<p>Accepted to both schools for Mechanical Engineering.</p>
<p>TCNJ has great ratings and is a bit smaller.</p>
<p>Cost: TCNJ offering 4k off their 35 annually, Rowan offering 20k off their 34k annually.</p>
<p>Does the price make it a "no-brainer"?</p>
<p>I would love some thoughts from people on both schools (Especially if they know the Engineering schools)</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Four year total of $124,000 (TCNJ) versus $56,000 (Rowan), assuming those are grants (not loans) that you are referring to.</p>
<p>Are any of the grants contingent on college GPA or other factors?</p>
<p>All are contingent on a 3.0 average</p>
<p>From an admittedly non-local vantage point, there does not seem to be any strong reason to spend $68,000 more for one over the other. Do you see any significant differences between the schools besides the price?</p>
<p>I really like the atmosphere at TCNJ, but if you were my kid, I’d push for you to attend Rowan. I believe they have a stronger Engineering program and last time I visited, the lab equipment was better.</p>
<p>Go with Rowan</p>
<p>Yes, Rowan has a great reputation for engineering…</p>
<p>Both sound great. Its a win-win.</p>
