FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: June 26, 2016
UNION, N.J. –– For the second consecutive year, Kean University is ranked #1 Best Dorms among all public universities in New Jersey according to Niche.com. For the 2015-2016 academic year, Niche.com ranked 1,356 public and private, traditional four-year colleges and universities across the United States to determine which ones had the best college dorms. Kean University also came in second overall in New Jersey behind nationally ranked Princeton University.
According to Niche.com, the 2016 Best College Dorms ranking is based on key statistics and more than 163,383 student reviews. Niche.com grades all of the colleges and universities on four conditions including; average housing cost, housing capacity, student housing crime rate, and student surveys on campus housing. Kean University and other top-ranked colleges offer outstanding on-campus housing that is safe and clean with modern amenities at reasonable prices.
“Kean’s Office of Residential Student Services is committed to providing a safe and well-maintained living and learning environment that enables our students to maximize their academic and personal goals within a multicultural, globally oriented campus community,” said Maximina Rivera, director of residence life at Kean University. “Our dorms provide a living-learning environment where student success is linked to community engagement, personal development, outstanding facilities and leadership opportunities.”
Recent Kean University graduate Deanna Verringia '16, has embarked on a career in fashion as the celebrity, charity and culture communications assistant for luxury jeweler David Yurman. Verringia, a New Hampshire native, chose Kean in part because of the University’s proximity to New York, and was impressed with her campus housing experience.
"Living on campus was very convenient during my four years at Kean University," said Verringia. "The dorms are close to all the classroom buildings. Even the farthest buildings are easy to get to because of the trolley. The dorms and the campus are gorgeous and are a great place to call home.”
