wikipedia is perfectly fine for internet forum usage, this is not a PRJ..., plus majority of wikipedia IS sourced.

damn... we can't use ANY encyclopedias for my research papers as they also have bias sometimes.

I'm doing my Masters right now, and we can only use books and scholarly articles from the college's database.

Haven't really chosen any concentration yet. Right now it's Liberal arts, but I need to narrow it down to a specific topic in Education.

That's how it was for me in grad school as well. As a matter of fact, I can't remember anytime in my college career, undergrad OR grad, that I was allowed to use an encyclopedia as a source. It was primary literature (peer-reviewed journal articles, etc.) all day for me.

Whenever I had to do a paper, wikipedia wasn't "illegal", but most professors discouraged students from using it.

Back to New Jersey. More people pick New Jersey over South Carolina because there is more to do. Yes, NJ and SC have beaches and mountains. New Jersey also has many urban areas with alot of stuff to do.
The city of Newark has an interesting distinction: The first Karate Kid movie was filmed partially in Newark(the first part of it).
