Take the full ride to Ramapo! It’s a great school, beautiful campus, best dorms in the state hands down, excellent nursing, business, computer science and education programs. Ramapos nursing program is already recognized on par with Rutgers and Tcnj. Sure TCNJ is a great school, but going there makes NO sense if you’re getting a free ride and Ramapo offers you the same major you want to study. Limiting debt and choosing a major where there will be jobs are the MOST important factors you can consider. The added “prestige” of going to Tcnj will wear off quickly as you struggle to pay the bill—— plus Ramapo College is no slouch and state legislators and the administration at the school already have plans underway to get further investment and add programs in engineering and other STEM to make it the north jersey alternative to Tcnj. Ramapo’s beautiful campus and unmatched location near NYC and the upstate border are the reason why it’s being targeted for investment similar to what’s occurring with Rowan albeit at a slower pace without the generous private donations.
