Congrats to all the students who have been admitted to the honors college. I have been impressed by what I have learned about the school and the students who are enrolled.
My D, like the other students I am sure, was admitted to more competitive schools. We are seriously looking at the honors college for financial reasons. I realize that the honors college is relatively new. My concern is the practicality of her getting a job at a Fortune 100 company, being admitted to a highly selective grad school and benefiting from the school’s reputation/network in opening doors. Aside from the general sentiment, “life/school is what you make it”, what did you factor into your decision? Were there any facts that came to your attention that persuaded you that Rutgers is fine (assuming your post-graduation plans align with my D’s).
Any thoughts you have would be most appreciated.
