Any NJCU grads or current students?

Hi,

I'm considering applying to NJCU's accelerated nursing program, but have some concerns about the safety of the area and the lack of doctorally prepared faculty. I'm mostly interested in attending a research institute (but UMDNJ or Rutgers), but NJCU has fewer requirements than some of the other programs I'm looking at and I'll be able to finish at NJCU sooner than other schools.

I would love to hear from current or previous students about the quality of the program as well as the safety of the area. When I got off the Light Rail and when I returned to the stop after my campus visit, there were a number of questionable characters lurking there, so I have some reservations about that, since I'll be traveling to campus via the Light Rail.

Anyway, I'd love any feedback about the program. I've read through the previous threads, but there's not a substantial amount of info.

Thanks!
