<p>What is Rutgers honors as opposed to regular Rutgers?</p>

704

<p>Hey bigu212-</p>

<p>I'm in the Rutgers College Honors Program. (I actually posted earlier on this thread last year :) )</p>

<p>Anyway, the Honors Program has a bunch of advantages. You can find out more info about the program here: <a href="http://rchonors.rutgers.edu%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://rchonors.rutgers.edu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>cuny honors college is EXTREMELY difficult to get into. i was waitlisted for baruch honors.</p>

<p>i know someone who turned down harvard and MIT for an INSTATE school</p>

707

<p>When I was visiting Tufts, I met a freshman who turned down Harvard to go to TU.</p>

708

<p>lol I read a post on this thread about someone being adamant about getting a FREE college education....</p>

<p>lol I must say that I agree. EDUCATION IS EDUCATION...especially with undergrad for pre-med. <that's what I'm doin</p>

<p>in general, diffferent colelges may give you a different experience with social life and people and connections you make but in the end, undergrad education pretty much common.</p>

<p>Therefore, I'm taking my full ride to Rutgers School of Engineering Honors Program over Hopkins, Tufts, Haverford, BU, Penn State, TCNJ.</p>

<p>go supermtt...lol just felt like saying that.</p>

709

<p>yo supermtt are you on facebook?</p>

<p>someone on my street turned down yale for georgia southern</p>

711

<p>Wow...unless it's financial, that guy blew it...and even so, if he got into Yale, couldn't he do GA Tech or UGA?</p>

<p>I turned down Cornell for University of Rochester simply for the size, though I am now starting to think that Rochester is just as prestigious, if not more, even though its reputation is not as great. I'm really happy with my decision :-]</p>

<p>My friend turned down UCLA for Temple, and it wasn't because of money. A kid in my AP english class turned down Northwestern for Eastern Michigan (he wants to be a doctor, needs to save money) I turned down Michigan State for Bowling Green, but they're about the same. A couple kids have turned down UofM for Michigan Tech. Last year a kid turned down UofM for Western Michigan, to distance himself from his parents. (My high school is 5 minutes outside of UofM)</p>

<p>Not that Temple is bad or anything...</p>

714

<p>Temple is a solid, underrated school, in my opinion.</p>

715

<p>I'm well aware. My dad is an Alumna and very well connected at Fox. I'll be there this summer for the B.L.A.
If I dont get into BU im goin there.</p>
