Unfortunately, all of the above comments about NJ are dead wrong. NJ is an awesome state, don't listen to those who base their opinions on the one or two or four towns or cities they've been in. Parts of Northern NJ tend to be much more yuppy and affluent than Southern NJ. Half of Bergen county is like this, as is half of Essex and Morristown counties. Then of course the whole entire Princeton area tends to be yuppy and affluent as well. We've got amazing neighborhoods and towns with fantastic schools. NJ has the most millionaires of any state, and many many wealthy individuals, and this is definitely reflected in hundreds of communities in NJ. There are a ton of commuters to NYC from New Jersey (including Wall Streeters, that make their living in NJ).
The ONLY bad parts of NJ are Newark, Camden, and Hudson County(where factories are). NJ is also rural in some parts, but those "rural" areas more often than not contain plenty of millionaire dollar homes. I can see how one might think NJ sucks if they only visited Newark, Camden, Hudson Cty etc, but overall, NJ is truly a fantastic state with plenty to boast about. Those who dis it all the time are those who usually know nothing about the state and have very limited exposure.
So, I think NJ is great, but I think Rutgers' MBA program probably isn't too top notch. Why don't you look at schools like NYU - Stern, U of Mich, etc.
