Hows everyone doing today? This is my first post here because I am concerned about a few schools and their 50/50 reputations. I am from New Jersey and I will most likely stay here to go to school due to my siblings being disabled. (I am a triplet) Some of the schools I have listed have been considered good and at other times considered horrible.
I would like some info on their reputations from Alumni and current students. It is driving me nuts because I am a slightly above average student and I take my education seriously but I would also like to enjoy myself. Pardon me if this is the wrong subject area. I am going for Business but some schools I am going in Business undecided while for others I am going for Business Admin.

Schools I’ve been accepted so far:

Seton Hall (leaning towards, they’re treating me. A nice reception at the Stock Exchange on April 4th, However, I am worried about their bi-polar reputation. Everyone is telling me that is my best choice. I dislike the campus alittle)
Rowan (Not going, better options)
Rider (The professors seem really down to Earth. They seem like normal people. Worried about Business programs and such)
Fairleigh-Dickenson (Business is supposedly non-existent. They offered me alot of money though. Campus is huge but isolated…)
College of Charleston (Too expensive, no scholarships…)
Rutgers (Too big, applied out of curiousity and it was last minute, accepted within a week.)
Stony Brook (Offered some money, decent for a state school Rowan offerred me $2K while this school offered me $4.5K. Sadly, tuition skyrocketed for Out of Staters.)
Monmouth University (Good school offered nice money but small compared to Seton and Fairleigh)

Waitlisted:

University of Delaware (I could care less, I’m getting good money from my accepted schools)

Waiting:

Fordham (only one I remember waiting for, I applied because it was free and I know its a decent school)

Denials:
NONE!

If anyone could clue me in on the good and bad please help me out.
I dont want to make a bad decsion because college is expensive and I’d rather not cost my family money if I transfer. We were hit bad by Sandy.

Thanks again,
John
