As a person who has done a Non Stem program at a business school, try getting into Baruch, which falls under the CUNY system. If you are confident on your skill set that you will be able to progress without much help of the college then go for NJCU else keep looking.

It is a decent option but its name doesn't jump out to employers either. You may want to look at Rutgers or St Peters University as well but both are more expensive. What you really should be looking at is what internship opportunities do they offer you? Are graduates successful when they leave?

Although the school plays a part in your career, what matters more is the connections you make while you are in school which is why internships are important.

Since the article is paywalled, I"ll also share this post from Friends of Liberty State Park:

Thanks DEP Commissioner Shawn LaTourette for powerfully rejecting billionaire Paul Fireman's LSP commercial venues plans! "Visions of a 5,000-seat sports arena, gone. Thoughts of a 7,000-seat concert venue, also gone. "The head of the DEP laid out general plans for the revitalization of LSP Thursday, but he was specific in saying there would be no major commercialization or privatization of the state park on the Hudson River waterfront".

“Privatization of a public asset that is owned by no one because it belongs to everyone is not a thing, period, full stop,” said DEP Commissioner Shawn LaTourette.

But we must stay involved as billionaire Paul Fireman's front groups are still pushing lies about the interior 165 acres of spectacular diverse habitats and paths, and pretending that the DEP isn't going to add 61 acres of active recreation to LSP

Please attend to support the Thursday March 23 DEP Open House from 6:30 to 8pm at the Terminal with poster exhibits of the amazing urban nature plans and improvement concepts for LSP and with DEP staff there to answer questions and receive any comments. It's an information session and not a public hearing.

You might want to look into the financial troubles it is having. I'm not trying to be overdramatic, but at present, there is at least some question about its continued, long-term existence.

>multiple construction projects for the next year or two

hahahahaha!!!! lmao. Dude, that entire parking lot is going to be a construction zone for 15-20 years, at least. There are 10+ buildings going up in that area. The original plans called for 15 residential buildings, but I believe the latest revision includes only 12 or 13.

I hope so. I was bracing for the worst since it’s a managed building and they usually don’t care about retaining existing tenants. Wouldn’t even let me sign a two year last year.
