Message: [QUOTE="tipphill, post: 2573930, member: 4809"] that is one small sample universe you are drawing from. gee my spouse went to south river high school in nj and she says many of her peers wanted to go to rutgers? what makes lafayette and villanova so much more attractive to nj kids???? you need to come up with something better than that. rutgers by virtue of being in its location and northeast mentality that there is a bigger world out there, would dictate that the big 10 state school loyalty mentality is not a factor . lets see, i went to grad school at rutgers, my daughter chose upenn over rutgers and syracuse law/maxwell over rutgers law. many of her high school friends went to rutgers or another nj state school because they could not get into rutgers. cost/debt is most always a factor in selecting a school----rutgers is most definitely the outlier in how big 10 in state students view their home schools----there is no rah rah in the northeast.
