<p>180K? What about financial aid?Unless your family are very wealthy you should get some financial aid...</p>
<p>If you're looking to go on to graduate school, it really isn't logical to put yourself in such debt voluntarily. I'm pre-med and chose Rutgers over more "prestigious" U's like Northwestern JHU and UVa. It's not worth the debt... I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get into a very good med school after graduating... at the very least, I don't think graduating from will Rutgers hurt me when applying later on.</p>
<p>I was a high school student in NJ at one point in my life too. (Read: I wanted to go to Rutgers like a hole in my head.) Everyone here loves it though, believe me. There are so many opportunities, you just need to be pro-active and take advantage of them.</p>
