New page

'''New Jersey''' is the suburban wasteland stretching between [[New York City]] and Philadelphia. Where it is not covered in strip malls, it is potentially toxic. It is nicknamed "the Garden State," which everyone already finds ironic, so don't think joking about it makes you original.

Many Columbia students come from here, the vast majority from Bergen County, a wealthy enclave (though not quite, perhaps, as wealthy as [[Westchester]]) in the northern part of the state.

==Major cities==
*Newark - car theft capital of the world
*Atlantic City - rundown, geriatric-infested version of Las Vegas
*Camden - per capita homicide capital of the East Coast

+Many Columbia students come from here, the vast majority from Bergen County, a wealthy enclave (though not quite, perhaps, as wealthy (and certainly not as [[WASP]]y) as [[Westchester]] or [[Connecticut]]) in the northern part of the state, or from the overachieving test-prep belt around Edison in the state's midsection. The southern part of the state is so culturally and environmentally stimulating that it has been dubbed "the barrens".
 New Jersey also cradles darkest [[Princeton]].

Other areas, such as the one surrounding Princeton, is a lovely and wealthy suburban area. New Jersey is known as the Garden State, not because it actually has gardens everywhere, but because there are many small farms in Southern Journey that look like little gardens from a helicopter. In reality, New Jersey is not an urban state, as it is mainly suburban and peaceful, unlike the campus of Columbia, where you could get shot or hit by a car at any minute.
