What I HATE About Montclair | Montclair State University CONS

[@FrozenVodka1]

I went to MSU, I agree with alot of what you said. I regret studying Sociology there I didn't learn jack. Everyone was mad stuck up too on campus, I never met anyone. And yes, my mental health went loco.

[@theealiennreview6912]

omg I' m literally going there majoring in that

[@jiyajoey9728]

Hey! just wanted to say I found your videos sooo useful, like I am so thankful I came across them, just wondering if you know anyone who as taken a product design major, because the whole bad education part is making me really nervous :(

[@annapratt5399]

I would definitely love to hear more about commuting/parking! I’m planning on commuting to Montclair next fall and that’s probably the one thing I’m most nervous about lol

[@aceyukionna1802]

My boyfriend commuted to Montclair and he lives about an hour away. Long story short he's now a resident student. Not to freak you out or anything, but just be prepared for anything and everything.

Hi! I am currently a graduate student at montclair state ive been here for 5 years I know everything about this university, Ive dormed and commuted, ive done it all. The parking really isnt that bad, I park in lot 60 and take a 5 minute shuttle ride to the center of the university and I never have to worry about not finding a parking spot. The probem is everyone wants to park in the same parking deck so it fills up quick, instead of waiting 10 minutes driving up and down car-parc, just park off campus and take a shuttle, I usually park in car parc on less busy days, it is totally managable just give yourself time to park and get to class. Let me know if you have any more questions!

@@nickparente4613 hi! what ab commuting to montclair? i would be driving about an hour. would it be more worth it to take a train instead of driving

@@janaa527 Depends on where you live, if you're near the Montclair-Boonton Line then it should be good. Just remember there's only trains on the weekdays.

[@aceyukionna1802]

I'm isolated at Montclair for COVID rn and I wish I had chosen to go home. There is no clear communication, so it's a hassle just to get food or basic necessities. The room is scary and they do next to nothing to make the situation more welcoming. The only plus is that the RAs at the front desk are super nice and understanding.

[@marinasaburova]

I was in isolation too! (Last spring) it was awful, they really don’t care about you 😞

[@Wiiniihvlog]

Thank you for this video. I just discovered your channel and I love it 😍

[@abhinendra814]

As a international students should I consider to join Montclair because as you said not feel like home and students that much interacting with new people

[@marinasaburova]

I’m not sure… it depends on how you put yourself out there. You really have to “find your own fun”

[@JJ__375]

Montclair is my top school rn and ur making me nervous! 😭 but i was wondering if you know about bohn hall and if there are jobs i can get on campus?

[@marinasaburova]

Oh noo don’t be scared! Have you watched the pros video? It’s not all bad. Depending on what you want from a school it could be good for you! I haven’t lived in bohn hall but I’ve visited it once or twice. It’s a freshman only dorm and has communal bathrooms and there’s no AC. There are a lot of jobs on campus but i would suggest to apply early (like right now! For the fall) you can work at the rec center, as an SA, at the IT help desk..

[@aceyukionna1802]

I live at Bohn Hall. Everyone makes it seem like the worst since it's a "freshman dorm" but it's really what you make it. It's a bit loud at night and the communal bathrooms are...a situation. But otherwise the dorms are pretty okay and the RAs are super chill. Just be ready to fight for the laundry room. There are a lot of on campus job opportunities, but be sure to check them out early because positions fill up quickly. Check out the library first, they pay pretty well and always have spots available.

[@ForeverInColor]

The food there is also pretty bad!

[@aceyukionna1802]

Yeah, I still can't forget the raw chicken incident *shudder*

[@grinofrancheska]

I'm planning to transfer as an international student next fall, is majoring in journalism fine there? 😊

[@KMCL09]

My friend Thomas wants to go to MSU. I showed him your video and he still wants to go here

[@marinasaburova]

Cool! Everyone has different things they are looking for in a college

[@aymen-pc3fh]

I heard It's really easy to get In MSU, I heard with even a low GPA they still will accept you in. Is that true?

[@marinasaburova]

Yes! The acceptance rate is super high

[@FulanaFulanaFulana]

But if you want extra scholarships & aid it comes into play.

[@anyalasagna5713]

so helpful!! now im scared to start LOL i move in the 23rd ;( whered u dorm as a freshman? im dorming at machuga heights and so nervous about vegan food in the caf lmao. omg sorry so many questions but whats ur major!!!!

[@marinasaburova]

Oh nooo, don’t be scared! There are lots of pros too, i talk about it in another video! I dormed at Blanton. There are pretty good vegan options at the cafeteria (better than their regular stuff anyway), although I always think places can use more vegan options. Downtown Montclair has very good vegan options if you ever want to go out to eat (or Doordash it). And I’m a computer science major

[@drewsabo1969]

The parking 🙄

[@marinasaburova]

Yeahhhhh 😬

[@aceyukionna1802]

My boyfriend had to pay $200 for a parking permit 😬

[@DangerOctoYT]

I’m planning to go to this college in a couple years for TV production and stuff, hearing both the pros and cons, would I have to deal with these hypocritical Covid rules like you, or will it die down in two years? I want at least a good experience out of this college so I’m asking you as a noob.

[@marinasaburova]

Hmm I think it’ll probably die down. You have some time to think!

[@DangerOctoYT]

@@marinasaburova Alright, I hope things go well.

[@marinasaburova]

Who wants a PART 2? And what should I include in it? PS: watch what I LOVE about Montclair here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b162YYWvpt6Sas0 and if you're interested about hearing a bit more about EDUCATION at MSU watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKnbhYWFeqqqq7s

[@nnjhomerepair6399]

It is a NNJ commuter school. Of course it is rude. Reason why my kids went south to college. MSU = Yuck!

[@SabrinaRosa02]

I honestly was gonna go this was my top choice but I had awful experiences with the advising lol

[@marinasaburova]

Awww I’m sorry to hear, hopefully you find the perfect school!
