My overall experience at Kean University was extremely positive. Professors and courses are top notch and up to date. I found Kean to be affordable and convenient as a commuting student. I felt extremely well prepared for my career in education thanks to Kean.

A good school for the price point. Campus is nice and there are new building being built all the time. The newest buildings are extremely nice and clean, meanwhile, other buildings like the art building are horrible. There are good food options like Jersey Mike's, Auntie Anne's, Smashburger, and three Starbucks on campus. Right across the street from campus is a Panera, Chipotle, and another Starbucks. This is a mainly commuter school but the dorms I've been in are nice. Kean has their own police force for campus safety and claim their response time is about 90 seconds. There are poles around campus with blue buttons if you ever feel unsafe.

It?s a very beautiful campus. I feel pretty safe here. Like all schools, not all the professors are great, but there are some pretty good ones.

Kean was a descent school. As an alumni, I couldn't have been more happier with my choice. The dorms were good, however there was nothing to do on the weekends and everyone went home. The academics were alright.
