Sounds like typical guilt that parents (especially immigrant parents) dump on poor kids. It causes them to stress out and sometimes kill themselves. Rutgers is a great school you should be happy to be going there. For a 1st generation immigrant to go to Rutgers, that's actually quite an accomplishment. My parents spent 30k/yr on my highschool (Army Navy Academy in Carlsbad, CA.). I didn't appreciate is and instead goofed off and got bad grades. The best college I got in was San Diego State Univ. I went to college and decided to straiten up. Not for my parents, but for me. I wanted to prove to myself that I'm more than my party school. I ended up with a 3.89 in college then went on to earn my Ph.D. in genetics from University of Texas Southwestern, a top 10 school in the country for molecular genetics. Kick ass at Rutgers, get a 4.0 and impress em' with a law degree from Harvard. How does that plan sound?
Chin up.
