me to sharpen my problem-solving abilities and develop a deep understanding of complex concepts. I recall working alongside classmates on collaborative projects that not only reinforced technical skills but also honed teamwork and communication. Outside the classroom, I immersed myself in student organizations like the Google dev student club, gaining hands-on experience through hackathons and networking events. These extracurriculars exposed me to diverse perspectives and taught me leadership skills that have proven invaluable in my career.
While the dining options and some facilities could use upgrades, NJIT provided a supportive atmosphere for holistic development. The technical expertise, critical thinking abilities, and interpersonal skills I cultivated have laid a solid foundation for success in my professional endeavors.
