Reflections NJIT has a high level of communication and interaction among a diverse student population. Fraternities/Sororities are highly satisfied. Campus community needs more educational, athletic, and cultural activities. Food service has improved but some issues remain. Academic advising is good, but needs more focus on progress toward graduation and career planning.
