The College of New Jersey (Ewing, NJ): The College of New Jersey boasts outstanding academic programs that are less costly than those at other comparable schools. TCNJ's location near both Lawrenceville and Princeton ensures that there are plenty of college students and ongoing activities close by. The newly opened $120-million College Town across from the main campus entrance is a public-private partnership that includes one-, two-, and four-bedroom apartments, shops, and restaurants for students. TCNJ has spent significant time and money to position itself as a powerful academic competitor and has been pulling top students in the state away from Rutgers. The college's academics, size (6,000), and professor/student interactions provide for a positive learning atmosphere, and it is particularly strong in sciences, education, business, and music.
