<p>I anticipate to transfer to a small tech school in Hoboken,New Jersey. Since I consider being healthy important to my life and try to avoid toxic chemicals, is it a wise choice to transfer to a large city? This question sounds a little stupid, but I currently 't live in a small city and I have not lived in a large city before.</p>
<p>i'm guessing you're transfering to stevens? hoboken isn't really a large city, but its in an absolutely awesome location. the shore parts of hoboken are really nice, lots of yuppies and people who commute to nyc for work. nj gets a bad rap because most people drive through on the turnpike and a lot of powerplants and not so nice cities run along the turnpike.</p>
<p>remember every state has crappy cities and powerplants, new jersey's just happen to run on i-95.</p>
<p>I agree with jags861, I lived in NJ until I came to North Carolina for school, but the only parts of NJ that people see are Newark for the airport or the turnpike. My best friend goes to Stevens and is liking it. Just going to school in a place is going to have minimal impacts on your health, so I would think it semi-extreme to be concerned.</p>
<p>That's good to hear. I'm considering Stevens for grad school.</p>
