Upsala College, Well the time has come to start looking at colleges so I can prepare myself for the world of business. well the first place i have started looking into are my dads old colleges, he graduated from 2 seperate colleges, Upsala in South Orange and Fareligh dickenson in Madison. during the dickenson open house last week, i asked my dad if we would be visiting Upsala college soon in order to prepare to possibly enroll, and he said he didn't know what had become of his old school and his old stomping grounds of the Bloomfield/South Orange area. but thanks to the internet I was able to deliver him the grave news of Upsala's fate, Upsala College was closed in 1995, abandoned and finally torn down in 2004. we decided to visit the area yesterday, so i could take some nice photos and he could pay his respects.
its not all bad news however since a few of the buildings were saved and restored and are now used by the local high school.
