Every college and university offers a fundamentally similar four years of education. By the end of their four years, students will feel a sense of independence and responsibility. They will be living on their own and making important decisions firsthand because this newfound independence is a basic part of the American college experience.
Despite this sameness of campus traits, many things set Seton Hall apart from the other 7000 colleges and universities in the country.
