Sussex County Reviews
Rating 4.47 out of 5 15 reviews
I like how Sussex County feels like a community, and everyone is welcoming. The schools try are academically challenging, and the teachers try their best to from relationships with the students and push them beyond their limits. The environment feels safe and secure in most areas, and it is very family friendly. The commute time is difficult for some people though. There is some diversity. There are many job opportunities, especially in the area of teaching.
I've had an okay experience within Sussex County. I believe some of the schools could become safer and should be given a higher budget to further education.
Sussex County is like no other county in New Jersey. In my opinion, it should be rated in the top 5 counties to live in. The beauty and serenity of the county is something to cherish and enjoy. People are warm and friendly; businesses are willing to go the extra mile to help you in any way that they can. All my experiences have been positive, whether I am doing business or visiting the sites. It's an amazing place to raise a family. It is an exceptional county with so many amenities, too many to list.
