I go to Seton Hall (South Orange, next to Newark), but it's expensive. Dunno about Montclair.

I can tell you that rent is really NUTS up in North Jersey. Maybe you should go to Rider or Monmouth University, which is more south and less expensive to rent an apartment.

Montclair is a fairly upscale town and the rents tend to be high, as you've seen. Surrounding towns such as Verona, Caldwell, West Caldwell, Pine Brook and Bloomfield might have somewhat cheaper rents and are still within reasonable driving distance of Montclair State.

This is an expensive part of New Jersey. I don't live too far away from Montclair so if i can be of further help, let me know.

$700 - $800!! You should feel Lucky!

This is an expensive area. Might be a drive but i know of places in Kearny for like $500-$600. Not sure of availability, but i could find out if need be.

I lived in Montclair and still have family living there. $700-$800 is cheap. You'd want to see the place first for that price. Like goldstar and acibbg said, it's pricy. Maybe you can get lucky and get a killer deal in Montclair or a surrounding area such as Verona, West Orange, Cedar Grove or Bloomfield.

but rutgers has both at a couple of their campuses...would some of the more southern sites be cheaper? also, hoboken? that isn't real far from montclair is it? how much is rent there? fun? i like fun

In general, southern jersey is cheaper than Essex county (montclair).

Hoboken is right outide NYC making the city very accessible. NYC is the best! Hoboken is like 20 minutes without traffic to Montclair State but a disaster with.
