@cakeisgreat Your tour comparison of Rowan and Rutgers is interesting. Compared to Rutgers, Rowan feels small to me–even though it’s not small–maybe because it’s all one walkable campus.
Interestingly, in terms of size Rowan didn’t feel much bigger than TCNJ, even though the student body is much larger. For some reason, TCNJ felt cramped to me; Rowan felt somewhat more spacious even though there aren’t a lot of open spaces.
We had he same experience of not a lot of talk about sciences outside of engineering, and the science building was not included in any of our tours. The exception was talk of the two medical schools. Friends who did visit the chemistry labs in the science building loved them. A friend’s son studied physics at Rowan and is now in a PhD program, so something is working, but it’s not talked about for some reason.
