New Jersey is a state that is commonly mistaken for being a garbage dump or polluted city. The only parts of New Jersey that even resemble these likings are in the city areas, such as North Jersey, Trenton, Camden, and Newark. 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.

New Jersey is the suburban wasteland stretching between New York City and Philadelphia. Its lights twinkle anticlimactically across the Hudson from Morningside Heights. 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.

New Jersey also cradles darkest Princeton.

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
  • Trenton - the Governor works here, but would never want to live in it
