Rider University’s student body “is very small, yet welcoming.†Many undergrads say it’s “so easy to make connections with people,†noting that everyone is “friendly and willing to help you with anything...academic or personal.†That doesn’t mean the school is without cliques that “tend to stick together as they share most of their classes,†but it’s not seen as a negative. Rider is also seen as a haven for “many different people here who didn’t know if they would be able to go to college,†and it shows—individuals work to make the most of this opportunity. “I haven’t met one person at this school who hasn’t been hardworking or determined with a set of goals in mind.†A classmate adds, “I have had an amazing experience with everyone that I have met here at Rider and am really looking forward to seeing where life takes me.â€
