since you mentioned you hate landlords themselves , im curious to hear your solution

Some articles are also noting that 40% of the recent deaths since December are attributed to ships hitting them or fishing related equipment.

this is why i like being a homeowner. u dont worry about rent increases. even if it means a longer commute and buying in a remote part of the state.

From what I was reading on news sites, the humpback whale population was noted as rebounding or having significant growth. So while we should probably figure out what's causing this, their population is in an ok spot, for now.

Same - I was like oh what a great concept for recycling/waste reduction! Then I actually drove right by it and saw the terrible truth that these weren’t shipping containers, but a purposefully chosen color scheme.

I used to live in Trenton, it's not so bad if you...who am I kidding, it was home but I hated it.

I used to have a roommate that worked the bottling line for River Horse back when they were in Lambertville, I was in heaven with how much Tripel Horse he'd bring home every weekend

People still go to malls if you don't live in South Jersey. Menlo, Garden State, Short Hills, etc.. All packed during the weekends.

Having gone through the Ewing school system, it's incredibly odd and eerie to hear that both of those schools were named directly.

I hate to think what would've happened if he had gotten away from the scene in Michigan

I make way more than that and I can't afford to live there.

Also, not that great of a crowd there imo.

I attended classes at all 3 (albeit not physics). Rutgers NB > NJIT > Rutgers Newark.

Looking back transferring from NJIT to Rutgers NB was a great choice for me for many reasons, but as other's suggested take a look at the programs and what you want out of them first. There's a lot more support for students coming out of the military, FWIW.

I hate landlords so damn much. This is ludicrous and I just can’t fathom how much longer people are supposed to just swallow these increases.

In their defense, when the idea was hatched to build it like 20 years ago, people actually still went to malls.

Considering more than half of NJIT students major in engineering, that’s a pretty big exception.

Why not? They offered to clean up all environmental issues and it wouldn’t be a money pit.

Idiots. They have a protest planned against the wind turbines "FoR tHe WhAlEs" this Sunday in point pleasant. As if they actually give a shit about the whales

I actually was looking at Montclair for monetary reasons but NJIT has similar stuff in that regard. So I’ve pretty much eliminated them. They do have a combined BS/MS in Physics/Applied Maths though that looked interesting.

Yea…no…

Well this is assuming (since a couple people here chimed about about going to other schools) for whatever reason if you can’t attend either of the schools you mentioned, I would avoid Montclair state. It’s not that it’s bad but the Physics department there is still young and growing (it split from the Math dept about a year before COVID) and for now it’s only offering astronomy electives (unless that’s what you want to get into). They are hiring more profs and it seems like they are on the right track to expanding and I hope it flourishes. But when compared to other schools “rigor” like RU and NJIT to MSU, obviously RU and NJIT blow MSU out of the water (I’m sure for other majors but I’m specifically referring to physics). This was told to me by my advisor at MSU.

I feel your pain. I live in Morris County, the western part so not as pricy as Morristown, Chatham, etc. My rent went from 1510 to 1665. Which I thought was a lot, but i just looked at the complex website. Which only shows rents if they have units available. My complex is old; built in the late 60's, so very dated. They have been updating units, and were charging about $200 more for those. Not upgrades, but updates.

Anyway, i just saw that my size apartment, starts at $1895, and another w as $100 more, so I'm assuming that's an updated unit. Between that and my recent car payment, I'm paying $400 a month more than I was a few months ago. And like you I can afford it, but not much left over. I also thought about looking elsewhere but rents are comparable, and my complex is actually very good. Between maintenance, snow removal, keeping the grounds nice, and great office staff, i know what I have, and if I moved, i might be able to save a bit, but it may be a shithole.

Check this out from the State.

Lol, I thought it was a bunch of stacked shipping containers for a few years until I found out it wasn't. It was so ugly.

The come for the pizza

Yeah my wife went to Rutgers and is doing good lol
