New Jersey Institute of Technology Reviews
Rating 3.5 out of 5 1,273 reviews
Rating 4 out of 5
NJIT is a great place for anyone interested in engineering and technology. The campus is in Newark, NJ, and being so close to NYC is awesome for internships and jobs. The school is really diverse and inclusive, and the modern facilities and research opportunities are top-notch. I've found the career services super helpful, and the connections with industries are strong. There are some things that could be better, like housing and dining options, and dealing with admin stuff can be a hassle. But overall, if you're into STEM, NJIT offers a solid education and a vibrant, urban campus life.

NJIT has left a great impression on me. I have not started my semester, which I will start in the fall of this year. The community is lively with many activities to do. There is not a single dull moment at NJIT whether you're a writer, artist, musician, athlete, or scientist. As for academics, this college offers an astounding amount of resources from professors' office hours, or a multitude of tutors with no additional cost. They even have a discord server for help. I feel as though I will be able to succeed in NJIT coming in as a freshman.

The academic atmosphere is excellent. They provide everything necessary and omit useless activities that detract students from what they should do.
Professors are just fine. They did what they should have done, and did not have an advance.
