Reply to comment by LaxGuit in NJIT or Rutgers for physics? by fancyzebras

Rutgers Newark is a different experience than Rutgers New Brunswick. If he is comparing Rutgers Newark to NJIT would you still pick RU? I went to NJIT many years ago and it seemed the two campuses had a similar feel. I would agree that the RU New Brunswick campus would have more social options

I honestly didn’t even think about that - you are absolutely right. If the OP is considering New Brunswick, my first comment stands. If it’s RU Newark, I don’t have any experience there so my other comment can be ignored.

I was referring to New Brunswick, Newark is an option but I would probably choose NJIT over RU Newark I think.

I attended classes at all 3 (albeit not physics). Rutgers NB > NJIT > Rutgers Newark.

Looking back transferring from NJIT to Rutgers NB was a great choice for me for many reasons, but as other's suggested take a look at the programs and what you want out of them first. There's a lot more support for students coming out of the military, FWIW.
