Stevens is the only North Jersey school that is not having it's graduation at the Prudential Center. I know graduation there a few years ago was a disaster, but having graduation in Holmdel (where there is basically no accessibility via public transport) makes no sense.

For reference, here are the commencement locations and distances for other universities in North Jersey. Didn't count universities with their own stadiums/arenas.

....

There are events on campus in Hoboken the night before, and then everyone is expected to get to Holmdel at 7:30 AM the next day. As an out of state student, planning the logistics of this for my family has me seriously questioning Stevens' administrative competence. I've enjoyed my time here and really like the professors, but will not be giving the administrators any donation money when I graduate lol.

Half the engineers I know are set, the other half didn’t find anything so they’re staying here for AMP.

The only CS grads I know that have something are extremely smart. Everyone else has nothing. I honestly feel terrible for the people graduating with a CS degree right now.

So I committed to Stevens I visited the campus and liked it much better than my other options committed that same day I got very generous aid coming out to around 14k per year (commuter) but everyone is telling me the school is stupid especially for my major (finance) I was also told the people are kinda weird and ill prob not make any friends and I was told the schools graduate employment rate is a lie.

I know this sounds a bit dumb but I really don’t know if I care to use my degree I want to be in real estate in the future but I want a education and a degree to just have and a good college experience so I don’t know if that helps if I should or should not go.

So basically my two questions are is it worth it for my situation and will I make friends or is everyone really weird and Akward as they say.

all advice is appreciated !

Steven’s is my #1 school so I want to make sure I can get in.
I’m a high school junior in nj and have a 95 weighted gpa (my school has it on 100 point system don’t know how to calculate)

I’m in:
Ap calc ab
Ap seminar
APUSH
Al physics 1
Cad 1
English H

Next year:
Ap calc bc
Ap physics c
Aphug
Ap lang
Ap research
Cad 2
Engineering and design

I don’t have the best grades in calculus and physics right now so I’m kind of unsure

I have a 1330 super score sat score but am taking again if that helps

Extracurricular:
NHS, and 3 other various honors societies
Volunteering
Boyscouts
Forensics
Summer pre college program at Steven’s
2 jobs - 1 on weekends 1 over summer
Math club
Lacrosse
Swim
Marching band

I have not a lot of leadership like at all so that’s also a factor of why I’m not sure I’ll get in.

I really love Steven’s but I’m really not sure I can realistically get in without early decision I’m also willing to take out loans as well

I applied to Stevens for Spring 2026 in Oct-Nov 2025 for Enterprise Project Management. I got rejected. Then I decided to shift my focus towards Finance since I had good experience and prior qualifications in the same field.

For Fall 2026 they first rejected me for Fintech & Analysis. Asking me to specifically apply for MS Finance in the rejection letter, and then they rejected me for that program again.

I take it as a sign from God, thank you for your time and consideration Stevens. It has been a ride indeed.

PS - I already received an admit from a well known University (not top tier/Ivy) but now I feel it's certainly a better option than Stevens!

Hey! I’m an incoming student looking for laptop recs for cybersecurity.

I’ve seen the specs suggested on the Stevens website, but I wanted to hear from current students about what actually works well. I currently have a Lenovo Yoga 2-in-1, but I’m thinking about replacing it.

I’d prefer something that’s at least somewhat budget-friendly, but is still able to general coursework.

Any advice or laptop suggestions would be appreciated!

I was recenrly accepted into this program, and was curious what people's experiences with it are like?

Hello everyone

I would be paying 27k (in-state) for UNL Honors College vs 52K at Stevens. Could you guys give me some information about Stevens to make my decision?

Planning on majoring in AI or QF at Stevens vs Business Administration at UNL

Is there Grade inflation/deflation at stevens?

hi guys I was curious about everyone's academic standing. Would you guys consider it normal to get a C or D in a college classes at Stevens? I currently have an accepted intern offer, however i'm not in good standing in a current class and have a possibility of a D/C. Yet it's impossible for me to fail it, but i'm worried my internship will decline the offer once official transcripts are sent :(
For reference my gpa is of 3.3 scale, so i'm not doing the best overall rn...

I hope it's finished by the time I graduate!

I did get a lot of aid my net price being 14k (commuter) is it worth it? I want a high paying finance job when I graduate I also want a good college experience. Thank you guys

Some users on this sub have started compiling lists of other users simply because they don't comment or think the same way. Let's be clear about what this is: it's a fascist practice.

Fascism thrives on identifying, isolating, and targeting those who don't conform to a group's ideology. Creating blacklists of users based on their opinions follows that exact playbook it's a way to intimidate people into silence and signal to others who the "acceptable" voices are.

Reddit is supposed to be a place for open discussion and diverse viewpoints. The moment we start cataloguing people for thought-crime-style offenses like "disagreeing with us," we've abandoned that principle entirely.

These accounts should be banned. Not for having opinions, but for trying to suppress the opinions of others through intimidation and targeting. There's a difference between debating someone and putting them on a list. One is discussion. The other is a threat.

I have a MacBook Pro I got for my birthday and it’s not on the list of devices, is it really that serious that I need to get the thinkpad?
