The College of New Jersey

What are the popular events and traditions at The College of New Jersey?

Homecoming, Spirit Week, and Funival are among TCNJ's reported campus events. Their schedules and activities can change, but each offers a different occasion for students to gather outside class.

Homecoming connects current students with alumni and commonly centers on campus activities and athletics. Spirit Week brings themed programming around a shared campus occasion. Funival is a student-focused carnival-style event. Students interested in attending or helping organize these events should use the current campus calendar for dates, access rules, and details rather than rely on a past year's program.

What are the student housing and dining options at The College of New Jersey?

TCNJ offers college-operated undergraduate housing, including coeducational options, and campus dining plans. Housing is available, but an applicant should not assume a particular building, room type, or placement without reviewing the current housing process.

Residence-hall options and eligibility can vary by class year; students should compare the current housing application, deadlines, and contract terms with their academic plans. Reported housing features include high-speed internet access. Meal-plan requirements and dining access can differ for residents and commuters, so students should compare the plan attached to a housing assignment with how often they expect to eat on campus. Students considering off-campus housing should account for lease terms, transportation, and whether a car is practical: first-year students are reported not to be permitted to register or park a car on campus.
