Someone who won't get lost in a sea of opportunities. There are so many ways students can get involved and so many amazing opprtunities available.

Because it is a big school, you need to actively explore the resources that are available to students, but there are great things waiting for students who take the initiative to find them!

Rutgers University is a large university in which one can easily get loas and overlooked. Make a name for yourself by being actively involved in campus life.

Rutgers is best for people who like a bit of anonymity. It's a huge school so you can make a name for yourself if you want but there's always the option of blending into the crowd. You can go to class or the dining halls in your pjs, you can go out and party one night and be sure that nobody will remember you the next day- you have to really try to earn a rep or a label, so it's easy to do your own thing. Rutgers is great for people who are still finding themselves.

A person who attends this school definitely needs to be open to diversity. A vast amount of the students who attend Rutgers are non-white, but that just makes it even better of a school. A person also needs to be okay with a large campus. Walking here will only get you so far, and for the times where you can't walk, a bus is necessary to get you from point A to point B.

I would recommend Rutgers to anybody seeking a Grade A education from professional teachers, but who is also looking to get the most out of their college lifestyle. This is possible because of the great amount of extracurricular activities. There are simply to many to list, but whether a student decides to join a fraternity or sorority, or joins an academic or community service club, he or she will find themself feeling right at home, and will realize that college is far more open and enjoyable than high scholl ever was.

Jasmine

Goal oriented, outgoing, hardworking, people. Although it really doesnt matter because the school is so diverse that anyone can "fit in" they cannot be be academically lazy though.
