Reply to Views on NJCU by PepsiBrandAmbassador

i currently go to NJCU & am a business management major. njcu has a bit of a shitty reputation, but a lot of that is comments that people have been saying for years & i think have just stuck to the school. i’m currently a junior, & i haven’t had any issues. i will say you get what you put into it though. opportunities, unlike at other schools, aren’t always pushed to students unless you really look yourself and cultivate the relationship with staff yourself. i have had no problems with getting internships, and the business school is really good with providing students with opportunities.

i do agree with the comments about the lack of exposure njcu gets, i have found myself having to really supplement my education with job experiences since most employers won’t recognize the name but to say you won’t be successful because of that is a bit much.

the current financial situation is a bit of a headache right now, but they have been open on what’s going on and what the plan is. they hold public meetings what’s going on & honestly, as a student here I do not see the university closing but I tend to bite my tongue on things like that since i don’t own a crystal ball lol.

if you have any specific questions feel free to DM me :)

Yeah but this is New Jersey, not Texas. We actually do have a pretty decent track record when it comes to parks, even though we could probably do better in urban areas.

NJ ranks second in the nation for the proportion of land dedicated to public parks and wildlife. Thats pretty impressive for a state that’s also the most densely populated in the country. Source

The DEP has their own plan in place for more active recreation in the park, but it's not paid venues and doesn't involve filling up every bit of open space like the billionaire's plan.

Not that I expected that plan to ever be enacted — it's a trojan horse so Fireman can bulldoze the Caven Point nature preserve to expand his millionaires-only golf course. It's what he's been after for years, and he's run one astroturf campaign after another to try and open up the park to development.
