<p>You will need hooks to hang the curtains but there should be metal bars in there on which you can hang your towels. The doors also had hooks on the back of them. Definitely bring a shower caddy and store all your shower stuff in it (it’s a lot easier to just grab it and go then to hunt for every item individually when you want to shower). Also, be sure to bring lots of cleaning supplies (paper towels, sponges, Windex, shower cleaner, toilet cleaner, a swiffer or something for the floor, Clorox/Lysol wipes, etc.). Also needed are dixie cups (or plastic ones), hand soap, dish soap (if you bring your own plates and stuff for eating in your room), and garbage bags. TCNJ will supply you with garbage and recycling cans but you will need to supply your own bags. </p>
<p>Also bring a pair of flip flops to wear in the shower! That’s all I can think of right now lol</p>
<p>i finally got an interview for a job. should i keep applying to more, or after the interview am i likely to be offered a position? have you ever had an on campus job?</p>
<p>Hi all, I graduated in May from TCNJ and figured I’d help out those couple other current students who are answering questions.</p>
<p>About me: I graduated with a BA in English/Secondary Ed in May. On campus, I was involved with an a cappella group and several honors societies (for English/education). Also, I was employed as a peer tutor in the Tutoring Center/Writer’s Place for 3 years (best job ever, btw!), as well as a fitness instructor for TW Fitness Center.</p>
<p>@cometstarg: I would keep applying, just because there are soooooo many people looking for on campus jobs, so competition can be fierce, depending on the job. The more you apply for, the better. I applied for pretty much everything my freshman year and didn’t get any offers, so sometimes it’s just a waiting game (I don’t know what year you are, though.) With tutoring jobs, however, there are certain criteria to apply (which can be somewhat flexible for extenuating circumstances, but as long as you have the GPA, recommendations, and interview at least pretty well, there’s a great chance you’ll get that. I know you didn’t ask in particular about that job, but I just wanted to put that out there for other people. I’d say the jobs that people generally have the best chance at getting are ones like the security desk jobs because they need lots of people for that. </p>
<p>Anyway, if people have other questions that I might be able to answer, let me know here or message me. =)</p>
<p>OMG, JEMIMA!!! Hahaha, fancy meeting you here. =P I can’t imagine why I thought a fellow Treb wouldn’t make her way on here. Maybe I thought I was the biggest procrastinator of us all. =P Miss you, girl!!</p>
<p>To Grammarqueen112, do you have a teaching license? Are you planning to teach with your degree? Are you familiar with the MAT program at TCNJ? My son is a senior at another college, but his degree will not lead to licensure, so he is planning to apply to the MAT program. How is the Education department at TCNJ?</p>
<p>Oops, haven’t checked this in a long time. I have a full-time teaching job, so I’ve been busy with the start of the year. I’m licensed to teach in NJ and PA, which is where I live (and where I’ve always lived, with the exception of the time I spent at TCNJ). Honestly, I don’t know enough about the MAT program to speak intelligently about it. I can give you my impressions of the education program, however. It’s very well-known and respected, as least in NJ, and I think most of that is warranted. My main issue with the program was that there were several classes that seemed like a waste of time, because we had covered the material in a previous class. However, I liked that from sophomore year on, we had experiences in the classroom. This allowed a lot of people who were unsure about whether they really wanted to do education figure it out from hands-on experience before finishing out the program. Though it would not be the same timeframe for the MAT (I’m guessing anyway), I think that they still get plenty of experience in the classroom. I would even have wanted more time in the classroom because regardless of the useful things you learn from a professor in a theory/psych class, you learn way more from actually being in front of the class, teaching and dealing with all the discipline, paperwork, etc. Also, to be honest, I wasn’t crazy about all of the professors in the education department, but that may have just been a personality clash on my part. Generally, they know their stuff, which is the most important thing. So really, I think my complaints could be the same as at any other college.</p>
<p>If he has other questions about the MAT in particular, he might try emailing the education department to see if they can find a current student to give him a better idea of what the program is like. I’m sure he’d get at least one response…we education majors LOVE to give our opinions! =D</p>
<p>D is doing the application now. 4.3 gpa/ 730 r/610 m/670w / act 29
plays field hockey on state champs team, works ect… what do you think?
thanks</p>
<p>hello, so i have a little problem…i just transferred from a community college after 2 years to Georgian Court University and am in the nursing program there. i was told that originally when i transferred (since i have taken almost all the prerequisites for nursing) i would be able to finish in 3 years, however i was just informed that’s not true and it will take me 4 years. Georgian Court’s tuition is a little expensive considering I’m only a commuter so i was thinking of transferring to TCNJ in the spring. TCNJ’s tuition including room and board is cheaper than what were paying now. i always wanted to go away and stay at a school but I’m a little worried that the TCNJ’s nursing program is going to be harder than it would be at my college now. Also, since i would be transferring this spring i would still be considered a freshman in the nursing program i was wondering if anyone else my age would be in the same position as me. i wouldnt really want to be the oldest one in my class and im kind of worried i wouldnt fit in since most of the students would have already formed their cliques. i have made a lot of friends at GCU and now I’m put in a position where i have to choose if i rather go to TCNJ where its a better known school or should i stay at my school now because of the friends i have there and where i feel pretty comfortable at? i would appreciate anyones opinion…i really am being rushed to make my decision since the application deadline is in 2 weeks:0</p>
<p>@ds01248 hi i am a tcnj freshman nursing student. As far as your worries about fitting in you will be just fine. There are sophmore nursing students in our freshman classes because they either failed the class or wanted to change their course sequence. It is really challenging to stay in the nursing program but its not impossible. One requirement is having a 78 average in anatomy I this semester. But after that the program gets easier they say.</p>
<p>thanks for responding Haleeka…i just heard today from a friend that the nursing program at tcnj is really hard which worries me since i only passed with C’s in the anat/phys. classes and microbiology so idk if ill be able to keep up with their classes:/</p>
<p>I’m very interested in TCNJ but when I visited it I heard from a few people that it used to be considered a ‘suitcase school’ is this still true? Or are most people still on the campus over the weekend? I am from out of state so I would not be able to go home on the weekends. Also, what campus events are there for students (besides trips to NYC and other cities) ?
Thanks!</p>
(this is “Jemima” btw)</p>
small world huh??</p>
