I love that my school is so diverse and has so much goin on. There is always something to do and somewhere to hang out. The kids are friendly and housing is great. I housed for a year and had a great time. Rutgers has great transportation and the libraries are great. Their resources are amazing aswell as their internet connection. I loved that it was a public-ivy and living in NJ allowed me to save a lot on an amazing education. The Pharmacy Program I am in will allow me to get a great job.

The library on the Douglass Campus at Rutgers is one of the best places to study on campus. There are often many students in the library preparing for classes, while drinking coffee and having a quiet conversation. Students can sit on the ground level where there are couches and chairs, enticing students to relax and read. Wireless internet and high tech computers are also readily available for students working on papers. Students can also sit on the top level where there is a quiet room for studying or the ground level where seating is available amongst the book shelfs.

There are opportunities to meet new people every day, as well as opportunities to become very involved. I think this is important because college is an important time to develop friendships, alliances, and social networks. Involvement also enhances your overall experiences. It is more diverse than most colleges, which offers many opportunities for students to be exposed to cultures, religions, ethnicities, viewpoints, political beliefs, etc. that are different thant their own. This is helpful in expanding your knowledge and gaining different perspectives, which can be beneficial to your everyday life and future.

The opportunity for independence and growth as an individual

Its reputation for academic excellence and the diversity of courses and subjects. The quality of the degree you get is important to your ability to find a job.

its diversity.

Its proximity to New York City, that offers the school a lot of extra perks that people might not think about. There is always something to do, it is a great opportunity for internships and future career prospects, and it also attracts professors to the area with extensible and applicable backgrounds.

The level of community and diversity among the students.

Lots of activities and learning opportunitys. More than enough libraries and learning centers. Strong academic focus

I go to the Mason Gross School of the Arts within Rutgers, and I love that our curriculum includes working very closely with teachers and graduate students as well as with fellow undergrads. I also love the variety of courses we are able to take within the rest of the Rutgers community, as well as all of the extra-curricular activities that I can take part in.

The diversity of the people at Rutgers really add to the experience of being exposed to new things as well as the broad range of extracurricular activities and opportunities to get involved.

The best thing about this school is the classes that are offered here. There is a varity of classes offered for a variety of subjects. All the professors are extremely knowledgeable and willing help students learn. It is a very good academic environment and really focuses on trying to help students suceed in their classes.

Honestly, although there is alot of negative I can think about, Rutgers is one of the most diverse institutions out there. Turn any corner and you will be given an eyeful of Chinese, Arab, Korean, Black, Chilean, and maybe even sometime Papa New Guinean. It is quite amazing how there are so many different races and ethnicities. Coming from the South it was an almost cultural shock, that was gotten over very quickly. It really makes up for alot that I felt negative about the school. Maybe even deletes the negative.

Student Government, open to all ideas

the amount of choice. it offers many different majors.

People are accepting of the abundant cultural and ethnic diversity as well as the social diversity. Not everyone socializes in the same ways, and students appreciate that at Rutgers. At a house party, it is not uncommon to interact with frat guys, hippies, jocks, stoners, intellects, club chicks, and non-conformists... all in the same room. The next day, all these people can be seen playing wiffle ball together while enjoying a barbeque. Students here are confident with who they are and secure enough to respect how others are different.

It's big enough to just blend in without anyone having to know who you are.

Everyone on campus is so helpful and kind. As a freshman there were so many people who were just on the street willing to help me find my way around. Everything can be easily accessed. Great professors. Interesting courses. Everyone is willing to talk about their own cultures- great diversity.
