<p>Trying to decide between Udel or Rutgers. Love Udel but I'm from NJ and Rutgers will cost so much less. Which is a better choice? Which has a better reputation that will help me get a job when I graduate?</p>
<p>i am having the same problem :(</p>
<p>What program are you interested in? Some are better at UD, others are better at Rutgers. Other than money, that should probably be your main concern. BTW I expect you will find an older thread discussing this since it is a common situation. I know there was someone here last year whose son was transferring from UD to Rutgers but that was because he was doing mechanical engineering (I think) and that was better at Rutgers.</p>
<p>Psychology.</p>
<p>Psychology might be split. If it was something like Chemical Engineering then you should go UD, but psych I think is more of a draw.</p>
<p>I went to UDEL for undergrad and am a grad student at Rutgers now. For undergrad if you go to Rutgers one thing to consider is how spread out the campus is. You have to use the buses to get from campus to campus and they can be pretty crowded especially in between classes. I also personally enjoyed how Delaware has Main St and the college town vibe. New Brunswick is a much larger place, although George St. for Rutgers is very similar to Main St for Delaware, so maybe its not so much of a difference. </p>
<p>As for academics, its not a bad idea to check out the relative strength of the two schools in the area that you believe you might major in. I wouldn’t get too worked up about that though, unless the difference is dramatic, as many students don’t end up majoring in what they thought they would going in, and the overall academic quality of the two schools seems similar to me. </p>
<p>I would really highly recommend both schools and I think its a great choice to have!</p>
