Rutgers University-New Brunswick Top Questions

nothing

Some campuses are falling apart, with dated or aged classroom materials. The school board is too focused on football.

The overcrowdedness.

I hate the big lecture halls because I feel like I never learn as much as I would if I were in a small class. I love living in my sorority house, but the initial reason I chose to live here was because my lottery number was too low to receive decent on campus housing, due to the number of students in the lottery system. Also b/c of the large school size, I do not have my own personal academic advisor & sometimes its frusterating going to a different person each time who doesn't know you or your situation.

drunk kids do damage to everything including cars, buildings, walls, each other, etc.

The crowded bus system, everyone is trying to get on a bus, and there is no room for movement.

the food is not so healthy

The work load consumes a lot of time so it's hard to work part time and support myself.

The worst thing is probably the financial aid system. Because of budget cuts and the lowering economy, plus the increasing size of the school, it is very hard to get financial aid or find other ways of making money.

Though the student population is highly diverse, the different campuses make it difficult to interact with people of different ethnicities because, for example, a lot of science classes are taken by indians, chinese, etc, on busch campus, while a lot of white people take history, psychology, and journalism classes.
