I posted this some time back for my transfer. Have to decide soon. Just wanted to see what the masses have to say. I'm pursing double majors in Physic and International Affairs.

The meat:

Rutgers University, the State University of New Jersey:
Public, New Brunswick, New Jersey
Cost(in state): 17,000 (with room and board)
Enrollment: 28,000
Pros: History, Quees College (Rutgers College) established in 1766 by Benjamin Franklyn's illagitament son
Large state school, lots of resources. Mixed old and new facilities
Research University
Pretty well known.
Cons: Notorious for BAD administration and efficiency.
State School, little student-proffessor relationships
Some of the worst dorms in the country

American University
Private, Washington DC, Distric of Columbia
Cost: 34,000
Enrollment: 5,800
Pros: Located in Washington DC, great city resources, close to Georgetown and The George Washington University
Great politics and law programs. Good business program.
Small school, good student teacher relationships
Very good dorms along with well maintained and new facilities
Has great potential to be influential university
Cons: Not very well known.
Tends to be snobbish incorporating lots of rich kids with money to burn
Expensive
Not much of a research university
 
well the MOST will be Rutgers since from 28,000 you should ahve around 14000 female. however recent rutgers polls show that 1/3 of the rutgers women have some sort of sexually transmitted disease, making people who attend and live in the area affectionately naming it "Slutgers"

1/3?! Dear lord..
 
ive actually lived in both these areas.
while i wouldnt give up my time in DC, living in NJ/NY area is much better.

DC isnt the greatest city. it has some good points but, for me anyway, far fewer good points than NYC

i blame jezo.
 
I believe that for international relations American is better, but Rutgers may have the better Physics program.

Go to whichever one will be cheaper to attend after grants and scholarships.

Also note that with a bigger school you will have MORE CHOICES as to what classes to take. In most smaller schools all people in 1 major have to take the exact same classes for their upper level electives.
 
It really doesn't matter, they're of comparable quality, and if you want to go into international affairs you'll need a masters from a good school
