I’ll be honest… I live in NJ, and I go to a competitive private high school, and the feeling at my school is that unless it’s really the only thing you can afford (and most people at my high school can afford more), you’d be an idiot to stay in state. My school does kind of have an elitist attitude (with regard to both other high schools, and colleges). The only college in NJ that the majority of my school would even seriously consider attending is Princeton.

However, I, personally don’t think Rutgers is that bad. It’s not great. It’s okay. I’ve already been accepted at Rutgers (parents made me apply); I just don’t want to go because I don’t want to stay in NJ (not even Princeton).
