Rutgers Vs. University of Delaware?

<p>So I live in New Jersey and currently go to community college. I have alot of friends who go to Rutgers (At least 50 kids from my graduating class went to Rutgers). My Sister also graduated from there. I've been up there a few times, but not lately. I plan on visiting both soon.</p>

<p>BUT my problem is I will transfer after this year. I've been in Jersey for 20 years and honestly just want to get out of here. I want a change of scenery, a fresh start. Delaware was a school I found that looked pretty good. What is your impression of the school? It seems nice, I've never been there though? What do you think is a better school between Rutgers & UD? Rutgers is ranked higher in the rankings but the gap isn't so big so maybe they are on the same level?</p>

<p>A couple notes:
-I'm not a party guy
-I would like a place in a nice city, with things to do
-Nice weather would be preferred (I know what I'm getting with Jersey weather.)</p>

<p>Is Delaware far enough? A lot of NJ students go there. The weather is similar.</p>

<p>It’s a perfectly fine school. I know kids that go there and are happy. But you can be happy at a lot of places.</p>

<p>Both schools are similar in a lot of ways (they’re both known for being party schools haha), and of course they’re hugely different in a lot of ways too. Weather is going to be pretty much exactly the same, so if you wanted a big change, I don’t think UDel or Rutgers is for you. UDel isn’t very diverse in the type of people you’ll see (it’s pretty much all white) whereas Rutgers is full of so many different ethnicities; it depends on what you want. And also, the choice you’re making should also be very dependent on your major. Which school has the better program?</p>

<p>Also, Rutgers may have a program with your CC making the acceptance of your CC credits relatively easy for you. Also, in-state tuition would be cheaper.</p>

<p>Perhaps you look to get outside of NJ during a summer job/program or a junior year abroad or your first job?</p>
