<p>My college decision basically has come down to Rutgers NB (SASHP) and to Richard Stockton College (not sure if if i've been accepted to their honors program yet.)</p>

<p>i want to major in biology and do premed.</p>

<p>I have a full ride + board to stockton and have to pay about 12k a year for rutgers (still waiting on financial aid decision, bunch of road bumps came along the way.) I do believe that this amount will be cut when i receive my financial aid offer. Money is important but if one merits the extra cost than it can be worked out.</p>

<p>Can anyone give a good, as objective as possible position on this? I'll refrain from putting any personal opinions at this time as i don't want anyone's input to be swayed because of it.</p>

<p>ah in addition, i have TCNJ (possibly honors and approximately the same cost of rutgers) and Temple (Honors with about $5000 more a year than rutgers) to consider. </p>

<p>thx</p>

<p>I would go for the full ride at Stockton, unless you really don’t like it there. I know someone who majored in biology and was able to get into an Ivy for a postgraduate degree.</p>
