Cranberry Fest vs. R Factor

By popular vote, Cranberry Fest was the fan favorite! It's an event where a live band plays, there's beer and wine for students over 21, and numerous types of food to taste. Last year, they introduced Jamaican-style food. Not to mention, New Jersey's Number 1 college radio station, 107.7 The Bronc, played music, and had games and prizes for students to win!

Scream Screen vs. Maacness

While Maacness was extremely fun with AJ The Bronc dancing to Michael Jackson's Thriller, Scream Screen took the cake. One of 107.7 The Bronc's biggest events of the year, it starts with a two-hour-long "trunk or treat" where different organizations on campus give students candy, who doesn't love that?! In addition to free candy, there's plenty of foods to sample. Last year there was chili, pizza, ice cream and more! The best part of the night was the movie screen which was set up in the parking lot where students enjoyed a scary drive-in movie of their choosing through popular vote; fingers crossed this year's movie is "A Quiet Place!"

Eggcellent Egg Hunt vs. Crusin' for Commencement

Though Crusin' For Commencement is an event only seniors can participate in, where students submit a video of why they feel they deserve to win the car, seniors who voted in my poll, chose the egg hunt, probably because all can participate in the egg hunt. Eggcellent Egg Hunt is another one of 107.7 The Bronc's biggest events of the year, where thousands of eggs are placed on our campus mall, (green space). Every year one lucky winner picks the egg which contains $1,000! While chances are slim of winning the big prize, there are smaller prizes as well, like gift cards and coupons for local restaurants and hot spots!

Basketball games vs. Soccer games

BRONCS WIN AGAINST CANISIUS

I'll admit, I have not been to a soccer game yet at Rider, however, I have been to numerous basketball games, and the thrill is incredible. Rider's basketball team is Division 1, and we have been in the NCAA March Madness Tournament! Every game I've seen, the Broncs have won, and they were all very exciting close wins. Disclaimer, sorry for my voice crack in the video, I was so excited ;)

Fall concert vs. Homecoming

Rider may not have a football team, but their homecoming last year was exciting with food trucks, games, music, hot air balloon rides and MORE! Though homecoming didn't win the poll, it was still fun. However, the fall concert last year with Tinashe and A$AP Ferg. This event for me was unforgettable, especially since I was in the FRONT ROW!

Family Weekend vs. Ordinary Weekend

Though I don't live on campus, an ordinary weekend at Rider can consist of doing homework, meeting up with friends for lunch, grabbing Starbucks, going to the gym, etc. My family and I did attend family weekend last year, which takes place the first weekend of November. My family and I were even selected to play Family Feud, and we made it to the final round!
