<p>If you can get Rutgers for a significantly lower tuition, I really don’t see why you should bother spending the money to go out of state. Of course asking schreyer vs. rutgers is going to give you some bias in the penn state subforum, so take the comments above with that in consideration. Is priority scheduling and the honors classes really worth it? If you are dead set on writing a thesis, nothing would stop you from doing this at Rutgers. As far as honors classes, just take upper level classes at Rutgers. As far as prestige, you are going to have to consider your target market. If you want to work in NJ, no question you should pick rutgers. If you plan on going to grad school, pick the cheapest option. If you want to go to NYC, there is going to be a measely difference between the two, with penn state having the edge.</p>
