The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) is a mostly academic school. It's great for students who are in non-stem fields especially business and education.
The engineering department lacks faculty as often times engineering students cannot enroll in their required classes and some courses only offer one professor.
Additionally, the campus has (as of now) very poor diversity, especially amongst the black community in terms of students and falculty. In order of majority, it includes Caucasians, Southeastern Asians (India to Indonesia), Hispanics, and African Americans. Recently, as the class sizes of incoming freshmen increase so does the diversity of the school by small but substantial increments. Additionally, measurements have been put in place to sponsor more inclusivity among students.

I am currently attending The College of New Jersey and I absolutely love it. I lived on campus for one year and now I commute from my home in Northern NJ. Since my first major is Education of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing and my second Psychology, I have mainly spent my time in the Education Building and the Social Sciences Building. The professors here are incredibly intelligent and love to get to know the students as more than just a number. This is mainly due to the small class sizes, which I believe is one of the benefits of this institution. The professors are willing to work with you outside of class because they truly value your understanding of the subjects. I am continuously motivated to become a future educator by the professors that I have had and I can't wait to continue on in this career. I always feel safe when I am on campus and although the food isn't amazing, it is much better than other colleges that I have visited! Overall, I love TCNJ and I'm happy to be here!
The College of New Jersey is an excellent institution. Nestled in the suburban town of Ewing, NJ, TCNJ is in an excellent location by being close to major cities. The campus is beautiful and kept very well. The academics are outstanding and having small class sizes allows for each student to have individual attention. There are a plethora of ways to get involved at TCNJ. Overall, deciding to attend TCNJ has been the best choice of my life so far!
