<p>Neither is really good location wise but jimgotkp is right, camden is much worse than the newark campus. </p>
<p>Rutgers has a greater reputation the farther you go from NJ so just telling you that here, it is considered a party school. Most of the first and second year courses are very large, but as you get more specialized they become smaller. I took the physics course intended for premed students there last summer and it was very good. I have no clue about the Newark campus but the New Brunswick one is very good for pre-med. There are a lot of opportunities for internships (that I know of) with the hospital that has basically bought out all of New Brunswick except the downtown restaurants. </p>
<p>If you didn’t get accepted into the New Brunswick branch I am pretty sure you can’t go there. You will have to go to Newark and transfer. However, they have rolling admission so I think you can still apply to New Brunswick.</p>
