Even if you get stuck at Maxson it's a good jumping off point to other NJ schools. Plainfield has a very high teacher turnover rate and makes licensing and onboarding a breeze. Pro-Tip: Start looking at better school districts on the first day of work. Good luck.

Are you at MetLife by any chance? That’s where I’ll be and I plan on staying at St Elizabeth’s University in Morristown.

You may have better luck in Piscataway as Rutgers University is a huge presence there. Tons of students - undergraduate and graduate - rent there. Which means complexes may be more flexible on the student loan thing. Good luck and welcome to NJ!!!

They were great with my claim and were sending a dividend at the end of each year. NOt sure if they will after my claim.

I didn't say you couldn't walk there. I simply said there are no sidewalks. I live here I'm aware of the area.

Just switched back to NJM from Geico actually! My family had NJM growing up, they were amazing to work with even as a household with a bunch of teenagers collecting tickets and accidents every year. At least as far as we were concerned they were always responsive and on top of things. We actually managed to have two at-fault incidents almost back to back, one with a ticket, and they paid out for both and didn't even raise our rates.
I had to switch to Geico when I moved to NY, Geico was fine but very like cold. No complaints, it just always seemed like whenever I needed something I was just a ticket in a call center. All my dealings with them were through the app, and they seemed a lot more rigid. For instance we had a crack in our windshield, and Geico had to replace it twice. The first time they used cheap off-brand glass and it messed up our car's auto-driving camera stuff, but they wouldn't let us get an OEM windshield until they'd installed one and it failed.
I have no idea if this is still the case, since when we first had NJM it was before it was open to everyone, but you used to even get a dividend every year because they considered policy members shareholders. I definitely felt like every time we interacted with them it was way more of a "member" experience not a "customer" experience. I just moved back to NJ and I switched back to them. I know it's all a subjective experience but I always felt more secure with them than with Geico, which to be fair is like the entire thing you're buying with insurance.

People in my household get mail from those people every week. It goes right in the trash.

Manufacturers used to be a private company/invite only company, that would pay out great dividends at year end, with absolutely fantastic customer service. Now theyre open to anyone, and it seems like customer service has slipped and people are unhappy.

Thank you! I can’t tell you how excited I am. It has been my dream to leave the south since I was 17, and I am finally making it happen! I have visited New Jersey a few times and absolutely love it.

As NJM expands beyond NJ I wonder if all the good things will continue but yes they are wonderful and well priced.

Not nearly as edgy as quoting a 30 year old song by a Sony recording artist.

Check realtor.com. Look under rentals in the towns that interest you and look for one off condos or multi-family homes, rather than large corporate owned apartments.
Having steady employment, good credit, and no eviction history will make you a desirable candidate.
