Seton Hall University

Photobucket
One of New Jersey's finest colleges is Seton Hall. Its 58-acre campus sprawls along South Orange's eastern border, only 14 miles from Manhattan. (NOT that that means you're into the city in 14 minutes; it does not. At any time of day! But we are nice and close here.)

The University has eight schools, over 60 majors and about 10,000 students. The athletic program is famous - particularly the basketball team (Go Pirates!) - and so is the radio station... though that may only be to local listeners of New York's WPLJ and their character, Mr. Joseph P. Nolan.
