Yeah, these suggestions to go visit some other college campus completely boggle the mind.
beans 33, something not mentioned here. You probably realize that our campus is more urban than other B1G schools. RU has 5 campuses in the New Brunswick area: (1) Busch-this is where the football stadium is located--it is the least urban of the area campuses and primarily is home to the colleges of engineering and pharmacy, as well as our medical school and other athletic facilities; (2) Livingston-this is where the RAC (our basketball facility) and baseball facilities are located, as well as our business school. Some consider this our campus of the future, where the newer buildings have a modern look; (3) College Avenue- across the Raritan River from the Busch Campus, this is considered our "main" campus and the actual location of the first collegiate football game. This is where the frats and sorororities are located, and where you will find the bars and restaurants, most of which are on Easton Ave, Somerset Street and George Street. Our Zimmerli Art museum is on this campus, as well as Kirkpatrick Chapel, which are worth a visit. There is also a good Geology museum on the main campus; (4) Douglass Campus and (5) Cook Campus--these two campuses are often referred to together as Cook/Douglass. Douglass was an all women's college, and Cook is our agricultural school. Visitors from the midwest sometimes wonder why NJ is called the Garden State. There is a working farm on Cook Campus, as well as our Food Science research building. Visit this area, in particular the Passion Puddle, as this is probably the most beautiful area of the New Brunswick area campuses.
Obviously, I did not say ALL, nor did I claim to be to those schools. Was thinking Nebraska, Iowa, Penn State, etc. Maybe you should have included Northwestern and a few others.
I'd say do both. I mean they're so close you could do both in the same night. I love New Brunswick and it certainly has some nice establishments and has a lot to do. I think visitors should definitely spend a night exploring New Brunswick and what it has to offer.
When you put it this way...it does make perfect sense.
It's what we do.
As others have suggested stay at the Jersey Shore. Ocean Place in Long Branch is a good choice and you are only about 30 mins from Stadium. They are next to Pier Village which has bars / food venues and right on the ocean. Jersey wherever you stay will be a unique experience for you folks. The people here are "interesting" to say the least.
Of course Ann Arbor is a nicer town than East Lansing. But I can't imagine any Spartan telling visitors to leave the Banks of the Red Cedar and visiting the land that Bo built.
Yes it is. Might check it out this weekend. Quite the transformation, and only $125/night in September.
