Rowan University vs Rutgers vs VA Tech vs UPitt for Computer Engineering

My top choices are Rowan University (10k scholarship per year), Rutgers, Virginia tech, and upitt. I’m from Nj and want to major in computer engineering. I want to go to Rutgers over rowan but even with being in state the tuition is 35k per year. Rowan will be cheaper with the scholarship but Rutgers has a bigger name and a better alumni network/better opportunities.
Virginia tech is ranked higher for engineering but out of state tuition will be more. Same for upitt. I didn’t get any scholarships from Rutgers, upitt, and Virginia tech. Which one should I commit to?

First - the one you can afford.

Then the one that you feel most comfortable.

I find it hard to believe that you’ll attain a vastly different outcome from Rutgers, Va Tech or Pitt - all large flagship like and excellent schools.

I can’t speak to Rowan - but if that’s what your family can afford, I’m sure it’s a great option. It’s ABET accredited as are the others. So it’s likely they put out plenty of successful grads. You can ask them - I’m sure they have a detailed placement report.

Best of luck.
