Any ideas of places for me to visit while I am up there this weekend? I plan on seeing some of the main consititutional and revolutionary places while I am there, and finding Rocky's statue. Any suggestions on other places would be great.
Start here:

Have Fun!!! Stay Safe!
Do you know if Cherry Hill area is safe? Thats where my hotel room will be.
Cherry Hill isn't bad, just steer clear of Camden.
Oh no...I am going to do a campus visit for Rutgers-Camden while I am up there.
You will have to go through metal detectors for both venues and supposedly they do not allow even a pocket knofe, so disarm completely before entering.
Also do a google search on the Mutter Museum at the College of Physicians. Guarantee you will see some unique stuff there!
Ditto...Cherry Hill is fine!
Keep outta North Phila as well...
What's the occasion for your visit?
Dully noted...I have always wanted an original cheese-steak even if I heard it was terrible.
My brother went to Rutgers Law. Camden is like any other city where it has it's good parts and bad parts. Camden has a reputation for being a tough place but I'm sure it's just the reputation of the bad places.
What are your interests? Art? Food? Music? Good beer? Bad beer?
Have one for me. That looks TOO good.

Well I am interested in Rutgers-Camden Biomedical Program, so I want to do a campus visit.
Rutgers Camden is fine for locals/commuters...went ther myself. I definitely would not recommend it for dorm-living...Go to Rowan Univ...MUCH BETTER AREA!!! It's down in my neck of the woods too!
All of the above, lol.
I will actually only spend about a semester at Camden then I will spend my entire Seniror year, I think a full 12 months at Cooper Hospital.
Agreed, my sister did RutLaw too!
Caution: 2 blocks off campus in the wrong direction and there could be trouble. The campus is fine though. Perhaps THE nicest area in Camden.
In its favor, Camden does seem to be undergoing a bit of a renaissance. But they've been saying that for 25 years now... :-)
