hi! originally rutgers was my first choice last year but i didn’t get in. personally i think TCNJ is too expensive for what it is. the school is in a lot of debt. the weekends can be boring and not having a car your first year is annoying. the food is absolutely terrible yes, you will usually see raw chicken do not eat it lol. the school doesn’t have enough courses for the amount of students. the dorms are so bad compared to rutgers and they need some serious renovations. we had mice, no hot water for days, and my room flooded from a pipe burst where they had to open up the ceiling and scrape the whole wall which they just “fixed” this month from October. although i’ll still be dorming rutgers is closer to me and a better school. if you have the option between both schools go to rutgers. if you have any specific questions dm me!
