"I love Rider’s small‑town‑near‑the‑city feel, how easy it is to get involved in clubs and Broncs sports while still having a close‑knit, professor‑heavy campus, but from a past‑student view I’ll say the limited nightlife, the split between commuters and residents, and the way the campus‑food variety can feel a bit thin were all more noticeable once I stopped visiting and started living there."
