Seton Hall School of Basketball
Seton Hall is a basketball school, plain and simple. The men’s team is extremely popular and plays their games at the Prudential Center in Newark. Attendance at these games depends on who the team is playing. The diehard fans attend every game from beginning to end. Most people only attend the Big East games which are always close. The Seton Hall men’s team manages to come up with one or two upsets a year. Students who attend these games can expect a close hard fought game. Every home game in the 2010-2011 season was close and the students in the stands can expect these games to be very exciting. The student section is court side behind the away team’s bench. To boost attendance the school refunds student season ticket holders who attend all 15 home games. However only expect to get your money back if you live close enough to attend games over winter break, 4 to 5 games take place over this break. When school is in session students can get on a bus at the athletic center to the Prudential Center and a bus will return these students to campus at the conclusion of the game. The women’s team receives little support by the students because their games are at the same time as the men’s games. Other Seton Hall Varsity sports receive minimal student support. For non-athletes the athletic center has 8 basket ball courts, an indoor track, a pool for laps, a weight room, a room with treadmills and exercise equipment, and a room for yoga and other activities. The school also offers many intramural sports. Basketball is the best of these intramurals. In the end if you decide on Seton Hall you can expect a highly spirited school that loves its basketball, if you’re a football fan go somewhere else.

Seton Hall Campus Crime at a Minimum
The Seton Hall Campus is very safe. Most people think that becauser Seton Hall is so close to Newark that the campus is unsafe. This is an untrue statement. Outside of campus there are safe and unsafe areas. However inside the gates of Seton Hall students can roam the campus freely at any time. The Seton Hall security AKA Securitas patrols the campus at all times.The dorms are very secure and there are people at the front desk of att the buildings makings sure that only residents and there guests enter the buildings. In the end, students have nothing to fear on campus.

Finding the Spots
There is no shortage of parties at Seton Hall. The fraternities are always having parties and advertise them on campus. Fraternities will have parties in their basements and collect money from guys at the door (girls are always free). Cups are normally handed out and then people head for the kegs. Most houses have bars in their basements and they serve shots there for $1. These parties go Thursday through Saturday so try not to have classes on Fridays. Finding drugs, mostly marijuana, depends on what fraternity you go to. Some fraternities are known for it others keep it under wraps. However many students can be found smoking weed on campus in a few locations. If fraternities aren't for you and you still want to drink, the sports houses have some parties. Also, there are those people who drink in the dorms. This can be dangerous but if you have an understanding RA you will be fine. Finally, students returning from parties that are extremely intoxicated, or can't stand or speak, will be sent to the hospital. This hospital visit will be followed by a meeting with the Dean of Discipline. However these hospital visits are very rare because most students drink responsibly. Students caught with drugs in the room will be expelled, but alcohol is just a meeting with the Dean. In the end, students who use common sense will be fine at Seton Hall.
