@Gudmom I feel the same about Rutgers. We live even closer…15 miles and if my son decides to attend, I’d want him on campus. However, my biggest fear is that it will be deserted on weekends, he won’t have that true ‘college’ experience, and as he puts it, he’ll feel like it’s an extension of high school. In two weeks we are having second looks at some other schools he had been accepted at and hope he sees the benefits of those programs as well.
