“I did my undergraduate degree at rutgers and honestly kind of hated it there, if I’m being blunt. I didnt really connect with anyone and didn’t really like the campus either.” … “I have been pretty depressed and lonely for sometime and feel as though living in new york might give me some umph to get out there more.”

It sounds like you may have some serious personal issues. Rutgers is a huge school. If you couldn’t connect with anyone out of all those students, perhaps that problem is not with the students or campus. A change of scenery is not likely to address the problem. Are you getting professional help? Perhaps you should consider taking a year off to take care of yourself before tackling a high-stress, expensive graduate program. Next year, you could expand your search too.
