ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. – One of the few bright spots among Atlantic City's brutal casino contraction — the conversation of a shuttered casino into a college campus — is on the verge of going dark.
Stockton University bought the former Showboat casino last year and planned to turn it into a satellite campus.
But an obscure 1988 legal covenant between the casino's former owner, Caesars Entertainment, and its next-door neighbor, the Trump Taj Mahal casino, appears to be thwarting those plans. link - ( New Window )
They were so desperate trying to get people to get people to to go the campus that they were offering 1 summer class for free if you purchased two. Looks like that deal is off.
The whole situation with the housing is now fucked here. People are going wild.
after the first year, I wanted out. Professors were not good except Prof Yitzak Sharon and my civil rights professor. The rest that I had did not even care to teach. Horrible school. Huge partying school. I had to stay for Sophomore year but I was soooo happy to get out.
We did however, hang at the showboat... used to go bowling there.
Either way... there's not much that I would think would draw students there. I should have gone to Rutgers at that time, when I had the chance.

Only shop in town if you want to live at home and commute. I own my house outright thagy i grew up in now and plus the north jersey kids come down here to "try something new" and stay in state. I just want to finish up because I stopped going in 09. I might get my master's degree here or some where's else. Yitzak is a legend.
Who the F thinks this is a good idea?

It just sounds like inviting trouble. But what do I know?
