“I love Sacred Heart’s residential, family‑style feel, how many clubs and events make it easy to belong, and how close the campus is to both the beach and New York City, but from a past‑student view I’ll say the dining‑hall options can feel repetitive, some housing renovations take longer than promised, and the suburban‑bubble vibe can feel isolated if you’re used to a bigger‑city rush.”
