The classes are seriously great. As a member of the School of Culture and Society, mine are small (around 25 students) and while there is work, its not too much to handle if you know how to balance your time. The professors are nice and informative, and the discussion that generates is not only intriguing, but helpful.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I'm a sophomore now, so I've been at TCNJ for a while and have my bearings, and honestly can say I love it here. I fell in love when I visited, and am having the time of my life. There's tons to do, and freshman housing introduced me to people I now consider my best friends.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
TCNJ really is a great value for the tuition price - you're getting an education at the level of top universities without having to accrue a massive amount of debt.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Your first year, don't be shy! Get to know the people on your floor, go to community events that interest you (the football games are fun), and enjoy yourself. And don't worry about understanding something right away, as the professors are facillitating and will answer your questions, so don't hesitate to ask.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students who are not just academically-oriented, but have a breadth of interests, i.e. students who like to be involved and who also value good grades, generally thrive here.
