[11] Much of TCNJ is built in Georgian colonial revival architecture style on a 289-acre (117 ha) tree-lined campus.

Prior to this, then-Governor Rodman McCamley Price had actively promoted the notion of founding a training institute for New Jersey's teachers and helped to mobilize support among influential state leaders.

Beginning in 1925, the institution offered its first four-year baccalaureate degrees, and engaged in a transitional program of expansion.

In 1928, a suburban tract of 210 acres (85 ha) was purchased in nearby Ewing Township and preparations were underway to relocate the college.

In 1996, in a move spearheaded by its president, Harold Eickhoff, The College of New Jersey adopted its current name.

[17][18] The Campus Town complex has space to house 446 juniors and seniors in one-, two- and four-bedroom apartments.

Each apartment has a living room/dining area, separate bedrooms, one or two bathrooms depending upon the unit, a full kitchen with a dishwasher and a full-sized washer and dryer.

Other facilities include Panera, Jersey Mike's, a yogurt shop, sushi restaurant, convenience store and brewpub.

The collection detailing the life of NBC founder David Sarnoff is now located in Roscoe L. West Hall.

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.

However, following the 2017 edition, the publication and student organization were discontinued due to low demand and incumbent debt.

[27] Its studio and office are located in Kendall Hall and its content can be viewed online or on campus televisions on channel 2-2.

The station board includes six producers (sports, news, music, comedy, pop culture and game show) who film, direct and edit content both in studio and around the school's campus.

TCNJ's varsity teams are the top combined first- and second-place finishers of all 424 Division III schools in the nation over more than 25 years.

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 main athletic facility, Lions Stadium, holds 6,000 spectators and is home to the football, field hockey, 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.
