Rutgers University-New Brunswick Top Questions

What kind of person should attend Rutgers University-New Brunswick?

Casey

Really, anyone can attend this school. Though the people who will do best here are those that are dedicated towards school, and will not be easily distracted by partying and other things that may get in the way. There are many distractions here, and unfortunately they get the best of a lot of people. That being said, I have met almost any type of person you could imagine here at Rutgers, and many of them do very well.

Krishna

An outgoing person that will not lose himself/herself in such a large school will benefit from attending Rutgers. A person who will search for and make use of the resources.

Allison

Someone who is friendly and wants to broaden their horizons

Ashley

Someone who won't get lost in a sea of opportunities. There are so many ways students can get involved and so many amazing opprtunities available. For example, my university (that has 35,000 students) paid for me to study human rights in Cambodia! Because it is a big school, you need to actively explore the resources that are available to students, but there are great things waiting for students who take the initiative to find them!

Garry

Rutgers University is a large university in which one can easily get loas and overlooked. Make a name for yourself by being actively involved in campus life. Writing articles for the Daily Targum is one great way in which to do this. If you are an outgoing person who does not fade into the crowd, RU may be a great choice for you.

Sara-Jean

The type of person that should attend this school is anyone. Rutgers has a very broad range of majors a person could get into.

Indra

Rutgers is best for people who like a bit of anonymity. It's a huge school so you can make a name for yourself if you want but there's always the option of blending into the crowd. You can go to class or the dining halls in your pjs, you can go out and party one night and be sure that nobody will remember you the next day- you have to really try to earn a rep or a label, so it's easy to do your own thing. Rutgers is great for people who are still finding themselves.

Ajay

This school is genrally considered to be a public Ivy in that it has strong traditions and background, and good academia. I would recommend people who are looking at an affordable quality education to attend this school. The school is also very tolerant and diverse.

Vincent

Someone who doesn't mind the big lecture halls/classes and is willing to get lost in the crowd. Dealing with the adminstration is a pain.

Jamila

The type of people that should attend this school should be open to new ideas and diversity, while also having the ability to maintain a proper balance between there social lives and schoolwork. One problem on this campus is that many students indulge in ridiculously drunken parties throughout the week.
