    Considering that it is a state school and on the cheaper side, I'd say the cost of admission has been worth it. I'm enjoying my classes, and the faculty is incredibly kind and helpful. I was worried about the social aspect of college life, but even that's going well!

    Overall, I think WPU is great for the money. It's one of the lowest priced universities in NJ, and the campus is nice.

    Very expensive to be a state school, but it is still cheaper than many other schools.
