<p>I’d go to Rutgers if only because it will give you a more traditional experience, and you don’t have to commute. You’re there on campus. You can engage with the school on a much more meaningful level than if you had to commute back and forth every day. The fact that it’s also cheaper and strong in your major are certainly pluses as well. </p>
<p>Keep in mind that there are CE opportunities in a variety of places with hiring currently quite strong. Though going to school in NYC may present marginally better job opportunities, I don’t think they’re enough to both justify the relatively long commute or higher price tag. </p>
