I attended Rutgers College and my met my wife while she was an undergraduate at Douglass, which was one of the highlights of our four years in New Brunswick. What surprised me most about Rutgers is how the reputation of the school, especially with employers, improves as the the distance from New Jersey increases. I worked in Massachusetts and upstate New York and found many succesful Rutgers alumni in those areas who shared my observation. Rutgers, although a real "grind school" also serves as excellent (an inexpensive) preparation for graduate school, in fact I found graduate school much easier than my undergraduate education at Rutgers. Candidly, although I would not recommend that my children attend Rutgers, I am most grateful for the education and for the opportunities it provided. If you are a New Jersey resident, with significant financial aid needs, Rutgers is a viable option.
