I've lived in New Jersey for most of my life and overall it's actually a pretty nice place. Where I live anyways. I live in the northern part of New Jersey in a suburban town that borders New York state. The crime rate is very low and it's one of the richest places in the country. A lot of Korean immigrants around here, including me and my family.

That's my New Jersey. But it's certainly not representative of the rest of the state. I think New Jersey's pretty nice but I know others don't share my opinion. When you hear New Jersey, what do you think? Has Jersey Shore affected your image of it?

The Devils are a great team, and Kevin Smith's movies are amazing. =3

Other than that, New Jersey blows.

I think of Sopranos when someone says New Jersey, but I think that's a different New Jersey.

I've always heard bad things about Jersey. I've bad things about it on Simpsons, Robot Chicken, Ninja Turtles...

I have no idea how it is, but so many make it sound like a crap hole. :lol:

I know some people call it the armpit of the USA. Something about a crap load of factories. Also, I think of Jersey Shore which I hate so much.

Jersey Shore...

and Boardwalk Empire. I guess the awesomeness of Boardwalk Empire cancels out the lameness of Jersey Shore.

my feelings towards New Jersey is neutral, because Boardwalk Empire's awesomeness cancels out Jersey Shore's suckiness.

My dad was born and raised in New Jersey, so the majority of his side of the family lives there or in that area. He grew up in a small old town in South Jersey that's close to Philly. I always enjoy it a lot when we go over there for visits. It's quite different from where I live. I've explored some of North Jersey as well, but I must say that I prefer South Jersey with its Philly influence. ;) Overall I think good things about NJ. I've really enjoyed my time there. I actually want to move to the area someday, though I think I'd rather live in Philly.

I grew up there. If you're rich, its a great place. Lots of stuff to do and great public schools. Its just outrageously expensive, crowed and aggressive. I'm glad I grew up there because I feel like I've experienced more and I'm smarter than the yokels I've met in Pittsburgh and NC. If I had the money, I'd be there right now, but experiencing all of the negatives with none of the positives was not worth it. Commuting also sucked (I think I would have killed myself had I been commuting when Governor Morbidly Obese cancelled the tunnel project).

As i replied to the last person who said that, my view of the show is from South Park, i've never seen the actual show.. And everyone from Jersey were portrayed like that show in South Park, so by saying that show is what comes to mind, i mean that image of the people in the show, as shown in South Park

The people on South Park and Jersey Shore are guineas. Not everyone in NJ is a grease ball Italian.

Yeah, but that doesn't stop people from stereotyping.
