<p>WE toured last year and although our S wasn’t interested, he prefered an urban campus, they offered half out of state tuition and the Honors Program which involves the top 14% of students and has one of the better dorm settings in the middle of the campus square. I thought the red brick and green space was beautiful. Steps from the little town of Newark that seemed to have some old taverns, dry cleaners and the like as you would see on a real Main St, then also book and art stores, cafes, coffee shops. Evidently some dorms are further off campus and a friend’s son described those settings as very alcohol oriented. Check the PR and Fiske guides. I think there is a fair amount of drinking, perhaps the mid-range for colleges, but not on the big time party school lists. Short train ride to Phila., NYC, DC make the location great. Near enough for skiing and the beach.</p>
