A large selection of local and national newspapers and magazines are available. I enjoy this branch as the staff are extra friendly. They never make you feel awkward for extremelyyyyyyyy late books. More recently, they have an e-book borrowing system online for kindle and e-readers.

Having moved recently from New Jersey, I have come to appreciate the main branch of the Mercer…read moreCounty library system (in Lawrenceville, off route 1) even more. This is a terrific library. Here's why: 1. It has an excellent fiction section, including a generous selection of "classic" authors. I have been in libraries where the focus is on the latest hardback best-sellers. They have those here too, but they haven't seen fit to "weed" out the traditional titles that really every library should have. 2. In fact, their whole book collection is good--history, religion, art--and their children's section is extensive as well. 3. They are one of the few public libraries these days that keep a paper archive of magazines, and it's quite extensive. I think there must be a library director here who isn't "up to date" with the latest trends in library science, and the patrons reap the benefit. 4. They actually still have books on cassette tape (as well as on CD and playaway, of course). I have a cassette player; they have quality tapes. Seems simple, right? Again, there's no reason to "deaccession" good material when it might be useful to patrons. 5. They have a very strong collection of foreign and Criterion Collection DVDs--much appreciated. In sum, there's someone here who's made a lot of good decisions on how to run a library. Building's a tad shabby, but who cares? I wish the library where I live were this good.

I can't seem to understand why people complain about this school as often as they do. I did my…read moreBachelor's and Master's here and I had a good experience. The school was definitely generous in terms of scholarships, which is why I came here in the first place. I always earned really great grades, so they allowed me to take some Master's courses as an undergraduate instead of taking (and wasting money on) "filler" classes just to meet credit requirements, which I really appreciated. The tuition did rise yearly, however if you kept your GPA high you could apply for a "mini scholarship" that covered those costs and acted as a tuition freeze, so if you stayed on top of things you had potential to not be impacted by the raise. For undergrads, they have a really nice honors program (BHP) that I enjoyed a lot. You take 7 honors courses taught by professors from "conflicting" fields (like a neuroscientist and a classical music expert) and they're very eye opening and conducive to creative thinking. People say it's a suitcase school, but that's only true if you pack your suitcase up and decide to leave for the weekends. I stayed on the weekends, and although I had to plan a bit at times, I had no shortage of things to do. The school organizes things (like they took me rock climbing, white water rafting, to different sports events) so as long as you actually check your email and reach out to other students, you can be a part of things. There's nature trails in the area, and it's also close to a kayak rental place. I enjoyed all the nature and landscape here. Besides the organized events, of course there's still house parties and basement parties and all of those stereotypical college things going on if you're interested in those. I'm not saying the school is perfect, but no school is. Sometimes Rider does do somethings that are a bit silly. (For example, a few weeks after I graduated, I received an email asking if I had a large boat I'd be willing to donate to the school for an event ... what kind of recent college graduate has a large boat sitting around?!) But, I just laughed it off. If you're the kind of person who lets little issues and things like tarnish whole experiences, will you be happy at any school? So, I give the school 5 stars because I'm satisfied with the education I received. I worked hard, played hard, and left with the skills I need to succeed as a clinician.

Don't know much about the schools education system- but I was there for four days staying on campus…read morefor DMA (Drum major academy) and the buildings we were staying in were awful. We stayed in Lincoln Hall and Wright Hall, personally I was in Wright. There were silverfish in my room, bugs in my windows some dead on the floor when I arrived. The screen was partly broken, the showers had mold in the shower heads, there were dead bugs in the showers. I don't know how often the communal bathrooms were cleaned on each floor (or even if janitors skipped it because of there being a camp having to reside in the building) but the showers were never cleaned during our stay, there was hair stuck in the drain and toilet paper all over the floor. (Again don't know how often that's done so if it wasn't supposed to be done then ignore that). The school has water refill stations on each floor and the one on my floor was broken :( so we had to go down to the boys floor to refill or go into the school. I will say this next thing is a bit of a personal preference issue but there were no elevators- so you had to lug all of your stuff up 3 flights of stairs- which isn't bad but imagine moving into a dorm and having loads of things to carry. It's not efficient and a pain but it's tolerable. In the Dining hall the bathrooms were covered with toilet paper so it didn't seem they were checked all that often. The staff was great though always considerate and wanted to make sure you had everything. Overall I wouldn't want to go there again or choose to go to college there if those are my living conditions.

I bought my first book from you, ordered it by phone, paid it on the honor system when it arrived,…read morethe fact that the book was mine, was even more special. Paying cash, for a biography that you carry online. The book is entitled La Vita Lunga a Le, Long Life to You, Ennio and Gina's Love Story. It's about my parents, their history in Lawrence, Ewing, and Princeton, including their homeland of Italy. Their early years, their married years, their demise, their two restaurants, their life, their family, and their love for each other, to me worth reading, and cherishing. I hope everyone loves it as much as I loved writing it.
