When people hear the name "Rutgers University" they instantly think "Party school!" But as a student here, I know that's not true. Rutgers students are some of the most hardworking and studious I've ever met, and with good reason. Our school has some of the top-ranked programs, and we all need to put our best foot forward. You'll always see kids in the library and computer lab studying and doing their work. And when the weekends roll around, their are many other things to do if parties aren't your thing. New Brunswick is a big city filled with so much to do and see. One of the greatest Rutgers experiences is attending a Scarlet Knights football game! The Zimmerli Museum is free for anyone with their student ID. There are plenty of awesome, unique restaurants in the downtown area. New Brunswick is also know for its awesome underground music scene. And if you're into theater, there's always the George Street Playhouse and the State Theater. There is truly something for everyone at Rutgers. Don't be fooled by the rumors! We're a lot more than just a party school.
