What are the key strengths of TCNJ?

For those of you with first hand knowledge, could you tell me about the major advantages of TCNJ? I am not looking for comparisons with other schools or long lists of gripes. I am essentially asking a question similar to what an applicant might be asked - Why TCNJ?

I like TCNJ because it is a smart school, and you can find a niche here no matter what you're interested in. Theres plenty of food, a gym, friends, stuff to do, people to meet, etc. Classes are typically good and I haven't yet had a class over 40. (junior) Lots of facetime with prof's if you make use of it.

If you have any other more specific q's, then ask!

What do you mean when you say TCNJ is a "smart" school?

Small class size, no TA's, good profs, happy students generally, good bio program if you're applying to that.

Smart as in most care about their studies even if they like to party.

TCNJ is often described as a great "value" school. Can anyone comment on this?
