<p>Hey, Im looking at going on a university exchange to either Rutgers or Stony Brook but cant decide!! Can anyone give advice for which is better in terms of location, social life, things to do on weekends and for the American university experience. Academics and price isnt too much of an issue. Thanks!</p>
<p>I think Rutgers is better. They have great social life, an hour away from NYC, in the center of town. You can do anything because it is in the middle of NJ.</p>
<p>I also agree that Rutgers is certainly better than stony Brook,specially if cost is not a constraint.Also Rutgers has a vibrant campus life with myraid student activities and clubs.</p>
