Starting Rutgers Newark night program Sept. 06

[jsh26]

I work full time, and will be starting the part-time program this coming September. I now it's going to be difficult, but I'm wondering if anyone out there has had a similar experience. What can I expect?

[RM]

I will be starting in August as well. I won't be working though, at least not full time!
You looking forward to it?

[jsh26]

Most definitely, though I wish I could get it started sooner. Gonna be one hell of a schedule.

[RM]

Where are you going to be working? NYC? In NJ?

[jsh26]

I work in Franklin Lakes, NJ, and live in Bloomfield. At least the commute won't be terrible.

[RM]

That's actually very good!
Can you suggest some good areas to live around there? I'm looking for a good place, preferably an apartment complex...

Wish I could help, but I'm pretty new around here myself. Just moved out of Manhattan not long ago and I'm still feeling my way around.

[RM]

Ah! Must have been some adjustment moving from NYC!
You plan to attend the open house and the group meetings?

Good luck!  I'm currently a 1L day student at Rutgers Newark and I'm sure you're going to love it.  Although the day and evening students don't get too many opportunities to interact in the first year, please feel free to get in touch with me if you have any questions, whether its about classes, Newark, the area, or anything else about school in general.  Rutgers Newark is a great school and I'm sure you're gonna love it.

Where do you live? Can you recommend good places around Newark? Or even ones with a 30 min commute?
