I've enjoyed my experience at Seton Hall so far. Most of my professors have been very knowledgeable and helpful. Whenever I reach out to someone via email I'm usually responded to in a timely manner with a solution to my problem. The school does a lot to make the campus fun, there's always some activity going on year round.

My son wanted to transfer after his Freshman year because it was too easy and he wa...

My 3 children went to 3 different high schools. SHP was the best among them. They know how to teach boys and they know how to discipline them. I was never so happy with a school as I am with SHP. Bravo SHP!
