It is New Jersey's largest comprehensive university and the second largest educational institution in the state. Some of the Attractions in the NY/NJ Metropolitan Area: o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o---Atlantic City----o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o Probably the largest gambling-resort city in the world. It surpassed Las Vegas a long time ago. It is along the 120 mile NJ Boardwalk (along the Atlantic Ocean). Free buses travel to Atlantic City everyday stopping at Rt. 46 about a mile from MSU. Or you can stay at hotels in Atlantic City and make a single trip to MSU for the conference :-) Some hotel rates are as low as $35.00 per night. And, no, you do not have to gamble. Many people go there just for the shows. http://www.123atlanticcity.com/ http://www.citytravelguide.com/atlantic-city.htm For Public Transportation Info: http://www.njtransit.state.nj.us/mainterm.htm o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o--- Six Flags--Great Adventures: http://www.sixflags.com/wildsafari Six Flags Wild Safari, the world's largest drive-thru Safari outside Africa, features more than 1,200 animals from six continents roaming freely in the park. Get up close to zebras, elephants, rhinos, tigers on your 4.5 mile voyage. Have your camera ready when our curious giraffes and monkeys come right up to your car. For the schedule: http://www.sixflags.com/wildsafari/general/index.cfm?get_month=10&get_year=2000&x=10&y=8 o-o-o-o-oo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o--Manhattan (the heart of New York City, the Big Apple)--o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oo- Wall Street, World Trade Center (Twin Towers, 110 stories each), Greenwhich Village, East Village, and "Chinatown" are all downtown. You can take the train midtown to catch a Broadway Play. Or you can ride around in NYC, or take a ferry-ride around Manhattan. Or you can take the train to Hoboken (from MSU), taxi to several places along the NJ coast and then take the ferry to Manhattan instead of the train. There are ferry rides to the Statue of Liberty from downtown Manhattan. The NJ commuter train lines to NYC are about 50 yards from MSU.
