When I was choosing where to study in the States, I looked at so many different options. Massachusetts, Tennessee, Arizona, Illinois, even Toronto and so far as Australia!
But I ultimately decided on New Jersey as it was a well reputable university and the 15th oldest in the whole of the States. It had a very good success rate for my course and the location was close to perfect.
I stumbled across this book and it explains all about the town of NB and the now-famous punk & hardcore underground music scene that grew massively there in the late 80s/early 90s, mentioning bands such as Bouncing Souls, Lifetime & Midtown. It heavily mentions the university I will be going to as the author went there himself. It talks about local college shows and college bands and small local shows. This is exactly what I'd love to go to. New Jersey has been famous for its crowds & its good music scene so I thought it would be the best place for me.
Not to mention its amazing location!
Just 45 minutes away from NEW YORK CITY! What more could you want?! And very close to Philadelphia also.
