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
