Best Answer
i went on the campus tour when applying, and the campus is really nice, and the dorms are really nice too, and each dorm has its own bathroom [so its not like co-ed bathrooms or 1 bathroom per floor or whatever] and the campus is diverse and theres always alot going on
the only bad thing is, its that its REALLY REALLY REALLY selective...its one of the most selective in NJ
