My body shop told me that NJM is one of their two preferred insurance companies (along with MetLife) because NJM/MetLife don’t pressure the shop to use non-OEM or other cheaper parts/materials. I like knowing that my insurance company isn’t trying to save money at the expense of making things right.

I also had two claims within a couple of years (hit a deer, $12k in damages; car keyed, something like $2500) - I think my premium went up like $18/year.

I’m an NJM fan.

Considering more than half of NJIT students major in engineering, that’s a pretty big exception.

Engineering (consulting)

For what it’s worth, my experience in the workforce with graduates from both schools is exactly the opposite of this.

Man, I hate the Somerville circle. I go way out of my way to avoid it, unless I’m getting off at the very next exit.
