Hello everyone, I am having trouble deciding which college I should attend to continue my academic career. I am majoring in Computer Science and am wondering which atmosphere is better for me.

Rowan is significantly more affordable since they gave me a scholarship and looks like a nice and quiet campus. However, I am wondering how easy it is to get around town if you are living on campus without a car and how the computer science program compares with Rutgers, are there as many opportunities?

Rutgers has a better name value compared to Rowan and sounds like it has a superior computer science program. But, the large scale of the campus and classes makes me wonder if I would feel comfortable there. I also hear that their introduction classes are incredibly hard so they can get people to switch off of a CS degree.

Would attending Rowan make it harder to get an internship or get my first job significantly? Is Rutgers as overwhelming as it sounds?

Thanks in advance.
