<p>Hi all! So as my college selection process begins, I am very interested in NJ schools. I would love to hear anyone's opinions on what I would consider my top 3:
1- Monmouth University (any opinions on homes college?)
2- TCNJ
3- Fairleigh Dickinson (any opinions on their honors school too?)</p>
<p>Thank you! :)</p>
<p>I love TCNJ! It is a great school and has a great reputation. One of the few public LACs. That said, if you are not in state I think the cost is high. OOS privates often come out cheaper with merit/FA.</p>
<p>Fairleigh Dickinson - This school has great learning disability support. If you do not have a LD, I think TCNJ academically beats FD and has better housing options.</p>
<p>I do not know enough about Monmouth, so I’ll let others give opinions on that.</p>
<p>TCNJ is much more selective and higher ranked than the other two. If your stats make you truly competitive for TCNJ, I think there are a lot of other better schools to consider above either Monmouth or Farleigh Dickinson.</p>
<p>TCNJ has the best reputation of all three and is the best value for the money. I agree with Sacchi; it’s beyond the league of your other choices.</p>
<p>Monmouth has a lovely campus and they are doing a lot of building there. It has good programs in some pre-professional majors.</p>
<p>What do you want to study?</p>
<p>Keep in mind that since NJ is a relatively small state, many students go home on the weekends. My nephew found that to be a little bit of a problem at TCNJ, and he found himself going home to PA a lot as well. As he got into junior and senior year, that happened less often. He was in a club sport and still felt the campus emptied out a little more than he would have liked on weekends.</p>
