I was looking into Rutgers and Farleigh Dickinson. Is there any other colleges in New Jersey that I should look into? Here is a little about me: I am apart of my schools National Honor Society, National Art Honor Society, Theater program, I get A's and B's, I am also in AP Art, and lastly I have done plenty of community service. My PSAT Scores where 1500 out of 1800 for sophomore year. I do not exactly know what major i want to do though. no Princeton. lol

Answer 1 :
For U.S. colleges in NJ: http://www.utexas.edu/world/univ/state/#NJ This consumer site may have posts by former students about the colleges in which you're interested: http://www.studentsreview.com and can type into search and then click "comments", if there are any. (The "red square" posts are the negative ones.) Regarding which major to choose, Farrah Gray, young male multimillionaire and author of "Reallioniare", suggests asking oneself this question about a career path, "What would I do for years and years to come and not have to get paid?" For general career information: http://www.bls.gov/oco and can type into search whatever career that piques one's interest.
Answer 2 :
Look at The College of New Jersey. It's dedicated to providing a great undergraduate education. It's relatively small and harder to get into than Rutgers. On the other hand, if you are into diversity and all of the resources and opportunities of a LARGE research university, Rutgers is great. Depending on your major, Montclair might be good. My son goes there and is getting an excellent education in the arts, *but* Montclair is run by the gang that can't shoot straight. It's administration has screwed him on everything from housing, to admission (forgot to tell him that he got in, until he got an invitation to the admitted students open house), to academics (changed credit requirements for his major half way through) etc. Another look sees "Theater Program." Montclair has a truly outstanding theater program, woth all the crap. p.s. With those SAT scores, try to think bigger. There a tons of outstanding school within a 3 hour drive from NJ.
