Rutgers University-New Brunswick Top Questions

Parking and commuting are often the worst qualities about this university. The university public safety issues tickets to students who do not have valid parking permit or park off campus in New Brunswick during weekends and off-peak hours. During inclement weather, there is intense traffic congestion on the highway for cars and the university bus shuttles. Course registration can be troublesome for both undergraduate and graduate students. Often, students have to be put on the waiting list to recieve a special permission number by the professor.

I would consider my school to be the best thing that has ever happened to me but I can't. As much as I love my school for the education, location and numerous opportunities that it provides I must say that I hate it for how expensive it is, especially for an out-of-state student like myself. Even though my full time single father covers all of my tution I still do not think it is fair for anyone to have to pay as much as college students have to to be successful.

The size of Rutgers would be what I consider the worst. It is a pain when your classes on on different campuses so you have to make note of travel time when you pick classes.

i consider the size per faculty as the worst thing. I dont mean in the classroom, i mean within the career services centers. There are so many students but minimal career services faculty.

There is no personal attention paid to students attempting to determine their career path. I received no academic advising throughout my four years at Rutgers, and the only person who took an interest in helping me to find my career and my major was a professor I had in my sophomore year. Very little personal attention given.

The worst thing about Rutgers would have to be the transporation. Due to the four different campuses i was forced to catch buses back and forth to get to class. Many times the buses would take a long time to arrive, especially when the weather got bad.

Nothing

The worst thing for me during my first semester was the size of the campus. It can be overwhelmingly big to newcomers.

The classes are way too big.

The microwaves are sometimes broken. Sucks for a commuter like me!
