Wagner College

I have love for Wagner and am grateful for the professors and training — it’s a fine program with alumni working professionally. But I want to give clarity for future students: Wagner advertises being #1 in Princeton Review, which is based on student satisfaction surveys, not industry reputation or placement.

In the theatre world, Wagner isn’t typically listed among the “Big 10” programs (CMU, Michigan, CCM, NYU, BoCo, Baldwin Wallace, Syracuse, Northwestern, Elon, Texas State). So while it’s definitely worth applying, go in with clear expectations: you’ll get solid training and support, but it’s not regarded in the same league as those top industry-recognized schools.

Wagner collage it’s really beautiful campus to be if you want to stay in Staten Island I’ve been for a tour today because I’m currently at the cottage of Staten Island and I’m planning to come here since they have a physician assistance program.

THE VIEWS of NYC from the cafeteria and dorms!!!!!! Stunning!!! We were excited to see the small liberal arts school just a ferry ride away from NYC! love the small feel of this college and the opportunity for close relationships with professors and students. I am so excited about the idea of watching sunrise and weather changes as I eat meals every day--- of having that daily view of the city skyline.

however. tuition is steep ($52K per year is what we were quoted by our admissions officer) and buildings are in less than pristine condition. everything felt kinda icky, slightly dirty and a little bit musty. the showers, sinks, and toilets in the dorms were old and kinda yuk. I can't imagine feeling incredibly clean or refreshed. The view from the window was incredible and breathtaking, but the dorm room and bathrooms on the other side of that view.... old and dismal.

not worth the tuition price in my opinion...buildings need to be better maintained and renovated. Nothing seemed particularly unique about the curriculum or course offerings: it seems fairly standard as far as education goes, and we can get cleaner and better facilities for far less money at Indiana University or Depauw University closer to home.

next in our college tours we are going to Europe where tuition is free and housing is even less expensive, culture is more international and education is more global. We will tour some universities in Germany, Italy and France and see how they compare. But who knows? maybe Wagner will seem incredible after we go to the oldest university in Italy? I'll keep you posted...

Graduated in 67, nothing but fond memories. Been back every 5 yrs or so, miss the view of the harbor, sports are great(win or lose). Most majors are top notch! Students are very talented and friendly!

The entrance gate is different from the employees gate. It is such an amazing place just to go and sit outside the campus. I really enjoyed the community and the view with birds singing on tree. Oh by the way, i only delivered there and never studied there , but with such a beautiful place i bet that students are enjoying being in such a perfect campus!!!!
