Wagner College, Staten Island | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

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…

I immediately felt so welcome when I first stepped onto this campus. The views of NYC are incredible, and so are the people! Everyone was so incredibly kind, helpful, and welcoming here! The fact that anyone can double major as a theatre major here is so amazing too! This is one of the only schools that I know of that will let you do so! Definitely consider Wagner if you haven’t already!

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!!!!
