Rutgers University-New Brunswick Top Questions

The opportunities that there are to succeed and the social life.

I brag about it's academic standard, the variety of social activities that it has, the sports, the enormous diversity of students and how different each part of campus is, so a student can experience all aspects of the world. The campuses range from grassy fields to a more city-like feel.

I tell them I'm in the New Brunswick business school which is one of the top ten business schools in the country. I also tell them that there are separate campuses to take buses to and that the school is in a cool city.

I brag to my friends about how, even thought Rutgers is in New Jersey, it feels like a world away when you're there. Most of the people that attend Rutgers are from NJ and so when they leave school they go home to...NJ. I feel that people want to "go away" for college just to get out of the area in which they grew up. But when you go to Rutgers you can have the "going away" experience without being miles from home. You can choose when and when not to go home without purchasing a plane ticket.

About the education and how it is recognized across the country. People have said that any state college degree can get you a job, but with a Rutgers degree you can succeed in life as far as Ivy League degrees. I also brag about the diversity amongst the school, not only the people, but the campuses as well. When you switch from one campus to the next, the whole environment changes, and you can feel it. And the campuses are only a few minutes away.
