An Inside Look

What students are saying about us...

  • “I transferred from Syracuse because I wanted to be closer to NYC. And even though I was also accepted to NYU, I chose Seton Hall because it felt more caring and like home. It was a great decision—I got to be a Youth Ambassador at the UN, study abroad in Italy, and intern with the World Food Program. The quality of the faculty and the tremendous opportunities I’ve had at Seton Hall have been amazing.”

    • Cara Richardson
      Bridgewater, New Jersey
  • “Going to El Salvador on a mission trip was the culmination of my Seton Hall experience. It allowed me to bring together everything I learned about servant leadership, about giving back and loving my community. It was an opportunity I will never forget.”

    • Kylie Lan Tumiatti
  • “Graduating with a job offer from MTV is a dream come true. I owe it all to the support of Seton Hall’s Career Center and my four internship experiences.”

    • Tiffany Knighten
      Public Relations & Journalism, Los Angeles, California
  • “It was so amazing to sign a full-time job offer by the end of my junior year. It was my dream to join a Big Four accounting firm, and I achieved it thanks to the opportunities and experiences I was exposed to at Seton Hall.”

    • Andrew Aguilera
  • “I transferred to Seton Hall with almost 90 credits, and even though I only spent a year here before completing my degree, I was able to intern for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and Piers Morgan Tonight at CNN. A few weeks before I graduated, I already had a job at CNN.”
