I’ve been told (here & elsewhere) that students in NJ have a more negative attitude re: Rutgers than kids from other states do. I also see this ‘proximity-leads-to-contempt’ attitude (I think) in other states as well–my son would absolutely love to go to U of MD (OOS tuition is super high!) but many kids from MD discount it (maybe for their own good reasons, but I see a bit of a parallel to the NJ-dismissal of Rutgers).

This is not the whole picture, but maybe that could be a factor?
