Ramapo or Rutgers?

I’ve been reading a lot about my colleges and I cannot decide where to go. I’ve been reading really bad things about Ramapo lately and Rutgers is my next choice. My issue is that Rutgers is very close to where I live and a lot of people I know go there. I’m afraid it will be too much like high school and boring. While at Ramapo I feel like I wont get the education I need and will be discriminated. Help?
