<p>Can someone please compare these two schools? I've done extensive research on Rutgers New Brunswick and have been accepted to SAS, but I have just today started looking at William Paterson.
I'd like some input please.</p>
<p>Thank you all,
Joie.</p>
<p>William Patterson is two tiers down from Rutgers. Its graduation rates are really low, compared to Rutgers.</p>

<p>I feel that Rutgers is the clear choice, unless there is something very special about a particular feature/department at William Paterson or if you have some issue with going to a large school. </p>
<p>In my opinion, Rutgers should be considered one of the top 10 public schools in the nation and one of the top 50 schools overall. All of the academics should be top tier.</p>
<p>Rutgers is far superior to WPU. In NJ, the order of the public unis in terms of quality and prestige goes something like this:</p>
<p>Rutgers NB
TCNJ
NJIT, Rowan
Rutgers branch campuses
Montclair State
…
William Paterson</p>
<p>The only reason I was considering William Paterson was so that I would be able, when choosing my major, to have the option of the Music Management program. But the more I think about it the more I really think that I’m going to study Psychology. Rutgers does have a really good Psych program.
Thank you for your input, I’m not even going to apply to William Paterson. There really is no reason to I suppose.</p>
<p>Thank you again,
Joie.</p>
<p>WPU is way better than Rutgers’</p>
