i removed the plans for expansion section b/c it made the article seem too much like an advertisement for the school and was definitely not NPOV
[edit] Photography Club
Added an external link to a Photography group I started on the photographic website Flickr. The group pool consists of a large collection of photos taken on campus. One day, I hope that the pool will become large enough to be considered a photographic documentation of Montclair State University. group can be found here --Matthew McCullough 17:47, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
There are too many photos lining the right side of the page. Some ought to be removed and a few should be integrated into the article as commonly seen throughout wikipedia.

[edit] Diverse student body?
Having come across this through the alumni category, I'm surprised at this sentance:
- Montclair State University is also home to one of the most diverse student populations in the whole of the United States of America with more than 100 nations being represented in its student body.
Is this unusual for a US university? I'll admit ignorance - here in the UK most universities of the same size could find over 100 nations in the student body. Timrollpickering 00:40, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Good point. The fact is that in some respects Montclair is less diverse than, for example, Rutgers-New Brunswick. Another point is that Montclair's student population is heavily weighted towards minorities, mainly blacks and latinos, to the point that it qualifies as a "minority" institution. The claim that it is one of the "most diverse student populations" is therefore probably a PR statement that could be clarified so that it is not so vague. particularly in a state like NJ, the diversity at Montclair is hardly shocking, so perhaps a better way to incorporate the diversity into the list of features could be found. 69.116.248.249 05:05, 18 June 2007 (UTC)MSU_Alum
39% of Montclair's student body is comprised of students whose ethnic background would be considered a minority. This forms the basis of its claims of diversity, though it is the case that the bulk of that 39% comes from African American and Latino populations. --Also an MSU Alum
