Wagner College a small school that is “the type of place where one makes long-lasting connections.” That “close-knit community” is described as “very dedicated and newcomers are always made to feel welcome.” Wagner students are “diverse and unique” and because they “come from all different areas and study all different areas,” this creates an “amazing opportunity [for] meeting people.” And whether you’re one of the fair number of commuters or not, all “take advantage of the many outdoor spaces to either study or socialize.” A student sings the praises of their “creative, helpful, smart” peers: “Imagine walking into a room and everybody is capable of some kind of insane artistic capability.” Many feel that “there are so many events weekly to bring the community together,” and cherish that “from student organizations to departmental events each student brings a unique and vibrant element to the table.”

At Wagner, “everyone has a willingness to participate at school activities and events,” and the school accordingly “encourages students to go out of their way to apply what they have learned during lecture to [their] extracurricular activities.” The Center for Intercultural Advancement and International Cultural Advancement offices are said to be doing a “great job” in engaging students, and there are plenty of organizations to join. Several students say that “the theatre department here is by far one of the best, sweetest, and strongest bodies,” hosting “a variety of...parties that are open to all.” The library “is a haven for students looking for some peace when studying, and with nice weather, most students sit on the great lawn and have picnics.” Nearby Manhattan is also “really easy to get to because of the free Wagner shuttle” to and from the free ferry to the city. That said, students note there isn’t always a need to do so, as they have the best possible problem: they “are heavily involved in extracurricular activities, so schedules are often pretty full.”
