Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Most of the teachers at Seton Hall aren’t like the teachers you would find at many other colleges—they don’t just teach for a living, they live to teach. If you want a passing grade, expect to attend classes and make yourself noticed, as the small class sizes don’t allow for frequent absences. Even the lackluster teachers will notice when you’ve only attended on the test days. As you finish off your beginner 101 courses, you will see that some of the teachers in the more advanced classes are very knowledgeable. But since Seton Hall is a liberal arts school, you will be stuck taking core classes for the first half of your time at college. Most of these involve the scrap teachers or ill-placed adjuncts, so at times the first few semesters can be nothing short of frustrating.

There are a few rigorous classes that are challenging, and classes that you can sleep through, but it all depends on your major and ability to daydream. The difference between Seton Hall and other universities is that the professors at Seton Hall usually know you by your first name, so sleeping during class becomes a personal offense. Probably the biggest issue facing Seton Hall academics is general education requirements. In order to graduate, students must fulfill these requirements, which, coupled with a student’s major requirements can be very difficult to complete in four years. Students who are taking courses simply to fulfill general elective requirements compete for spots with students who are taking the courses for their majors or out of genuine interest. Aside from the elective requirements, students have few complaints about classes and professors at Seton Hall. The system may have its flaws, but the professors and courses offered are above average, to say the least. A Seton Hall diploma will get you noticed anywhere, especially in the tri-state area.

Great Small Classes

All my classes are pretty small and I really find it helpful in the learning process. We also have a writing center to help out students with their essays if their in trouble (that would be me) and that's awesome!

Hard Work

The SLP Program is very challenging and the course work for all the classes can be overwhelming but it is an excellent program. The school provides you with different areas to work in the field so that you have experience in all the spectrums across the field. This also helps with deciding on what spectrum you would like to pursue after graduation.

Professors Are Great

The professors at the university are very helpful and are always willing to go the extra mile to help their students out. Everyone is very kind and understanding. The professors use an excellent approach to teaching the material in the courses and that is by "experience learning." What better way to learn than hands-on?
