==Campus life==

===Residence halls===

First-year students at TCNJ are either given a room assignment in Travers/Wolfe Tower, Centennial Hall, or any empty rooms in the Allen/Brewster/Ely Complex. Second-year students live in New Residence, Allen Hall, Brewster Hall, Ely Hall, Norsworthy Hall, Eickhoff Hall, Cromwell Hall, and Decker Hall. There are currently plans to construct another building specifically for second-year housing. Upperclassmen typically live in Townhouses South, East or West, or in one of the two newly constructed apartment complexes; Phelps Hall and Hausdoerffer Hall. Upperclassmen may also live in one of the various College Houses that surround the campus. While 95 percent of first-year students live on campus, only 50 percent of upperclassmen live on campus, instead choosing to live in homes and apartments surrounding the college.<ref>TCNJ Housing.

===Entrepreneurship===

[[File:GreenHallClockTower.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Green Hall Clock Tower]]

In the mid-2000s, TCNJ began to put a more concentrated effort on student entrepreneurship. Administrative resources were put toward counselling and workshops for students. The Mayo Business Plan Competition in April 2012 saw numerous student groups competing for $12,000 to launch their start-up businesses. The school has also held entrepreneurship events for local high school students.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tcnjmagazine.com/?p=5379|title=$ocial network|author=TCNJ's editorial staff|access-date=29 May 2015|archive-date=May 30, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150530002743/http://www.tcnjmagazine.com/?p=5379|url-status=live}}</ref>

The Brower Student Center (BSC) is the student center on campus. The BSC was originally built in 1976, and has continued to serve the students through the present day. The Brower Student Center seeks to provide on-campus activities for all the students of TCNJ as well as maintain partnerships within the community that accentuate the student and community experience. A game room is also located in the student center, complete with multiple pool tables, TVs with [[Nintendo]] [[Wii]]s connected, ping pong, and other games.

The building is home to all of the student organizations on campus, as well as the dining facilities that are run by [[Sodexo]] Incorporated. Most recognized student organizations have an office or storage locker. The following organizations have an office located on the second floor of the student center: Black Student Union, Women's Center, PRISM, Asian American Association, Union Latina, Inter Greek Council, Student Government, College Union Board, and Student Finance Board.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Floor Plans {{!}} Student Life |url=https://studentlife.tcnj.edu/about/brower-student-center/floor-plans/ |access-date=2024-04-05 |language=en-US |archive-date=April 5, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240405235338/https://studentlife.tcnj.edu/about/brower-student-center/floor-plans/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

The building was named after former president Clayton R. Brower, who served as president during the time that TCNJ was referred to as Trenton State College. His wife, Dorothy Brower, was an active volunteer in the surrounding community.

The Signal has been The College of New Jersey's student-run newspaper since 1855. It has won numerous awards, and has placed first many times in the General Excellence category (the highest category) for collegiate news publications at the New Jersey Press Association awards. The Signal is run almost entirely out of their office located on AIMM's second floor.

TCNJ Magazine is another publication, covering both current campus life and alumni affairs. The Perspective, an openly left-leaning student news booklet, is the school's newest publication having been first published in 2009. The Perspective received funding from the Student Finance Board, but so far has no established publishing schedule (as opposed to other campus publications). On the literary side, ''The Lion's Eye'' and ''The Siren'' are both student-made magazines filled with poetry, prose and artwork by students. The Seal was TCNJ's yearbook since its first publication in 1911. However, following the 2017 edition, the publication and student organization were discontinued due to low demand and incumbent debt.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.tcnjsignal.net/2018/02/06/yearbooks-fate-sealed/|title=Yearbook's fate sealed|date=2018-02-06|work=The Signal|access-date=2018-04-28|language=en-US|archive-date=October 7, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191007155307/http://www.tcnjsignal.net/2018/02/06/yearbooks-fate-sealed/|url-status=live}}</ref>

The women's field hockey team has won 10 Division III crowns in 14 championship appearances (both twice as many as any other school).

The [[track and field]] teams have also dominated the New Jersey Athletic Conference. Since the NJAC title was first contested in 1997, TCNJ has won the title — both indoor and outdoor — each year.

The main athletic facility, Lions Stadium, holds 6,000 spectators and is home to the [[College football|football]], [[field hockey]], [[College lacrosse|lacrosse]], and [[intramural]] teams. The stadium opened in the fall of 1984 and featured the first North American installation of [[AstroTurf]]'s vertical-drainage system.
