Some stereotypes that are held against Rutgers and the Rutgers students definitely would fall mostly upon the idea that students seem to be STD infested. Usually when someone finds out you go to Rutgers, the first thing asked is, "Sooo...you go to Slutgers huh?" Being that Rutgers is a well-known "party" school, I guess the notion that everyone is loose and promiscuous follows through with that notion as well.

1. The first thing I hear from non-Rutgers students is usually something to the effect of, "Rutgers? How many STD's do you have?" Apparently, some study came out that said that a quarter (or some ridiculous number like that) of the student population had some sort of STD.
2. Rutgers is absolutely full of New Jerseyans--not students from other states.
3. The infamous RU Screw: the academic/professional/parking staff will take every opportunity to ruin your life and your plans for the future.

I've heard that one out of five Rutgers students have some sort of sexually transmitted disease.

There is one major stereotype about Rutgers students that everyone has heard. STDs. Somehow a rumor got started that something like one in three people at Rutgers has an STD. This led to the very classy nickname, Slutgers.

Rutgers is known as a party school and its students are known as alcoholics. When I visit other colleges and mention Rutgers, students roll their eyes and use the term "slutgers". They seem to think we have many STDS. However, they find Rutgers to be a tougher school than most and therefore view its students as intelligent.

The RU Screw. They tend to suggest taking only four classes your first semester of college, which is 12 credits. And then you'd have to take five classes, which is 15 credits, for the rest of your college career. This guarantees that you will be exactly one credit short of graduating, because Rutgers requires a grand total of 120 credits. Not a single, disgruntled freshman knows that they're about to be screwed. They're just far too excited to have made it to college to begin with.

The most common stereotype at Rutgers University is the school's tendency to "RU Screw" its students. The infamous RU-Screw takes place when a student has some kind of issue with the university (whether students don't get into a required class to graduate, don't get appropriate credit that they have earned, etc) and they simply get tangled within a web of senseless bureaucracy when the student tries to fix the problem. A student can get directed from one department to another until they realize that they are just getting the run-around, accept their fate, and officially chalk themselves up as another student subjected to the RU-Screw.
Another stereotype that I had heard through the grapevine in high school was that there is an abnormally high STD rate amongst Rutgers Students.
