I've got a little experience to share. I spent almost two years in the Rutgers Engineering program before realizing it wasn't the right path for me. Luckily Rutgers offers a wide range of options and I went the Economics route.

Anyway, Rutgers is an outstanding engineering school. I had a similar decision to make when I was choosing a college. I was accepted to both Stevens Institute and NJIT along with Rutger's school of engineering. I was also wait listed at Georgia Tech. I like the GT prospect but did not want to put off my decision until they figured out if I'd be welcome to join the next class. I didn't like NJIT that much so that was right out. Stevens offered me a good chunk of money to go there (enough so that it was exactly on par with Rutgers costs). I opted to go the Rutgers route even though I liked Stevens better because there is such a wide variety of people and subjects to take. Rutgers' name is well known (in both engineering and other areas) and it's among the best value in the country today in terms of quality of education versus costs.

If you have any specific questions about RU feel free to PM me. I honestly don't think you'll regret your decision but if you do, you always have the option of transferring after a semester or two at whichever college you finally choose.
