Drew vs. Rutgers vs. TCNJ

<p>Hey Y'all :)
So I am trying to decide between:
1) Drew University in Madison, NJ
2) Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ [A&S, business]
3) The College of New Jersey in Ewing, NJ
As my top safety school!</p>

<p>I would appreciate any feedback from current students or any admitted students planning on attending.
I was already admitted to all three schools.
Which school is generally better if i plan on doing theater and/or journalism and pre-law?
I know they are random, but I think I want to double major in the first two and minor in poli.sci. as of now.
(I would love to work on Bway, but if not Journalism or Law as backups. Which of these three schools are best for this? I know Drew's Theater is most reputable, but is that for Major or EC?)
In Rutgers I got into Arts and Sciences and the Business School
Also, size is not a matter for me (idk large or small)</p>

<p>As far as all of these go, what is your recommendation for me and why?
Thanks alot</p>

<p>Drew is a private school and I have dealt with both private and Public and believe you get a better education in a private school. Generally the profs seem to care more etc. Drew has one of the best theater programs in the country. Always rated in the top 3. Getting back to the other schools. Rutgers is very large. TCNJ is a very good school, but still public. They market themselves very well. Drew is private, small, but not the vast array of majors like the other schools. To sum it up, no one school guarantees you a job. It depends on what you are really looking for in a school!!!</p>

<p>Thanks!
Also, I heard you get a response about the Honors Program when you receive your admissions invitation, but I haven’t heard.
I got a 33 ACT, ~90 GPA (all honors/AP elite hs), lots of ECs, >500 comm.service hours…
Do you know why this could be? Wouldn’t I qualify?</p>

<p>I am a current student at Drew University and I work in both the financial aid department and admissions. I am almost positive that no one has received notification of being accepted into the Honors Program. I know that I did not find out about my acceptance into the program last year with my financial aid package. They send out a seperate letter for that. Dont worry too much yet. =)</p>

<p>Thanks tennischick09; I called admissions last week and told me they would pass my information on to the Honors Program and get back to me shortly. Thank you! Also; do you know when financial aid information should come? I got a scholarship, but I mean from the FAFSA.</p>

<p>I am not sure right now, but I can check when I go to work on Monday and let you know…until then =)</p>
