I actually went to NJIT for Applied Physics. I liked how they separated coursework into clearly-defined concentrations. I ended up doing Optics, and was able to easily get a job in the optics industry, and eventually semiconductors. All of my professors were knowledgeable and helpful, with opportunities for research & additional study.

I'm not too familiar with Rutgers curriculum. I think Optics does pidgeon-hole you a bit, so I'd recommend the CS/Physics double-major for a more useful general-purpose degree.

PM me if you want.

Edit: As other posters mention, NJIT is a lot cheaper. However, when I graduated (2013), it didn't have the most typical 'college experience', and the gender ratio was pretty skewed male. From what I hear though, it's gotten a lot better...not sure how important this is to you. Personally, I'd still pick NJIT and pocket the cash.
