UCNJ Union College of Union County, NJ | Elizabeth Campus — Local services in Elizabeth

As a student, I believe the staff here should be more helpful. I want to address an incident that occurred on August 11,2025 between 1:00 PM and 3:30 PM. After submitting my financial aid documents, I encountered a problem with my car not starting. One of the security personnel was incredibly helpful and provided assistance. However, after my car initially started and then stalled again, I attempted to contact the security person for further help with his jump box.

As I approached the back door, intending to see if I could locate the security person, an older gentleman with a cream shirt, who I believe is a staff member, He got in the building and closed the door in my face and refuses to help me. He had been outside the building for several hours and witnessed my struggle with the car. While I understand that the back door may not be a public entrance, given that he observed my situation and offered no assistance or attempt to contact the security , I found his action to be inconsiderate. I hope that such incidents are addressed to ensure a more supportive environment for students. In the future, I will take any similar occurrences...

The point is we expected to have a different answer. We expected to get help. What’s the point to work there if you don’t want to support people to study. But people over there prefe you not to study instead wasting or investing the time helping young people with kids.

She discriminated against us and also...

Michael made my experience at Ucc Elizabeth very bad. I am handicapped and he treated me as if i mattered less than the others there. Very good way to treat the students smh. His negative attitude made me unsure if this school is the right fit for me. Going to student services is supposed to make me excited to go back to school. Instead he treated me like I’m supposed to know what I’m doing. Obviously i don’t, or i wouldn’t be looking for advisement. Very bad job. I know this is a community college but i expected better treatment for...
