<p>Is this a crap school?</p>
<p>Short answer: No.</p>
<p>Long answer: just because it is in NJ, people badmouth it. Seriously, NJIT is a great school, especially for engineering, and it gives a lot of scholarship money, provided you can get in. NJIT is considered one of top NJ students' "safeties"--a lot of people drop places like Cornell, Carnegie Mellon, and Rice because the scholarship is so good here and they know that they can get a real quality education. But it's important to see if the campus and environment is your style, just like at any college. If you're unhappy, it'll never work out.</p>
<p>my stepdad is the dean of students there, and knows ALOT about the school, although I don't know much about it. If you have any specific questions, pm me and I'll pass along the information</p>
