County in New Jersey
Current Resident: Somerset county is a very diverse place. Especially in a town called Franklin is one of if not the most diverse places in New Jersey. The school system is great and the kids come out ready for post graduate life. My neighbors and friends are very familiar with each other and helpful if we or they have any needs. The extra- curriculars in Somerset are a very wide variety. In my life I have done sports, girl scouts, and community service. That is not even half of what the town has to offer for the youth....

Alum: As a child of international parents moved from school to school, I found Oneness-Family School to be a warm, caring community, where I could explore my passions and interests, engage with my peers on creative projects, learn at my own pace, and enjoy a range of activities, including art, music, yoga, camping, and especially musical theater! At Oneness-Family School, social and emotional learning is taught alongside a challenging academic curriculum. I so much value the "soft skills" and values I learned there. Additionally, I felt heard, cared for and respected by all my teachers, and am still in touch with many today!... Read 18 reviews

Current Resident: What I like most about this county is that they provide easy access to things that are necessary. For example, if you need something fixed you can easily find someone to help you out. One thing I do believe needs to be fixed is more community service participation as a lot of students and adults seem to forget their community can get dirty. They need to understand that just because their keeping themselves clean but doesn’t mean their keeping they’re surroundings clean too.... Read 13 reviews

Current Resident: I have grown up Union for all 22 years of my life. I have seen Union grow, from seeing my friendly neighbors down Morris Ave to the Italian festival. My family has been residents of Union Township for 28 years and have brought all four of their children to Union High School. As Union is continuing to grow and building more apartments. I hope that the township’s continues to show and respect their community and hope to bring back festivals that help bring us together. What I really did enjoy from Union this past Spring was when they used to have food trucks come by city hall and will try various of cultural dishes. One thing I know is that food really can bring a community together and I have me people with small businesses and how blessed it was for them to share their story. One things Union has is the respect for the small businesses that are currently in Union and I hope that they continue to thrive as well. I will never forget the place I originally was from as I venture out.... Read 51 reviews

Nearby Resident: Sussex is a gorgeous rural town. I personally fell in love with the atmosphere and landscape from the mountain views to the lake communities. My personal favorite spot is High Point which is relatively close to Sussex. High Point's monument is a staple in its entirety however, at sunset its a photographers dream or in my case a form of serenity for a stressed out nursing student. The spacious land is never dull in any season of the year from the spring and its sprouting wild flowers, to the summer with lakes filled with splashing memories and the hint of sunscreen lingering in the air, to the fall and its leaves robust colors, and to the winter and its mounds of snow. Furthermore, the sunsets you can always rely on for their beauty with the sun clinging onto the horizon of the mountains spreading its last few moment of light are nothing short of glorious. Sussex is the reason why New Jersey is known as the Garden State! ... Read 14 reviews

It is less busy and more houses then anything . It’s a nice a county with a lot to offer like the beach’s, boardwalks, malls, shopping centers, and fun activities. The only thing I would change is upgrading some of the buildings and making more places to eat and shop in the smaller towns. The schools are not bad either a lot of students know each other and get a long. It’s not to expensive either to live here, there are some more expensive neighbors and privates schools too which is nice.... Read 13 reviews

Parent: Fusion Montclair is right in the heart of downtown. The school is one on one teaching and the atmosphere is very supportive. It is a small private school so every child gets the attention they need to succeed. Classes are one on one with child and teacher and then there is a homework cafe where the students can get more support if they need with homework or questions. I truly believe the education received at Fusion is worth the tuition for this very special niche private school!... Read 1 review
