Rutgers New Brunswick vs. NJIT

College Search & Selection
1

Hello.
I’m in a dilemma right now. I got accepted from Rugters Sch.of Arts and Sciences and (Undeclared major) and NJIT (Business Information Systems).
Rutgers had a problem with my Social Security Number and hopefully it’ll be resolved before May 1st (I didn’t receive financial aid offer, yet.).
On the other side, NJIT is giving me more scholarship than its tuition. (Tuition: $17k, scholarship including federal-state grant: $20k).
For both colleges I’ll be commuting. Rutgers is a 25 minute train ride away and NJIT is 45 mins away, with the direct train in the morning.

What do you guys recommend? I’d like to hear from people other than my counselor and teachers.
Also do you think it might be a good idea to transfer to somewhere better than NJIT after my 2nd year?
Thanks

Undeclared in SAS at Rutgers vs. Business info systems at NJIT are 2 very different things. What’s your goal ? You can always transfer as long as you can afford the new university. Keep in mind not all credits will transfer and scholarships etc. are usually for entering freshmen
