    As a Freshman from out of state, I was fairly worried about attending a school in which I knew no one. To ease the worry Freshman undergo, Seton Hall set up a Pirate Weekend. During Pirate Weekend in late June, enrolled Freshmen can tour the campus with more detail, spend a night in the dorms, and (best of all) get to meet their new classmates. Although there were a lot of new people to get acquainted with, I met two wonderful girls during that time who remain my closest friends on campus today!

    Student life is what you make it. If you join Organizations on campus you will have a great time. We have 14 NCAA Division I Varisity, and our Baseball team just won THE BIG EAST CONFERENCE. So the school is going to be pretty crazy when we get back to Fall 2011. We have 100+ Organizations on campus. There is a huge variety so TRUST ME when i tell you, you will find the prefect organization for you. We also have 27 Greek Societies, which is what makes the school amazing.

    Campus is fairly tiny, and if you don't go out a ton, it can get sort of boring. There's fair amount of greek life and a lot of athletes, but besides that you really need to work at it to be amused.
