| Tons of smart kids, many second-generation kids who attended area high schools, going to GMU these days. It has about the same admission rate as Rutgers and a more cosmopolitan student body. |

Technically there is a campus in Newark but it's certainly not the main campus. |

Don't waste your time and $$$ on "serious game design" or civil engineering. If you're serious and willing to do the hard work, get the CS degree. |

| If you're in state for VA -- go to GMU -- you'll save a lot of $$ and there are jobs in the no VA area. |

| New Brunswick is kind of gross. I'd look at College Park, Penn State, Pitt, Virginia Tech or GMU first. Comparable academics in nicer environments. |
