<p>Gain a med school. Lose a crappy campus or maybe two. More focus on NB campus.</p>

<p>Sounds good to me.</p>
<p>I guess this means more research and clinical opportunities for premeds, good for Rutgers’s reputation.</p>
<p>Rutgers already has a medical school in Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.</p>
<p>“Rutgers has a long history with and deep connections to the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. Until 1970, the medical school was a part of Rutgers. Rutgers already owns the land and most of the facilities in Piscataway that are in use by the medical school. Equally important, our institutions have significant ongoing collaborations, joint grants, and shared faculty and programs.”</p>
<p>RWJ Medical School is a part of UMDNJ.</p>
<p>I think the part that you are missing here when you say “losing a crappy campus” is that Rutgers Camden actually provides Rutgers New Brunswick with a lot of funding! Rutgers will also lose the law school thats in Camden</p>

<p>No, Rutgers doesn’t have any medical school at this point. RWJ is part of UMDNJ which will soon be merged with Rutgers.</p>
<p>I would trade a law school on another campus for a med school essentially on campus any day of the week. Not even a very good law school.</p>
<p>If you did some research you would’ve found that the Camden campus has a pretty descent law school. After you do some researching about the nature of the merger and the likely consequences for students and staff I think you also try to understand something called loyalty.
Btw, I don’t attend Rutgers Camden, but I am definitely against the merger.</p>
