There isn't one sentance to describe my classmates- there is a lot of diversity at Rutgers!

they are intelligent well rounded people

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.

Diverse and intelligent
