Rutgers University-New Brunswick Top Questions

The worst thing about college, and not just Rutgers University, is the cost of higher education today. This is a moot point to be arguing but it is increasinly difficult for young adults to pay their own way through college. Having to focus on getting the term bill paid takes away from the learning in the classroom and on campus that is the entire college experience. Paying my own way through college though has allowed me to develop a deeper appriciation for my education.

Also probably the busing situation because there are never enough buses and they're never big enough to hold everyone.

I have not found anything really wrong academically with Rutgers University. The classes are hard like sevral other colleges, most teachers try to help their students as much as possible. The only real negative thing I could say about this University is its food. The food could be improved because the cooks are always inventing new things which do not seem appealing to eat. I think they should just keep it simple. However, mu overall time at Rutgers University has been a complete pleasure with lots of oppertunities to expand my education.

It is a very large school, therefor, whether you're a freshman or a transfer student there is a shock to the system feeling as if you're just a number in a classroom. It can be disheartening and overwhelming, especially if the professors treat you more as an annoyance rather then a student looking to learn.

The worst thing about Rutgers is it's lack of overall organization and information availbility. When you want to find out information, whether pertaining to classes, social events, financial aid, tec. it is usually a long and confusing process.

The worst thing about my school is the traveling on buses through rain or cold . It's a huge thing to get used to since most people rely on cars for transportation but everyone eventually figures out the bus routes and feels more comfortable with it after a while.

Once again, the size of the school. At times the buildings are very cluttered and classrooms can reach up to sizes of 400 students. It becomes difficult at times to talk to professors after class or schedule meetings. The buses are often crowded and move slowly, making travel a strenuous process to go through daily.

The worst thing about my school is the large size of the classes because it is harder to get a one on one connection with the professor. This leads to students falling behind in the class because they get lost in the material and it is harder to get help from the professor. Students then end up using the teacher aides and their fellow peers for assistance, which usually is not as helpful.

Rutgers is spread out over far too much space.
