Rutgers University-New Brunswick Top Questions

Describe the students at your school.

Daniel

My classmates can either be very smart and studious or unfocused and more alcohol literate than knowledgeable.

Mital

My classmates are very diverse in many ways, such as religions, ethnics, interests, personalities, and values. Most of them are proactive and friendly.

Derek

Largely composed of liberal arts students. Very intelligent and motivated crowd of people. It is competitive. The campus is very diverse, representing a plethora of ideas and backgrounds. However, this is probably more representative of New Jersey residents than it is of the school itself. Out of state students are nearly unheard of.

Jillian

My classmates are competitive, well rounded and are (for the most part) science majors, like myself.

A lot of diverse people.

Delia

Jamila

It's hard to describe all my classmates in one sentence, however if I must I believe that they are a very diverse group, which is refreshing. There are always interesting people to learn from with different backgrounds and beliefs.

Rachel

I do not know many of them because our classes are so big. The friends I have made in my classes are very nice although not so intelligent. All the people struggling with course material seem to band together to try and pass the class while the smarter students alientate themselves and study on their own. I wish some of the more intelligent students shared their knowledge with the less intelligent students so that everyone could do well on the tests. It is sort of a survival of the fittest atmosphere in most lower level courses.

Ryan

The student body is extremely diverse. For some students this is their first time in America and for others they've lived in New Jersey their entire lives. Every culture, ethnicity and religion is well represented and accepted. To generalize, students are pretty modest and friendly t-shirt and jeans types of folks. Politically the school ranges from long haired kids who think that the war is 'like, really bad, man' to Libertarians who want to abolish the Fed and use the word 'bootstraps' a lot to conservatives, who are by their nature mostly quiet and withhold their opinions. The student body breaks down a bit by campus. College Ave is liberal arts kids, Busch is sciences and engineering, Cook is biological and life sciences, Livingston is communications and business and Douglass is the former women's college.

Lauren

Diverse and intelligent
