Rutgers University-New Brunswick Top Questions

I believe the worst thing about the school is the disconnect between the way faculty perceives students' lives and the way students actually live their lives.

As the school itself is rather large, first-year classes are have hundreds of students in them.

The worst thing about my school is the way things are relayed to the students and faculty because the school takes a while to do it and they don't always make sure that everyone gets this information.

The size of the student body is definitely an unfavorable factor when it comes to Rutgers University. The large population really prevents students from getting the attention they need from proffessors.

The worst thing about this school is how large it is. It may be a bit too big for some students.

Two things I do not like about Rutgers is the size of Rutgers and its busses, and the the lack of events that were offered this year. Rutgers is a huge campus and sometimes getting from one campus to another is very time consuming. The bus system is not the greatest, and sometimes you feel as if you are on the other side of the world when you go to a different campus. Also, something that irked me was the lack of concerts held by Rutgers. I expected to see live music and have fun, but I was left disappointed.

Parking.

The worst thing about the school is the bureaucratic nature of the school. You need to go through a lot of rules and regulations so anyone who does not actively seek out the requirements for degrees and whatnot can be severely punished which is why the term "RU Screw" is used regularly. Also the commuting time between campuses can be a hassle if you're in a rush but that's just the inherent nature of a school that has 40,000+ students.

If you aren't used to living in a "city," New Brunswick is a bit crowded and full of aggressive drivers.

Many of the classes were too large.
