    This may be a dumb question, but does TESC classrooms? I know they have campus of administrative offices, but do any of the buildings have classrooms, or are they entirely distance education?

    From the TESC website:

    Our campus consists of five main facilities: the Kelsey Building; the Townhouse Complex; the Academic Center; Canal Banks Building; and Kuser Mansion (home to The John S. Watson Institute for Public Policy).

    s a result of the College's growth in enrollment, in 1992 the College expanded into its newly renovated Academic Center.

    The Academic Center, located one block north of the Kelsey Building on Hanover Street, provides an appropriate environment for students to receive advising and counseling services.

    n January 2005, Thomas Edison State College, in conjunction with the state of New Jersey and Nexus Properties, Incorporated, embarked on the construction of a new 35,000 square foot facility to house Thomas Edison State College employees. The College took occupancy of the building in December 2005.

    The Canal Banks Building, the College's newest facility not only affords additional space to support Thomas Edison State College staff but also enhances the College's presence in Trenton and houses the technology required to provide high-quality learning opportunities to adults at a distance.

    Located less than one block west of the College's Academic Center on Hanover Street, the Canal Banks Building is situated alongside the historic Delaware and Raritan Canal. This new addition to the College's campus provides easy access for College employees, students, alumni and the general public who will be utilizing this facility.

    Today the Kelsey Building houses administrative offices for the College; it is recognized as one of the most important visual landmarks of the State House Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

    Not long after Thomas Edison State College opened its Academic Center in 1992, the College's continued growth prompted further expansion into a three-story historic home known as Kuser Mansion. Built in 1905, Kuser Mansion was the home of prominent businessman Rudolph V. Kuser and his family until 1943. The building, which is one of Trenton's few remaining turn-of-the-century mansions, represents the eclecticism of the period with distinctive design features including Georgian, Federal and Mediterranean.

    Kuser Mansion, which is located one block west of the Kelsey Building on West State Street, is home to The John S. Watson Institute for Public Policy.

    (They also have pictures of these facilities on their web site, under About Us)

    "There is no such as dumb question, only dumb people." Mr. Garrison (South Park). Yeah, I am sure they have traditional classroom was well as online.

    "Dumb people"? HOW DARE YOU?!? We prefer the term "Ignorant-Americans", if you don't mind!!!!!:D

    As a card carrying "Ignoramus" (as we nickname ourselves), I love Southpark. Great one-liners all around!

    Reading the same post though, I had a different impression. It looks to me (although they were pretty vague about it) as if all five buildings are some form of administrative offices, not a traditional classroom environment.

    Take care, Bro.

    That is correct. Thomas Edison State College has no classrooms. They are strictly DL.
