One of my favorite schools of all time. Essex County College West Essex Campus, was top of the line in education. Excellent faculty, amazing staff, and a great place to meet friends. Very social. However, at times it was too easy. Some of the teachers gave very little homework. However, I was more than prepared for the next level of life.

Nothing is good about this school. I am a student here now and they don't help you with classes. i took the placement test and passed and they told me i failed and put me in an 085 math class... and didn't tell me I passed the test till the class had a month left, so i missed transferable credits and basically had my money stolen from me. Thanks
