<p>I originally posted yesterday...thought I should add more today, but for some reason my old account wasn't working so I had to use my brothers old one. </p>
<p>I narrowed my choices down to rutgers, tcnj, and udel. I'm down to the wire and can't decide between the three. I want to study civil engineering, although it could change. My brother is a business major at udel and loves it. I really like the campus and dorms at udel and my brother has said good things about the professors. TCNJ is also a great campus, but much smaller, meaning more facetime with professors (but my brother says he never has problems meeting with professors at udel). Rutgers of course is huge and has no real central campus.</p>
<p>Does anyone have an opinion on which school as the best reputation for engineering and the best opportunities for research etc.? Overall, which do you think will provide the best experience? By the way, all three colleges would be about the same price for me because I got $7,000 from udel and $2,000 at Rutgers. Also, I got into the Honors College at Rutgers. </p>
<p>i felt bad cuz there arent any replies here..</p>
<p>Well honestly the answer is gonna depend on which board you post this thread.. if this thread was on Udel forum they'd say Udel, and if tcnj, then people would say, tcnj. lol..</p>
<p>i dont really know much about civil engineering but the reason i chose rutgers over other schools was its size. BIG school means A LOT OF opportunities to me. Coming from a very small highschool, i know what it is like to be in a school where there arent many e.cs and activities. It really killed my college app. </p>
<p>I dont know about UDel but Rutgers definitely beats tcnj by name value and that is kinda important when you look for jobs. It is also a solid fact that bigger school offers more opportunities and activities that would not only make your resume look good, but also allow you to explore more in life.</p>
<p>Rutgers is also a huge research school....</p>
<p>And since you got into honors college..it will definitely enhance the academic environment and the amount of care you will be getting from the U. so I'd say Rutgers :D but then i dont know much about any other colleges..:(</p>
<p>Go to Rutgers! Check out Highland Park, just across the bridge on 27. Nice town, much cleaner nicer off campus housing, and the Rutgers bus loop picks up, plus you can walk across the bridge to the College Ave campus and take your classes on that campus.</p>
<p>Rutgers is wonderful and who says a school needs a central campus. Also it has the name recognition that the other two schools cannot even dream of</p>
