Hello! My son has narrowed it down to these two schools and I pray has a decision by weekend so we can get on with planning! Can anyone weigh in on how they feel about either? He’s nervous of the size of Ursinis (very small) and I’m worried everyone goes home on weekend from TCNJ. Anyone have any experience and feel strongly about either one? Much appreciated any input in these interesting times to figure out the next 4 years for him!
No firsthand experience, but both are good schools. TCNJ is not really a commuter school anymore. I know several kids there who never come home and love it. I know another recruited athlete a Ursinus who is also very happy, but says it is small.
Is there a big money difference? What’s the major? Personally loved TCNJ and think it’s a great bargain, but D felt it was too small and hated the freshman dorms!
Thank you! not really a money difference and hes undeclared at Ursinis and History at TCNJ. It is a really nice campus and gla to hear its not as much as a suitcase school! and yes Ive heard a lot about those freshman dorms hahaha where did D end up?
She’s a class of '21 so don’t know yet! My son is finishing up junior year at Rowan. The kids I know at TCNJ and Ursinus are all finishing up junior year. I think I would give the academic nod to TCNJ but I really don’t know a lot about your other school. Good luck!
Thank you for your help! He decided on TCNJ! glad we can start planning! Best of luck to your kids!
Sorry for the late reply but I think your will be very happy at TCNJ. My son (2022) chose TCNJ and loves it there. He has a great group of friends and rarely comes home, and when he does he usually brings someone with him.
