Definitely. You will learn even if you sleep, not just academically, responsibility wise as well. Keep on top of things and sign up for as many possible programs to aid in your transition to college as possible. Make the load that is bound to come, much easier on yourself.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I have learned to enjoy it much more than I had anticipated. I was all for small universities and colleges, but Rutgers has made a significant affect on my view of college.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Try to get as much government aid as possible, dorm expenses combined with a mandatory meal-plan as a freshman will kill your parents pockets if you are not EOF or are commuting.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Rutgers is a challenging place to attend school if you are easily discouraged. As a freshman, I commuted not because I could not afford to live on campus, but because my parents were afraid to let me dorm. This put a tremendous strain on how I experienced college. Yet, it did not stunt my views on college life. Academics at Rutgers if you are an engineering, math, science, nursing, pharmacy, arts major are rigorous. Do not be fooled, partying happens but so does exams that you must prepare for and shops that you have to stay long hours to complete various activities in. All in all, it is a blast. Learning about yourself through the eyes of your peers and those faculty that you become close to, teaches you a lot about who you are. Discouragement and depression about an exam grade or a test scores or even your GPA in your first year at Rutgers is bound to occur. However, at the end of that spring semester, when you look back you will be thankful to have experienced so much, learned so much, and enjoyed your time budding into young adulthood. This school, though not my dream school, nor my first pick has indeed opened my eyes to reality. As a prospective student, strap down and be prepared for a ride.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
This school is great for people with good and bad study habits, high and low GPA's and a lot of ambition. Any major apply, but know that you must be prepared to be challenged and actually learn much more than you thought you could in high school. If a new scene is what you are looking for, you will find it here. There are plenty of different cultures and people of all races here, you will become immersed in diversity and that is from every spectrum, academically, socially, culturally. Prepare to be embraced.
