Both Rowan and Rutgers-Camden would cost around the same for me after merit aid, but assuming NB will be more expensive.

How big is the cost difference to you and your family? I.e. will it involve substantially more debt or cutbacks in other household financial plans (including college for any younger siblings or parent retirement savings and investments)?

The Camden-to-NB 2+2 does mean two years of the lower cost and two years of the higher cost if you do transfer (requires a 3.0 GPA and C+ or higher in each technical course), so Rowan at the lower cost for all four years should be the lowest cost overall.
