Everyone finds a group of friends they share common interests with and get along with.

Inquisitive. Diverse. Intelligent.

They are enthusiastic and generally friendly, though some are annoying because they talk for the sake of talking and getting participation points.

All are high achievers yet also socially interested in the college experience.

Some required classes are seemingly pointless and irrelevant, but electives are interesting.

my classmates are a diverse group of students who provide great input to trhe class discussion.

Most people keep to themselves if they don't already know other people in the class, but the SOCS system allows everyone to be able to contact each other for help or to form study groups, which can be very helpful.

smart

My classmates are, in general, white, middle- to upper-middle class, intelligent, ambitious, weekend partiers.

They are generally very smart and often friendly but a little too cut throat and sometimes pretentious.

There are so many organizations on campus; anything you could possible imagine. And if we dont have it, feel free to start it. My friends just started a Phillipino Dance Club. No one would feel out of place at school because there are so many sports teams (varsity and club) as well as hundreds of organzations ranging from LGBT to different racial organzations. Greek life is huge at TCNJ. 13{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of our campus is involved in either a fraternity or sorority which are mulitcultural, greek, and business and education Greek organzations. I love that there are various organzations because we intermingle and everyone is always advertising their respective organziations and holding events. Students usually don't dress up for class; if you come in PJ's, no one will think twice. There are always opportunities for different student's to interact whether it be in the Student Center or anywhere else on campus. Many of the sports people stick together and many of the Greek life people stick together when eating in the dining halls. 95 percent of students are from the state of NJ. After goign to TCNJ for my third year, I've learned so many new areas of New Jersey that I never knew existed. Most students come from middle class families. Some students are politically active; not most of them though. There are all types of political views on campus. We have a College Republican club and also a club where they rally about liberal ideas. It's a very well rounded student body and I always love to meet people on my campus because I always learn something new.

there is a ton of diversity on campus, students who are white, middle class, and from the suburbs will feel out of place (i know i did at first), most students wear jeans or sweats, different types of students do not interact and are very segregated, most tcnj students are from new jersey--- make that all tcnj students, except me and 3 others, are from new jersey, most are from a lower socio-economic class, students are not that politically aware or active, predominantly whatever their parents vote, and students do not discuss future earnings
