<p>A big upside with TCNJ is that it’s a 2 minute walk to all of your classes from your dorm so you don’t have to take a bus around.</p>
<p>One upside with Rutgers is that there is more of a selection of professors and classes to choose from. You guys have stuff like “Marxian Economics” and “Economics of Japan” and “Economics of Transition” and “Public Economics,” etc. </p>
<p>Here we don’t have nearly that many options and there are only maybe 4 options courses to choose from a semester. Also, you can avoid the bad professors at Rutgers whereas at TCNJ, (as I said before) you have to take Samanta (although I personally don’t think he’s bad). </p>
<p>It’s definitely a tradeoff.</p>
<p>In terms of job prospects, TCNJ Econ majors can get Merrill Lynch/JP Morgan if you do well. Rutgers has a bigger alumni network though. Also, if you’re going to grad school, it doesn’t matter which one you go to.</p>
