TCNJ is one of my top schools and I’ve been accepted, however I’m still a little hesitant about making my deposit just yet. I went to an open house last September and loved the campus and everything the school has to offer. However, there is no true “college town” and the area surrounding it seems like just nothing. I know there are things to do on campus, and not everyone goes home on the weekend but I’m still wondering if people still go off campus and if there is truly anything to do outside of it. I know its not a big party school, but does greek life help with not becoming bored? Or is it not a problem at all? Im really just curious.
@misturcliff College is really what YOU make of it. As a TCNJ alum, I can tell you those were some really great years.
We used to hop the West Trenton train to Philly, we’d drive in to Princeton, go to the Market Fair, take advantage of school sponsored cheap bus trips to NYC etc. I was not of the Greek / drinking crowd, I was more of a Reading Terminal Market(Philly), Thomas Sweets chocolates(Princeton) and Movies at the MarketFair, sledding down on cafeteria trays kind of person. I’m sure there were parties and drinking. I doubt it will be at the level of a Rutgers.
