Education is virtually the same. There are profs who have classes on both campuses. You get the same degree. Also, the Newark and NB campuses are considered the same school “Rutgers Business School Newark and New Brunswick”.
Not a huge financial or educational implication. If you want the more traditional college experience and especially if you want to live on campus, NB would be nicer for dorming. If you commute, maybe slight edge to Newark because its smaller and easier to navigate (plus in your case it is closer any way). Also some business courses don’t transfer between campuses (even though the same class might literally be taught by the same prof, with the same book, teaching the same material in both locations. True story. Just bureaucracy for no reason.) So once you start on a campus, its generally better to stay unless you really need to transfer.
A school to school transfer, I think. I’ve never done it so can’t help there.
