<p>im majoring in biological sciences and have been accepted to these 3 colleges, i was wondering which one is best for this major. also, i got into the uconn honors program and it would be cheaper to go there than rutgers, even though i am from nj (didnt receive any money at all from them).
ps does the lack of scholarships from ru sound strange, considering my stats?

<p>if you were accepted into a bio program at TCNJ i would definately go there. I got into both schools (although not for bio) and was planning on attending TCNJ before I heard from my early school. The TCNJ bio program is supposed to be quite good and quite competitive. For Rutgers, since my school did not rank, i did not automatically qualify for the honors program, but once you get in, you can apply for honors and with your stats it looks pretty good. I personally like TCNJ more based on school the school size, class size, and campus overall.</p>
<p>Deciding between a large school and a small school is one thing… by all means, go to TCNJ if that’s what you’re looking for.</p>
<p>However, if what you’re interested in is doing research in biology, Rutgers is the clear choice here. There are a ridiculous number of life sciences faculty at Rutgers and UMDNJ (same campus) that are doing cutting edge research and are interested in mentoring and working with undergraduates.</p>
<p>Don’t really understand why you would choose UConn if you’re an NJ resident, though.</p>
<p>If you’re the type of person that can see yourself taking advantage of the huge number of opportunities at a large school, you’ll love Rutgers.</p>
<p>RU is one of the better biosciences schools in the country. TCNJ is just a college.</p>
<p>im considering uconn b/c i got into the honors program there and i also was offered 12k to go there, so it would be cheaper than going to ru who offered me nothing and no honors…but i get what you are saying about research opportunities</p>
