No man it’s a bad look. These kids leave and some don’t come back. Strikes me as total folly that we don’t do more to retain them in state. Highly educated college graduate young people are the most productive people in the country from an ROI stand point.

I figure by actually researching a topic before formulating an opinion on it. Try doing it and you’ll be able to do the same

And likely that will stay that way for our lifetimes. NYC is the financial heart of the world that has a population almost the size of the next 3 cities combined. I just don’t see that changing any time soon.

DE is famously an urban Mecca. Gtfo out of here

How do you figure? If you commute in state it can’t possibly be cheaper to move out of state to go to school. State school rate in NJ is pretty dang affordable until you add in housing

Yup you got it. It’s also much cheaper to go to those schools in state than it is to go to the equivalent schools in state in NJ. The schools in NY are much better than the equivalents in NJ too. This guy is just going off of vibes to form his opinions lol

You’re in the minority on this one so maybe you need to get out more and speak with different folks. You sound like you don’t talk to black ppl ever.

I don't think it was intentional, but that doesn't make it any more acceptable.

New York is on the list but ranks lower than PA and DE. This also gets into the main reasons kids leave the state: cost. It’s more expensive to go to in state schools here than it is to go to a lot of private schools in other states. You really have to actually do some research before assuming.

There's something wrong when that's the only description as if..... that's the only thing to work on. You need to get more life experiences and realize people don't live or experience life like you.

Anyways, cheers and I'm done responding

NY has a huge state university system, NYC has a huge city university system, there is NYU and a bunch of other schools in NY

Young adults want to go to schools with night lives. NYC is right there!

NYC: many schools, “top” city in the US according to many, tons of nightlife

NJ: nobody wants to be in Newark. New Brunswick is okay…. And wait what big colleges do we have in cities outside Newark? Oh right all the ones in… NYC… which is not in NJ

Looks like New York sends a similar amount of kids to college (when you adjust for their population compared to ours). How come so many New Yorkers stay in state compared to us? Less rebellious kids?

There’s not gonna be one source that can outline all the socioeconomic and geographic complexities that goes into “how people graduating from high school pick colleges” but here’s some (old) data around high school graduation rates and enrollment in a college anywhere across all the states http://www.higheredinfo.org/dbrowser/index.php?submeasure=63&year=2010&level=nation&mode=data&state=0

Agree...the reference to "black" wasn't needed. We need to be more cognizant of the words we choose and try to avoid stereotyping/profiling. I'm sure it wasn't intentional.

There is nothing wrong with pointing out that these con artists were black. It’s helpful to know for anyone else in the neighborhood that they might try to con. You need to grow up

Gusto Grill is a nice spot bc they have good drinks and a variety of food depending on your level of hunger and your diet.

Just in Old Bridge is a nice experience too, though it is located behind a gas station which could give an odd impression.

You won’t be fat from New Brunswick which has a nice variety of restaurants. If you like Ethiopian food, Dashen is a solid spot. You can walk up and down George Street and there are some bars and other restaurants that you can check out.

🤮🤮🤮 What are you looking to spend? If the sky is the limit I would venture to Cafe Luna $$$$on route 9 10 minutes from mall. There is also Cucina Nuevo. $$$close by really good and BYOB. Pine Tavern has been my go to recently more moderately priced good quality Food and drinks. I would make a reservation and try to make it early. Raman Nagami is a great place I like the burnt Onion. off the charts still trying to figure out how they make those eggs. Very crowded small place. Old Man Rafferties was a pleasant surprise the other night the Burgers were good and beer was great. Good luck.

If you’re up for a short drive I would go to Princeton, they have some great bars/restaurants you can bounce around. Agricola is my personal favorite. Closer to east brunswick is Salt Creek Grill that’s a nice date spot too but nothing else around.

Ringwood Manor.

Be aware that the website for the place, http://www.ringwoodmanor.org/, is kaput.
