<p>I’ll most likely major in either English/Comparative Lit and Psychology. </p>
<p>I see myself happy at either of them. I love both for very different reasons. </p>
<p>If I go to RU I’ll be in the Honors program and live in the Douglass Residential College. </p>
<p>Any thoughts? How do the two go against each other in terms of national reputation?</p>
<p>i don’t really know what you want to know. there are obvious differences between the two. as it is a liberal arts college, i would say that bryn mawr has the better reputation. but rutgers’ english department is pretty good too, and i think reputable as well. </p>
<p>i’m majoring in english at rutgers, and i’m in the hp and drc… do you have any specific questions about any of those programs?</p>
<p>Naoise, I plan to do the DRC too 
I’m leaning more towards RU now because the price tag of a LAC these days is ridiculous. </p>
<p>How much professor-student interaction is there in your English classes? Is the student body (general and HP) enthusiastic about English? I know I learn more when I can have a give and take relationship with perspective during class (esp. in Lit) and that’s what turned me off about RU, but I hear that in any HP class/seminar there is a lot of interaction and less lecturing but more development of argument, thinking, etc. Have you found your program to be satisfying? And in general, is there anything about RU/HP that bothers you?</p>
<p>I guess what worries me about reputation as well is how easily I can get a job after undergrad if I decide not to attend grad school. I’ve been told by numerous counselors that when people are competing for jobs, employers often choose the candidates from the most prestigious schools and start them off with better pay. I know it’s a long time ahead, but I thought it should factor into my decision now. I’m thinking about going into publishing or writing professionally. </p>
<p>Thank you!!!</p>
