I dropped out from Rutgers engineering program a few years back. It is not really that difficult. However, the classes are so big and do not require attendance. After a while, you may stop going to college completely, which is what I did. If you have good work ethics, and like bigger school, then Rutgers is great for you. TCNJ is not well known nationwide. However, I heard the quality of education at TCNJ is good, and it is very easy to approach your professors. I wish I went to community college first, then transferred there. However, it is too late for me to do that. I am currently a Rider student(with over 120 credits), tripling majoring finance, accounting, and business management. I haven’t work hard here, and my GPA is above 3.5. The school isn’t very challenging, and the average students aren’t very bright, and the campus life seems pretty boring for the part. However, the accounting program is pretty good. I heard they prepare you for the CPA, and they have connections with the Big 4. I would not recommend Rider unless you want to major in Accounting. If you want to go to school in NJ, go to Princeton if you can get in there. If you can’t get into Princeton, go to Rutgers if you like big schools, and you have great work ethic and self control. Go to TCNJ is you like smaller schools and establish closer relationships with your peers +professors. Go to Stevenson or NJIT for tech if you can’t get into the 3 school if you are doing tech. related majors. Go to Ramapo , maybe Seton Hall(if you like Catholic based college) if you do business other than accounting. Go to Rider for accounting. Fairleigh is decent for business as well. Go to Stockton if you want to go to AC a lot:) I hope these tips are helpful.</p>

<p>Fairleigh has a terrific study abroad program that makes this university a nice choice. The students spend a semester abroad in England at Wroxton College (google it - it’s is stunningly gorgeous). The school is housed in a 17th century Jacobean mansion. The cost of tuition and room and board is the same as at FDU. However the tuition also includes the cost of books (so no separate book fee) and many travel trips to towns in England, Scotland, Wales and France. </p>

<p>My son was accepted at Drew, but there were no travel abroad opportunities for students in his major.</p>

<p>You north jersey people ranking Richard Stockton at the bottom is criminal. It is a much better school than Montclair or William Paterson. It is without doubt in the top five when it comes to public colleges in the state. Also, it is # 1 when it comes to scenic campuses they have their own lake you can fish between classes. Plus, it is powered by geothermal. It is a unique school in the pine lands.</p>
