<p>I visited yesterday and am impressed with the small, community campus. Does anyone else: know anything about this school, attend here, or are applying? Thanks for your help:)</p>
<p>My son graduated from Rider last year. He liked the campus a lot, it’s small and friendly. Business and Education seem to be the strongest departments.</p>
<p>thanks for your input!</p>
<p>I know you posted on this thread over a month ago, but I just wanted to give you some input.</p>
<p>I’m an overnight volunteer for Special Olympics, and last year my group was stationed in Rider University dorms … and quite frankly, they really stunk. Cinder block, dirty floors … and the bathrooms were horrible … it was hell getting all the girls to wash at the same time. </p>
<p>I did, however, see that sense of community … on the cinder blocks outside some of the rooms, certain blocks were designed by a person … it had their name, class, a drawing, etc … it was cute. But still, not enough to overlook the conditions of the dorms.</p>
<p>Anyway, Rider University is fine itself … but I’d avoid the dorms. And maybe it was just the one dorm we stayed in. :)</p>
<p>Thanks for your input! I am going to plan an overnight there, and I think they are doing some construction for new dorms so that would be awesome :D. I think the campus is really nice though, and nice ppl there 2.</p>
<p>If they’re making new dorms then that’s definitely a plus!</p>
<p>My friend really likes Rider U … she was accepted about a month ago … I think it’s a toss up for her between Rider U - Rowan U - and College of NJ … </p>
<p>Hope everything works out!</p>
<p>Hey thanks for your help! I live about 10 minutes from Rowan, I also got accepted there. Which schools are you looking at philosophia?</p>
<p>I applied to (it’s easier to list):</p>
<p>Brown University - ED deferred 
Bowdoin College - (woot! just had my interview today!)
Brandeis University
Northwestern University
University of Vermont - accepted</p>
<p>I … uh… don’t want to stay in NJ. lol … I REALLY need to get away from the people at my school and everyone mostly stays in NJ for college, so I’m leaving … :)</p>
<p>It’s cool that you live 10 minutes away from Rowan, my friend liked it too … she said there was a community sense and that everyone was really friendly. Where else did you apply michelec?</p>
<p>I applied to:</p>
<p>Rosemont College- Accepted
Immaculata University- Accepted
Cabrini College- Accepted
Rider University- Accepted
Rowan University- Accepted
Ursinus College- waiting…
Villanova University- waiting…</p>
<p>Yea I’ll find out from the other 2 in April…</p>
<p>It’s awesome you found out where you got accepted to already (well, besides the other two) … I’ve got to wait … and wait … and wait … at least I didn’t apply to Yale (like I could ever see myself at Yale, but we’ll just go with it) b/c their decision day is April 10 … 10 days later than Brown! It would kill me!</p>
<p>I was going to apply to Ursinus, but their dorms are the pits . . .lol … makes Rider look like a palace. ha! lol, good school though … just have to work on the living conditions. ;)</p>
<p>good luck wherever you choose to go. :)</p>
<p>Hey philosophia! Thanks for all your help, I liked Urisinus because they have a really nice dorm for upperclassmen, so ill just have to tough it out for a few yrs. ttyl! :)</p>
