The College of New Jersey is ranked #3 in Regional Universities North. With a student-faculty ratio of 13-1, professors are able to assist students more frequently. They are caring, helpful and want every student to succeed. There is a variety of sports, clubs, activities and organizations to choose from each semester. The campus food is very good with such a variety. The dorms are clean and well maintained. Check out Campus Town, the new addition to the school, it's amazing!
Review The College of New Jersey
Hands down the best choice. Small classes are more intimate and you feel like more than just a student-- the professors actually know you by name and care about your success. Mentality is key-- if you are party/Greek life oriented, you may be adversely affected in the class room. But if you are study-oriented, you'll succeed with flying colors. Wouldn't choose any other college or campus!
Oh boy. Going here was the worst decision of the first 18 years of my life. Ewing is an awful and miserable town. There is literally nothing to do. The only things to do off campus are go bowling, go to an incredibly mis managed taco bell, or buy drugs. This school is boring and everyone here is stuck up. The only reason people go here is because they are afraid to go to a big school or they are nerds. There is nothing to do here but study. Greek life here is cool but the school literally kicks every frat off campus. Only 100 students received bids this year when over 400 rushed.
Open parties are in sketchy neighborhoods in Ewing. You need to buy tickets days in advance before parties, and they are $10, even for girls. Campus police will arrest send you to court. Please dont go here. Go somewhere interesting. Dont shelter yourself. I know you want to go here because you are afraid of a big school and want to go somewhere more academic. Dont make the same mistake I did.
