Please detail your financial aid package- is tht 10k net cost (before any loan)?
TCNJ is a much better, more academic college than Ramapo, on par with Rutgers academically and in terms of outcomes & resources. 10k for TCNJ means you got a lot in scholarships and thus would be an excellent student there so I’m afraid there’d be an academic mismatch at Ramapo. (Ramapo is not bad but it’s not at the same level as TCNJ. It’s roughly below Rowan and NJIT but above Kean, Stockton, WPaterson.)
Did you get into Honors at both?
Ramapo fullride is a great achievement but since TCNJ is your first choice and 10k isn’t the end of the world let’s see if there is a way to make it work.
Btw, commuting would expect a terrible idea so it should not expect on the table,
