Answer 5 :
You're lucky. The northeast has some of the best colleges in the nation, and a lot of those are in the area in and around NJ. Some of the best ranked of these include: - Princeton (LOL) - NYU - Columbia - Yale - U Penn - Rutgers - Johns Hopkins - Carnegie Mellon - Lehigh - U Rochester - Rensselaer Polytechnic - Penn State - Syracuse - Yeshiva - U Maryland College Park - Fordham - U Conn - Villanova - Fairfield U - Loyola Maryland - College of New Jersey - Ithaca - Rochester Institute of Tech - Cooper Union - Bard College - Swarthmore - Haverford - Vassar - Wesleyan U (CT) - Colgate - Hamilton - West Point - Bryn Mawr - Barnard - Bucknell It's a long list, but you have a lot to choose from. In fact, there are *more*, but I've only picked those that tend to appear at the top of most national rankings lists, and which have a strong academic reputation. I also stuck to the immediate NJ area - NJ, NY, CT, PA, maybe the bordering states like MD. I didn't get far into New England, but that's very close as well, and there, you have a wealth, from BC and BU to Dartmouth to Colby to UMass Amherst. These are also broad colleges/universities, for the most part. If you want art schools, or music, or are looking for fashion design, or theater, or something specialized like that - ask a separate question.
Answer 6 :
You will have to check the biographies of the people who get married in the NJ papers. Does anyone ever graduate from either Princeton or Rutgers?? Ideally you want one that has a high graduation rate so YOU can graduate! GOOD LUCK!!!
