Answer 1 :
I would go with Rutgers. TCNJ is not well known outside of NJ. It used to be Trenton State College, but changed its name to sound nicer. Rutgers has more programs accademically, which means you can try a lot of things out while you are there. Also, you can get into the Rutgers honors program if you get a 3.5 GPA after one year. Rutgers is known nationally. It has a great football team and womens basketball. If you went to california, theyd know Rutgers. The only reason to go to TCNJ over Rutgers is if you want a smaller environment. The class sizes a a little smaller, and the administration cares a little more. But if you want recognition, which it seems like you do, its better to be academically successful in an ocean at Rutgers than to be the big fish in the small pond of TCNJ. Even so, Rutgers is broken up into smaller divisions, so you always see your friends around campus. It FEELS like a small college at Rutgers even though you know there are thousands of students. Finally, out of experience, I have a friend who graduated TCNJ last year, with a degree in marketing, and is working at Borders as a cashier. I have a friend who graduated Rutgers last year, with accounting, who had a job offer the end of her Junior year. In New Jersey, The best undergrad is Princeton, Followed by Rutgers. TCNJ is like most of the other NJ state schools like Stockton or Montclair Good luck, and e-mail me with any other questions.
Answer 2 :
I would guess that Rutgers is #2 in the state (behind Princeton, but there are other contenders for #2 like Seton Hall). TCNJ is 2nd tier, good, but 2nd tier
