@stones3 - Once again you almost seem to take these posts personally. It is not about the size of the school. Much as you like to cite statistics ad nauseam regarding TCNJ’s prowess as an undergraduate business school, the statistics regarding Jewish population are what they are. There is no comparison between the schools when it comes to a vibrant Jewish life. Characterizing TCNJ as “intimate” does not render it vibrant. Personally, I think @rebeccar 's post comes across loud and clear on this. As for the school emptying out, this is, in the first place, the observation of a student who spent the past year at TCNJ. Very happy your child has had a different experience, but this is not a true or false dichotomy. This is the way our niece perceived things. The statistics, however, are clear. More than 40% of TCNJ students live off campus. While there are many legitimate reasons for this (most of which have nothing to do with the availability of housing), it most certainly supports a personal perception that the campus “empties out” on weekends. More than 40% of the undergraduate population are going home! Since we are also on the subject of perception, I think it important to reiterate that, whatever its rank may be in any particular subject area, TCNJ affords one of the narrowest college social experiences in the country. With an undergraduate population of close to 95% in-state, TCNJ rivals Kean College (98%), NJCU (99%), NJIT (95%), and NJCU (99%), to name a few with comparable in-state populations.
