It is an amazing school to look for opportunities and also to find your true self. There is always something for everyone to get involve. Different clubs and other involvement opportunity are available. I have been able to get rid of my public speaking anxiety because of the opportunities and motivating environment of RUtgers.
It has a reputation as a party school but it is so much more. The HUGE campus seemed ooverwhelming at first but I like it now. Professors are so cool and worldly that I changed my major to get more. 3/4 of the cafeterias are nice. The new livingston campus has the best of everything.
I was on the Cook-Douglas campus for most of my classes. I liked how many trees there were as it would look beautiful during the spring and summer months with all of the flowers next to the pond. The campus was quiet despite New Brunswick being several blocks down the street. Within the last few years, they built a new food science building which has a small food court with delicious healthy food. The introductory classes are held in large lecture halls; however, after sophomore year you start taking your major-related classes and the class sizes become smaller, making it is easier to get to know the professor and ask questions. All of my professors had office hours and they were amenable to scheduling outside of those times if you emailed them in advance.
I think the school is big enough for every student to find something that will interest them. I liked that I could try new things and experiences. The campus culture isn't the friendliest, and it's really everyone for themselves (unless you're in greek life). Overall, if you need to go somewhere affordable where you are confident in your major and the resources the school provides, this is the place for you.

If I could go back in time I would tell myself that studies come first. Social life and Rutgers football games, have to come second to my studies. There will be plenty of time for me have fun later on in life. I would also tell myself that I will be paying about 25K a year so that I can attend, and that if I dont make the most of that money then I would be throwing it away. I would say, be active and join as many organizations as possible. Network with people because there are thousands of people that are graduating yearly from Rutgers and that I may never know when a contact I meet may be able to offer me a job further down the line.
My classmates are intelligent, motivated, knowledge-seekers, and goal oriented.

There is time for fun but when it comes down to it at Rutgers you have to focus. They rightfully expect the best and if you make it into Rutgers you can be the best.
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.
Anyone who can't handle being around large groups of students at any given time, or doesn't like the idea of taking a bus to get to your classes, which could be located on a completely different campus than the one you live on. Anyone who doesn't want the chance to meet a lot of new people and make long lasting friendships through sports, clubs and other activities you can join.
Rutgers University is best known for research and the social diversity. There are many people at Rutgers from different backgrounds and religions. Also the professors at this school seem to be more focused on their research than teaching the students.
In light of the size of Rutgers University, the bureaucracy can be frustrating. You really have to work to get answers from administration, and often get different answers to the same question. I don't necessarily think this is a bad thing, because it encourages students to be proactive, resourceful, and independent-- skills that are definitely required for success in life after college!
Rutgers' vice is also its virtue; the large amount of students creates a fantastic environment for those who want the classic college experience. The social activities one can attend are astounding, and can often leave students forgetting other reasons why they attended Rutgers. Potential friends can be found everywhere, from frat parties to crammed busses. The greek life on Rutgers is vast, and provides students every degree of frat life. Those who are not into greek life need not stress-the amount of activities are bound to have friends that suit your interests. Friends are your last problem at Rutgers.
Most of my professors do not know my name which actually doesnt bother me. I know that they recognize me from participating a lot in class and thats all that i ask for. Academics are very competitive here. I just recently was admitted into the business school, and only 400 students are admitted per year out of the 40,000+ students that go here. Now everyone that didnt get in has to change their major and figure out what they want to do. also the pressure is on me for the next to years not to slip below a 3.4 gpa or else i get the boot. The education here is for getting a job, beacuse Rutgers offers so many programs to help get jobs and train you to get jobs, mock interviews, teaches us how to write resumes, how to approach employers at career fairs.
There is a lot of Rutgers pride, especially when it comes to football. although the latest controversy in our school has been about the approval of the football field's expansion which will cost the school approximately 80 million dollars.
Personally, I dont know about the specific stereotypes about Rutgers students in general but I do here about the different stereotypical behaviors encountered on each individual campus. For instance, Douglass is said to have the most feminem qualities not just because it was once an all girl school but because the girls there seem to give off a persona which exemplifies arrogants and rather stand offish behavior, whereas college ave is said to be known as the drinking campus, Bush as the more scientific campus (for obvious reasons) and Livingston as the quiet campus (a stereotype that was recently broken with the new lift on the incoming student policy).
The most popular sport is football! Ever since Rutgers' football team reached the Big 10, it has been all the craze with Rutgers.
In truth I dont know one person who attends Rutgers that has thought about or who actually wants to transfer out of Rutgers. It is such an amazing school, its full of energy, there is a club or everyone to join, there is always something to do, ton of people to meet, and the courses here are challenging. Most people dont think much of Rutgers, but Rutgers students love it!
The common stereotypes of Rutgers are that the students that drink a lot and tend to sleep around too much. One of Rutgers' other name is Slutgers.
