hi everyone! i’m an incoming freshman and my roommate and i are going to dorm at centennial hall. i was wondering how dorming there is like, specifically the communal bathrooms?

Lowkey like this school so far. I'm finishing here after transferring from Montclair State (none of the Rutgers didn't accept me, would've gone to any). Other than that, I've liked it so far, but I feel it definitely is shadowed by the Rutgers schools in terms of visibility and/or recognition. How would you make TCNJ better in terms of recognition or to increase the brand?

Incoming transfer student for fall 2026, I’ve been attempting to use paws daily and every time the website barely functions. Whenever I click on one of the options nine times out of ten it tells me “XML invalid” or “you are not authorized to access this page”. The only thing that fixes this is endless refreshing. Anyone else or just me?

My son lost something irreplaceable during the NCAA Division III Region 3 Wrestling Tournament at TCNJ between February 27–28 while assistant coaching for Eastern University, and I’m hoping this community might help.

After my wife passed away from breast cancer in 2022, he began wearing her engagement ring and anniversary band on a white gold chain around his neck to keep her close to him. Somewhere during the tournament at the TCNJ arena, the chain either broke or came loose, and both rings were lost.

We know this is a long shot. At this point, it’s less about jewelry and entirely about what they represent to him and our family.

The rings would have been:
• A wedding/engagement ring set
• Worn on a white gold chain
• Lost somewhere in or around the wrestling areas at TCNJ during the D3 Region 3 tournament

If anyone happened to find them, heard about them, or knows someone connected to event staff, cleanup crews, officials, coaches, or athletes who may have come across them, I would be deeply grateful for any information at all.

Please feel free to DM me.

Thank you for even taking the time to read this.

Hey Lions,

I’m trying to get Amtrak to finally add stops at Hamilton Station for TCNJ students. It’s ridiculous that we are stuck with slow NJ Transit transfers or $30 Ubers from Trenton.

The Logic is Simple:
If Amtrak stops at Newark Penn for NJIT and Rutgers-Newark, New Brunswick for Rutgers-NB, and Princeton Junction for Princeton University, then why can't Amtrak stop at Hamilton for Rider and TCNJ students?

Why we need this:

• The "Summer of Hell" Fix: If you have an internship in NYC, Philly, Wilmington, Boston, or Washington D.C you know NJ Transit is a coin toss. Amtrak is a "one-seat" guaranteed ride that actually shows up.
• Insanely Cheap Fares: With Amtrak’s Night Owl fares and the 15% Student Discount, you can get to NYC, Philly, or DC for $5–$20. That’s often cheaper than the NJT ticket.
• Safety First: No more waiting for late-night transfers at Trenton or Newark Penn. You get off at Hamilton and you're 10 minutes from campus.
• Study While You Ride: Unlike NJT, Amtrak has free Wi-Fi and actual tray tables. You can actually finish your paper on the way to the city.

How to help (30 seconds):
I’ve already reached out to Mayor Jeff Martin’s office, but we need numbers.

Let's call the Mayors office and let him know it's not just one person.

Let's go to the Amtrak Website and use their contact us form. Then click on the accessibility, and tell them we need Amtrak to stop at Hamilton Station.

One Drawback:
Even if we can sucessfully push for Amtrak to stop at Hamilton station, that does not do us any good if the TCNJ LOOP BUS doesn't run to Hamilton Station every day. Right now it's only Fridays and Saturdays. Can we please also push to get TCNJ to offer MORE BUS SERVICE to Hamilton station?

Let's ROAR for Action!

I finally got off the waitlist for TCNJ’s Biology program, but I didn't read the email thoroughly enough. I got the email on April 27th and they said I have until April 28th to accept my offer. It’s now April 30th and I’m just realizing. It’s my fault for not being attentive to the email but I’m scared now with commitment day being tomorrow.

I’ve already emailed them today to explain, but I’m spiraling. Is it normal for colleges to have such a strict confirmation process? I feel like I’ve completely ruined my chances and I’m just disregarded from the program now. I might call them tomorrow morning but now I’m unsure.

I'm a high school junior and am interested in attending TCNJ (It's in my top 3). How many AP classes did you guys take in high school?

hi, i’m going to be a freshman next school year and my major is marketing. these might be some stupid questions but i need some help :(

1) school supplies. i want to plan ahead, i cant wait to see what i need, so in theory what would i really need, especially for marketing?

2) stem class? i heard something about how every student is required to take some sort of stem class and was recommended the chem labs. i never took ap bio, chem or physics so i’m apparently not excused from this.

3) just general advice haha

thank you so much!

I am currently in my senior year, I am trying to look for a job after graduation. I have applied for over 200 places and still have not even had a single interview yet. I have tried asking my friends and family if they know someone who can help me get a job. However, I am having no luck. Is anyone else having the same trouble finding job just like me? Does anyone have any advice of what I can try to help me find a job?

Is the fact they called a delayed opening rather than a cancelled class a bad sign?

Just wanted to know, especially for study groups, thank you.

Hey guys, just wanted to share if you're looking for a flexible side job or are part of greek life/clubs I'd suggest looking into paid ambassador programs/brand partnerships. i started doing this sophomore year when my friend suggested it to me and it has made me good money/helped with saving my club's budget when organizing my social events. i find most of my gigs by checking handshake, an app called home from college, and specific company websites (sometimes they will have a dedicated page called college ambassador program)

Hi! I am currently making a decision on colleges, and TCNJ is really high up there for me, and while I know about the game dev in the IMM major, I want to hear directly from students if the game dev there is any good.

My son is a high school senior who was accepted to TCNJ. The Acceptance Revocation policy expects all admitted students to maintain a high level of academic success throughout their period of study prior to enrollment at TCNJ. The policy defines this as:

1. Maintain academic standing: a student who continues to perform well academically after having been admitted to TCNJ.
   1. Grades remain within two iterations of grade point average

Can anyone explain what "Grades remain within two iterations of grade point average" means?

Does anyone know if any of the lanes on the track have been cleared? Thanks!

My niece was really hoping to go to TCNJ starting fall 2026 but she was notified today that she has been deferred. Does anyone know if there’s a chance of getting accepted or should just commit to one of the other schools that accepted her? I feel so bad for her she is really disappointed.

Was thinking about getting another PT job on campus. I know there’s a 15 hour limit for on campus jobs and I already have one so was curious if CampusTown (excluding fitness center) had anything offered?
