Rutgers University-New Brunswick Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Rutgers University-New Brunswick? Why?

Munir

The lack of natural beauty on campus...I like natural beauty. Also, the people act like theyre in high school with the cliques and groups.

Suhaila

Housing process is unacceptable. Not enough housing for students. Process makes little sense and is annoying to go through. Also, too expensive for what its worth.

Chukwuma

School is a well oiled machine and runs sometimes with out consideration of extrenous factors students might be facing out side of school

Nida

Because I majored in art, I felt that the location of Rutgers in NJ was probably not the best choice for me because I didn't know where to go after graduation since almost all art related jobs are located in new york city.

Raymond

The school has proven to be outrageously financially irresponsible. Period.

Mickey

The absolute worst thing about Rutgers is a horrid amalgamation of two facts: 1) Rutgers is NJ's state school and 2) NJ happens to be very, very small. As a result, RU is home to a massive commuter population, not to mention the fact that it is completely vapid during the weekends. Its not just a matter of students going home, but also away locally in the state to visit friends or family. This really has an effect, in turn, on social networking and maintaining relationships as a whole.

The worst thing about Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutger's University currently is the budget cuts which have effected course offerings. This is not the fault of the university itself, but it has caused some problems among the students who are not able to take certain courses that were previously offered.

Nicole

They limit bus transportation at different times during the year.

Regina

I dont think there really is a "worst thing" about my school. If I had to pick anything, it would probably be the casual relationships that occur so often. It is uncommon to find true love at my school.

The worst thing about Rutgers would be its vastness. Usually this would not be a terrible problem, however Rutgers seems to have a bit of difficulty maintaining stats and information on their 30,000+ student database, as more than once have I had to deal with a very unfriendly clerk behind the desk of the registar at Rutgers, and on each occassion it is a complete hassle to fix anything that Rutgers has already messed up on your transcript. Aptly named the "RU screw", it seems that on more than one occassion this has happened, and not just to me.
