Get out. Make friends. Meet people in NJ.

New to NJ

New to New Jersey. Just moved out east from the midwest for a job. Been a scary move but enjoying myself thus far. I came out here knowing no one so its been a little difficult meeting people. I hope to attend some events, although nervous to as well! Anyone new to New Jersey as well?

Rachel-
I would love to meet up sometime! I agree with the whole roller coaster ride, although my move out here has been great thus far. I have a bunch of friends that went to Kansas State. We should definitly get together sometime soon!

Hi Lauren! I just saw your post, I am also from Kansas! I went to Kansas State but I am orginally from SE Kansas. I moved out here about a year ago for a job opportunity. It has been a roller coaster ride so far, but it has also been a lot of fun! We should get together sometime and compare our notes on NJ life :)

Marie- Thanks for the reply, I have family that lives in Burlington, Iowa. Small world! Where in Bergen County do you live? I live in Morris County, Kinnelon/Butler area.

Hi Lauren! Welcome to Jersey :) I've been in Jersey since I was 7 years old (moved from the Philippines). A good friend of mine grew up in the midwest (Burlington, IA) and has been here for about 8 years now I believe. It's been quite an adjustment for her but she's doing well with her husband and 2 kids. I live in Bergen county but if you ever want to hang out, let me know :)

hi lauren! I'm fairly new to NJ as well, having moved from the midwest (Iowa) without knowing a soul! I also just joined NJYP in hopes of meeting new people so if you ever want to meet up, please feel free to reach out! I'll be attending my first official NJYP event on Thursday- the Morristown Happy Hour, so if you are available, you should definitely come out and we can meet up!
