It was such a special day. I highly recommend it if you can swing it. Here is how our day went. We arrived at the Trenton train station at about 10:00 AM and took an Uber to the TESU campus to take photos under the TESU arch (located at 111 W State St). The Uber waited for us and then took us to the Cure Insurance Arena. This cost about $35 for 5 of us traveling together. It is my favorite photo of the day. We arrived at the arena just as the doors were opening. We were among the first to check in and first in line for pinning and photos. The professional photographers took individual photos and photos with family. We then went to pick out seats and were first in line for food at the concession stand. About the time we finished all of this, the crowds started to show up and long lines were formed for all of the activities we breezed through. At about 1:00 graduates were lined up by school and a large group photo was taken. (Tip: Use the bathroom before lining up for the photo, and bring a water bottle because once you sit for the photo you are stuck there until you march in for the ceremony. 3 hours!) The ceremony ended right at 4:00 like they promised. We then took an Uber to an Italian restaurant in a neighboring town and then back to Trenton train station for our 7:00 PM train.
Also- Register for commencement even if you think you might not go. Last year (2018) we received our cap, gown, and hood in the mail a few weeks before the event. These are included in the graduation fee you already paid. If you register for commencement you will get yours in the mail even if you can't go to Trenton for the ceremony.
