Rutgers is a very diverse environment. It's large community of students provide an ideal place for personal and academic growth. It's also rich in resources available to students.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Because Rutgers is such a large institution, do your best to get involved! Attend the involvement fair to learn about clubs and activities you could be interested in. Also use your first few days before class to get acclimated to the bus system and where things are.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Rutgers is a very rigorous institution. Though I'm a dance major which most people would probably consider a major with low academic rigor, I've found myself challenged throughout my first semester. But, I don't think the rigor of Rutgers is overwhelming for students. With proper time management students tend to still have an enjoyable experience.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorms are nice and very efficient. I remember my heat was broken and I called maintenance expecting them to show up within a few weeks but instead they were there within the hour. Within my dorm we have a very positive relationship with our RA's as well which greatly impacts the experience.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food at Rutgers is amazing! There is such a variety at all times. And, with a menu that changes everyday you never get bored with the food. It's also quality dining.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are always parties on campus during the weekends. The football games are also a lot of fun. Also, many of the organizations on campus host events regularly including poetry events, movie nights, and parties at the student center.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Rutgers is definitely worth the tuition. Our terrific dining services, convenient bus system, and fun and diverse environment make for an amazing college experience for any student.
