I'm Tom Maggio, and I'm currently the Associate Director of Public Affairs at the American Association of Colleges of pharmacy.
Fairley Dickinson was always on my radar as I was looking at schools as my dad went there for his undergraduate and graduate studies coming out of high school, I wasn't interested in attending a massive state school or a tiny private school. FDU is full on campus.
Was the best of both worlds, because it's decently sized, but not overwhelming. Here's some advice, if you haven't visited campus yet, do that having spent time on both campuses, each have their own unique feel.
For me, the floor on campus was a game changer, and I'm happy to have called at my home for four years.
Also, you don't need to have your life planned out before attending FDU.
As someone who switched majors, FDU made that process as seamless as possible, and I was still able to graduate on time.
Did FDU live up to my expectations?
Absolutely, from making close friends and relationships to be a part of clubs in Greek life to spending late nights in the library and even later nights in Morristown, I feel like I was able to get the full college experience at FDU.
At FDU, I seized the moment and it changed my world.
