<p>oldinjersey, Your reason for concern was one of the reasons that my son did not even apply, and we never even looked at RU. 2 good friends of mine have sophomores there now. Both are very happy. One comes from a large hs in a foreign country so this was an easy transition (he has been in large classes), and the other comes from a very, very small private hs. Both students are doing well. My S opted for an OOS public that is half the size of Rutgers. We know a recent graduate who told us about a few classes with over 300 students.</p>
<p>I share your concern for my younger son as well, and I will probably check out our smaller state schools over nationally recognized RU for this reason. I prefer a student focused institution to a research based institutution for an undergraduate anyway.</p>
