Anonymous asked: how do you join a sports team at Caldwell? do you have to be playing that sport throughout your high school years, or can you just try out in college and see if you make it??
It always helps if you have experience playing the sport. I’m pretty sure you just pay attention to when tryouts are and then you do it. There are certain intramural sports that aren’t as serious, but are just as fun.
Anonymous asked: how is the food on campus?? and are their any parties that go on at night around or on campus??
I’ve got a sensitive stomach, so I bring my food (but the pizza is great ;) ). But the food I’ve had, is usually really good, there’s only been a couple instances where something hasn’t sat right with me. As far as parties go, the campus is a dry campus and (some) RAs are really serious since accidents reflect badly on them, so I don’t think there are any really big parties. I know that a lot of students go to clubs on the weekends and usually take a bus to NYC or find something in Montclair or other towns close by. You have to keep your ears open and talk to people to find out when things go on. Caldwell tries its best to throw parties, but I’ve yet to go to any. People usually say they’re good, though. It all depends on what you’re looking for.
Anonymous asked: does caldwell college have a lot of school spirit? or does nobody go to any athletic games?
Caldwell tries. I know the basketball games are big and a lot of people go to them, but other sports are sometimes overlooked or not talked about at much. The baseball games also do well in terms of crowd support. Sometimes the mascot will walk around and try to get your support and such during the day, but not many people talk about sports here. I would post times and dates for the games, but they aren’t well advertised either it seems.
I think it’s more of a student activities problem than a school spirit problem.
Anonymous asked: I was wondering about the bus stop that is right outside the campus. What type of bus company (NJTransit, etc.) and how much it is round trip? I cant find ANY information on bus trips to NY but im extremely interested in taking weekly trips there!
The bus that comes most frequently is the nj transit 29 that goes to Newark. I know of one that goes to penn station but I’ve only seen it early in the morning. I’m not too sure when the 33 to New York comes because I hardly ever see it and I’m not sure how much it costs because I’ve never been on it. I tried looking it up and I’m either not looking hard enough, or it’s not there.
Hopefully one of the other followers might be able to give some more information about it?
Anonymous asked: what is the diversity like within the students at caldwell college?
I’d say it’s pretty broad. We get a lot of foreign students and there’s a good ratio in terms of races and cultures. Also, not everyone is catholic, I’m not. Even though it’s a catholic college, there’s also a wife variety of religions. It’s a pretty small campus so a place like Rutgers is, of course, more diverse but I’d say that we do pretty well considering.
Anonymous asked: is their an almost even ratio of guys to girls that attend caldwell college? and how is the social life on campus?
I see mostly women in my classes, but that’s because I’m an education major really. I think that the ratio is probably pretty even it just depends on who you hang out with. The social life differs if your commute compared to if you are a resident. As a commuter, I don’t go to any events because when I come home, I’m staying home and I’m not waiting four hours for an even to start. The residents have mixed feelings but really it’s all about what you do while you’re at school. There may not be a ton of things going on, but people still have a lot of fun with their friends on campus no matter what.
HAPPY LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL
Only finals after this, and then FREEDOM!
