Opinion of Rutgers, Seton Hall? Forum

[Cdanesi]

What's the opinions of these schools? I'm from the NYC area and I'm considering some others but what's the general feeling about Rutgers Newark and Seton Hall?

Thanks!

Seriously. There are probably 100 threads discussing these schools.

They're okay options if you're from NJ and want to practice in NJ and go for dirt cheap. Otherwise avoid.

Thanks.

Avoid SH like the plague. That place is a shitmill run by the valvoline dean himself.

honestly if you're smart it'd be really easy to get high grades. people from that state are ridiculously dumb. it is probably the dumbest state in the union in that all of the smart and motivated people leave. the jersey shore IQ is a real epidemic. it isn't just the television show.

Best friend is a 3L at Rutgers-Newark and he probably would not recommend going to either if you can help it. Him and a lot of people in his class are real worried about jobs right now.

You should give OP his email address to get the skinny.

You clearly know nothing about jersey whatsoever. Please stop insulting an entire state you clearly are completely ignorant about. Thanks.

You're screen name says it all.

Not really sure but I think that was a compliment...

And *your* grammar says it all.

It's so much worse mistaking your for you're than the other way around.

ha. Your point is made.

OP, take a look at LST, and you'll see that the median salary for the Class of 2011 was $43k at SHU and $50k at RU, and that's with only about half of the class reporting salaries, so you can figure it's probably worse than that. I think it all comes down to cost and what your other options may be. Others may beg to differ, but I think that if you can keep your total COA at each school at $50k or less, it's a reasonable investment. Then again, if you were to walk away/turn down a solid job making $40k-$50k or more for a 50/50 shot at recouping that salary and now with a bunch of debt, you may want to think twice.

Note to self- do not flame NJ schools before morning coffee. In revenge of you pointing out my grammatical error rwhyan, I will now fire two people at my retail clothing outlet store. Two innocent, hard-working high schoolers just lost their job because of your attention to detail...I hope YOU'RE happy.

It's all in good fun. As a New Jerseyan, I need to stand up for my own. Sorry to hear about the two high schoolers losing their jobs, but on the bright side, maybe they'll be replaced by a couple of newly minted, unemployed JDs!
