    Yes, it is quite possible to work part-time while studying at Ramapo College of New Jersey. The college indeed has several on-campus job opportunities—there are student aide positions and federal work-study options, too, which are all located in the vicinity. Also, being close to New York City, there is a wealth of off-campus job opportunities available to students seeking employment at retailers or hospitality industries. Hence, many students here find it quite easy to combine part-time jobs with their education, thus getting practical experience and earning additional money while studying.

RCNJ has an acceptance rate of 73% as per data curated from unofficial sources, which suggests, the institute accepts 73 applications for every 100 it receives.

Thus, it can be said that institute is selective, but to a limited extent. The University of Texas acceptance rate, however, is much lower than Ramapo's.

The institute is only known to accept about 29 applications for every 100 it receives, which makes it much harder to secure admissions at.
