Rutgers or USF dilemma

College Search & Selection

<p>I have been admitted to my state school, Rutgers New Brunswick. I have also been admitted to the University of San Francisco. I want to study Media Broadcasting but I am having trouble deciding where to enroll. </p>

<p>Rutgers has given me practically no financial aid, just work study and loans. USF has given me a pretty generous package. At this point, USF is the cheaper school for me. However, it is very far away from home and I have never visited the school. I have visited Rutgers though, and I loved it.
Should I go to Rutgers for about $2000 more a year or go to USF, a lower ranked school that I haven't seen? Which is a better descision?</p>

<p>$2,000 more a year shouldn't determine your decision. USF is not a highly rated school, but it is in San Francisco, which is a nice (though extremely expensive) city. Travel/cost of living in SF will probably ding you $2,000/year I would bet...</p>

<p>Since you "loved" Rutgers, I think you should just go there. I wouldn't go to USF sight-unseen.</p>
