I had a phenomenal experience at Rutgers-NB and wouldn't trade it for the world, or that acceptance to NYU. Your experience depends solely on you and what YOU make of it. Phenomenal resources, libraries, huge cafeterias, (dorms are lousy, but hey they're dorms!), DIVERSITY, recreational sports, huge gym facilities with everything available to you (basketball, swimming, racquetball, even golf). At a university of over 30,000 students across two towns--New Brunswick & Piscataway--I was able to meet with my Dean all the time, had access to the learning centers, talked to my professors (the sane ones at least), and took advantage of all the free services provided by Rutgers. The New Brunswick area has a lot to do, from dining to bars and sports stuff, trails, and you're only a 45 min ride from New York City (or you could go to Philly if you prefer). I ended up working for the University for a while, and I got to see the behind the scenes perspective and administrators work their butt off and really care. People generally tend to be pretty lax and down-to-earth at Rutgers--which I loved. It's a wholesome school, with a great education, access, environment, etc. Though the Psych dept, needs a transformation or two... the History/Philosophy departments are great. As is the Political Science dept. A lot of that has to be with faculty bias and where the money and attention goes. But carpe diem and make the best of where ever you go!
