Kean University was established in 1855 and is located in Union, New Jersey. Kean is definitely known for it's enormous amount of diversity, and we would not have it any other way. When I was a junior in high school I began to visit colleges to determine where I would go in the future. Kean was the third campus I visited and I fell in love immediately. Also, it was the only campus I genuinely enjoyed visiting and felt the urge to come back. I believe it is worth looking into the possibility of Kean being the university you attend so here are a few reason's Kean is amazing.
1. Majors/Minors
Kean University has an insane amount of majors and minors that you are able to choose from. From my own experience I found that many colleges do not have unique majors and they really only have broad majors such as english and history. At Kean, they have distinctive majors such as journalism, speech pathology, health information management, optometry and much more.
2. Hang out spot's
Kean has multiple places where you can just kick back and relax after or before a class. The university has a starbuck's that are you are able to grab a quick bite and drink in their lounge area. The library is also an option and the best part is that starbucks is actually located in the library so you would already be there. We have a nice diner-like area called Cougar's Den where you can basically get anything you would typically eat at a regular diner. The game room is available to watch just sit around, watch TV, and play games such as air hockey. The cafeteria is great when you are hungry and want a meal, they have options from Italian all the way to Asian food and the new Smashburger and Auntie Annes that just opened. If you would like to relax outside there are multiple benches and even a garden you can take a break by.
3. The professor's
I have to say, Kean University has some pretty awesome professors. I am only a sophomore at Kean but I can say I had awesome professors for all that time. They are some of the nicest, most understand people and thankfully are not harsh graders. I love the professors!
4. The Diversity
Kean University is known for their diversity. People of all color, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and nationality are accepted. It is a huge violation of what we stand for at this University if someone felt even a little bit judged. The amazing thing about Kean is just being you is acceptable and no one will bat an eye at how different you are.
