A new age for the clubs and the University: Cottage

The University Cottage Club enthusiastically supports the University's decisions to increase grants for all students who receive financial aid and to provide all juniors and seniors on financial aid with sufficient support to enable them to cover the average cost of membership in an eating club.

I'm from New Jersey, and I love this state. Many of my fellow peers, however, love to rip on New Jersey, quickly dismissing my home state as "the armpit of America." They constantly whine about the fact that Jersey drivers are incompetent and are so lazy that they don't even pump their own gas.
