When I go to Rutgers, the first thing that comes to mind are the amazing teachers. They are all very helpful in a very energetic manner. All of them are so focused on the well-being of the the students and their education and give up countless hours of their personal life to aid the students. I consider all of the teachers my mentors as well supportive friends.

I constantly brag about the accomplishments of Rutgers University. Many people from New Jersey do not realize what a great resource is so close. Rutgers is a wonderfully diverse school with many accomplished programs and professors.

Robert

When I tell my friends about Rutgers University, I brag about all of the career opportunities that are possible and the flexibility and guidance to be able to choose the career path that is the most fitting. I also brag about the diversity, which allows me to interact with all different kinds of cultures that my friends from home have never experienced. The large diversity at Rutgers University helps to give me a better understanding about different people all around the world.

Rutgers is so culturally diverse, especially compared to where I attended high school. The immense amount of course offerings is also another thing that I love. You can take so many different classes, as I do (I am a Portuguese/German double major with a Spanish minor). The class schedule allows for me to have 6-7 classes, all of which interest me, because the gen ed requirements are fulfilled by classes that also count towards my major.

Eva

Being the diverse campus that Rutgers University is, I find myself bragging to my peers at home about all the different types of people I encounter while at school. At this university, there isn't a religion, race, or personality type that you do not come across and it makes students aware of the world outside of the university. In addition to the people, the food provided to the students in response to the diverse backgrounds is another thing worth bragging about. The food at Rutgers is amazing due to the four different campuses and their dining halls.

It's expansive diversity (culturally, personalities, financially, and academically)

Joyce

That Rutgers has so much academic support, that the school really wants its student to do well in the future.

Allison

Whenever I come home for break, I always brag to my friends about Rutgers. Of course they know that it is a huge party school, and the whole atmosphere is just fun. However, I usually brag about how interesting my classes are. There are so many different classes I can take, in multiple departments, that I know not every college has to offer. Instead of having to take certain history classes that may not interest me, I am able to enroll in a myriad of amazing courses that are actually alot of fun to be in.

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.

I tend to brag about all of the opportunities I have to work with a faculty that is so immersed in doing research. This year I am working as a research assistant for a professor who has been at Rutgers for over 30 years. I would not have been able to do this as a sophomore at many other schools.
