It doesn't matter which college he enrolled in, it will be likely that he will have classes on most of them (including Douglass)
RU is a good school but there are a lot of things I found (uhm) interesting. Buses and parking come to mind (College ave campus doesn't really have parking...they say they do but not really). Depening upon his major he will end up having to take the bus (probably alot) between campuses and he may have to park at less populated lots (like BUSCH of Livingston). Not a problem but it is impossible to get from one class to another if they are back-back and located on different campuses (something to keep in mind). The phone-in/ online class registration it another weirdness (access to scheduling is based on year, GPA and some unkown other factors... WTF?) If he is unlucky he will have to battle for spaces in some popular classes event if he is at the top of his class. (All of this is lovingly known as the RU-screw... ) 
On the positive side, there are a ton of great resources on all campuses (make sure to talk to guidance administrators or student advisors to get the scoop - it will make dealing with some of the strange RU situations a little easier)
BTW:
To replace the legacy of Greasy Tony's RU has what they call the "Grease Trucks". I won't give too much of that secret away.
Good luck to your son at college (despite all of the weirdness it really is a great school) and tell him that if he has classes on Fridays then he is not paying enough attention when he signs up for classes....
I grew up in New Brunswick back in the days when it was known as "Little Harlem"
Beleive it or not. that downtown area was NOT the place you wanted to be at night back then.
ad there are places in that town where unless you have balls of steel or your crazy (like me) you dont want to be un armed.
Anyway. Back when I lived there Douglas was widely known for not only benig an all female school but also in have the worlds largest collection of UGLY women (with a capitol "UG")
Still that way?
Yea I've heard about the crazy class locations.
He will just have to improvise,adapt,overcome lol
I know all about the Grease Trucks. He has been hanging out around there on and off for over a year now (think he may have been tagging some of those RU women too)
Anyway. yes I've eaten a "Big fat B*tch" (Mods please dont edit. its the name of a sandwich for real and to call it anything else would be like calling Aces High, Pacman)
Pretty damn good sandwich too. But it still aint Greasy Tonys.
A true icon was gone when that place closed down
