NJIT Honors vs. Rutger Newbrunswick

Colleges and Universities A-Z Rutgers University

<p>ok, I heard from people and looking at their website that NJIT offers really good aid that doesn't require amazing SAT scores like 2250+. I am pretty certain that I'll get ino the NJIT Honors College since they require a 1250+ for M +CR on SATs. I got a 1390 CR + M. I got into Rutgers University SAS already. I'm commuting, I would have to drive to Rutgers, but take a train to NJIT. i want to do go to medical school after.</p>

<p>but what worth going to: Rutgers New Brunswick SAS or NJIT Honors College w/ aid ranging from " $5000 per year up to full tuition, room, and board"? worth going to meaning I will have a great time(socially, and remember, I'm commuting) as well good academics?</p>

<p>Well I would think that Rutgers would have a bigger social atmosphere, so it might not be as hard to get involved in it if you were commuting. I’m not aware of NJIT at all though. But I would think that Rutgers would also have a better reputation that NJIT. Plus I think Rutgers has a program with UMDNJ? Not sure though. Haha sorry that was really vague but hopefully it helps!</p>

<p>NJIT is a terrible school.</p>

<p>haha @ everlastingwish, yeah jcdancer, i agree with the social aspect, but rutgers doesnt offer aid unless ur scores are good :confused: u guys think at 2020 SAT Superscore, 3.65 UW, and 4.9 W GPA w/ 5 AP classes is good enough for ANY rutgers scholarship or the SAS honors program???</p>

<p>I’m not sure, I think if you look on the Rutgers website it should say somewhere what your stats need to be to be in the Honors program.</p>

^Partial is around 1950 SAT and whatever they consider an ‘A-.’</p>

<p>as for specific honors programs…

</p>

<p>Yeah, I’m not even going to touch NJIT’s site, sorry.</p>

<p>njit is very small so it would be much harder to get the college experience. </p>

<p>here at rutgers, i actually know a lot commuters who make friends by visiting their friends’ or classmates’ dorm floors.</p>

<p>Well… seeing as you’re looking for an amazing social life, NJIT is not the place to go, I suppose. You can find things to do if you make the effort of course. But academically, it’s been fine so far, and moneywise, it’s amazing. They gave me a full ride and extras for books, transport, and miscellaneous costs that came back to me in nice reimbursement checks. If you got into the honors college, they might offer you a room and board scholarship, if you were planning to commute because of cost.</p>

<p>NJIT sucks, just saying. I know some people who go there, and they absolutely hate it. I know other people who go there who are complete arses and became such BECAUSE of NJIT. Rutgers > NJIT. (I live right by both of them. Rutgers kids are much more intelligent and much happier than NJIT kids, or at least, that’s how it appears to me).</p>

<p>ALSO; since you said you’re commuting. This kid who happens to be an arse is a commuter student, and (when we were on speaking terms!) he confided that he absolutely HATED commuting to NJIT because it was incredibly stressful.</p>
