<p>So I've been accepted to Rutgers NB and Rutgers Newark. For the newark campus I received a scholarship and was admitted to their Honors College. I'm very excited, and chances are i'm going to be attending the school come next fall.</p>
<p>I'm a little torn about the mixed comments I've heard about Rutgers Newark - that the neighborhood is bad/nothing to do outside of campus. Now while I will be pretty busy with my plans for future programs/med school - I do want to live in an area where, should i need a break, I can just go for a walk around the town/stop by a restaurant/go to the movies/mall or whatever without being worried or feeling unsafe.</p>
<p>I'm considering just attending NB because of its better reputation - not sure if they'll transfer my scholarship/seat in Honors College over. </p>
<p>I need some assurance as to what I should do/what the campus of Newark is like. I'm kind of a loner, not that I plan on not making friends, but I like to be secluded sometimes. So being part of a campus that's considered "trash" doesn't exactly quell my nerves.</p>
<p>Thanks for all feedback/response.</p>
<p>I suggest you make a visit to both campuses so you can get a feel for it:

<p>Most likely they won’t transfer your scholarship or seat in the Honors college over. If money is not an issue to you, go to New Brunswick, although I would be reluctant to give up that scholarship money considering that people here in New Brunswick rarely get anything now-a-days in terms of scholarship money. Only stupid loans with interest =</p>
<p>I hear that the Newark area doesn’t have too much going on, although there are restaurants. I don’t go there now, but will be transferring to Newark for the fall so I kind of want to hear more about the area as well. I mean, you have New York City a 20-minute train ride from there, but sometimes I don’t feel like venturing too far.</p>
<p>Yeah, about the loner thing, there could be cons and pros going to New Brunswick. For pro, you’ll be among a lot of people, so you are bound to make friends with people in clubs, class, and dorms. The con: you’ll be among a lot of people. It does get kind of lonely here on weekends. And a school of 40,000 can get a bit overwhelming at sometimes =</p>
