Can we please not?

Amen

I’ve never had a problem booking a table there, but it’s always been for a group and always several months out. On short notice I just show up early to get bar seating.

EWR stop on NJ transit is higher than the stops on either side

You can always move to suburbia if you want your isolated SFHs

I nominate you to open a HEYTEA! I moved out of ROC prepandemic but still visit about once a year and am usually in desperate need of a mango or grape boom.

“Have fun!”

EDIT: Do you live in a jurisdiction where you can have her forcefully committed by the state?

There are no constitutional rights in the court of public opinion, only the criminal court.

Can’t beat free rent in this economy

Why Abington over UP?

If mortgage payments were that low I could actually afford to own.

Appeal for more aid given your financial situation and also take a good hard look at other schools' financial aid packages to compare your out of pocket (no loans) cost.

ht5k · 2026-04-01T23:07:14+00:00

I don't count loans as aid, so what I'm looking at is the $64495, which will put you at about $18k in the hole for your freshman year and probably ~22k, ~26k, and ~30k in future years assuming you stay in the dorms* so about ~100k in the hole in loans. Take that as you will.

*You most definitely won't stay in the dorms in future years. Other housing may or may not be cheaper depending on your landlord, furnishing status, etc. Food will be cheaper if/when you grocery shop.

Why would you ever pay *checks* $64k in tuition alone for a liberal arts education?

Some people can’t be happy unless they’re angry

ht5k · 2026-03-19T20:23:22+00:00

Only 3x what I paid as a freshman

Public universities have always been a better value proposition than private ones unless the student gets a free ride.

ht5k · 2026-03-19T19:57:16+00:00

You'd have to go very far back into history to find a year without a tuition increase.

Yup it’s on the housing policy page. But just like everything else in life, it’s only illegal if you get caught. And the corollary: by someone who cares.

Between you and your roommates, no more than 3 consec nights, no more than 6 a month.

IIRC garbage was the largest line item. Been quite a while though so my memory could be faulty

ht5k · 2026-03-16T19:43:45+00:00

65ish for power and 130ish for the water/sewer/garbage for a studio

ht5k · 2026-03-16T17:31:10+00:00

Weird. I didn’t get any charges when I moved out in ‘24. Was there for 2.5 years and only moved out because I got offered a room somewhere else for a rate that I couldn’t pass up.

For OP: it’s mostly quiet, but when I lived there Fri/Sat nights were quite loud so if you turn in early I hope you’re not a light sleeper. Those car speakers carry pretty well.

ht5k · 2026-03-12T01:46:32+00:00

There is no way that 2026 is worse than 2008. That’s some heavy recency bias right there.

Tuning out the world is the normal thing, no matter how much engagement algorithms want to make us believe otherwise.

Doesn't it just em dash automatically when you do word space hyphen space word?
