Rutgers University-New Brunswick Top Questions

If the person is more comfortable with in a smaller school environment then Rutgers is not the college for them. This university is very large and while there are many small sized classes, there are also many large lecture hall classes. Also if the person is uncomfortable with living in a dorm where there is only one big bathroom on each floor then they should not attend this school, especially as a freshmen.

The kind of person that shouldn't attend this school are those people that aren't ready to commit to an intelligent learning environment and have fun while doing so. It is a dynamic learning experience where people are encouraged to do more for themselves, and consequently have more freedom because of it: both academically and socially. If you like being babied around, then this college isn't for you.

The type of person that isn't very well suited to the Rutgers University environment is a one who perfers to watch and oberseve rather than submerge in the university enivronment. At Rutgers, the students engage both in the classroom and on campus. The campus life makes up a huge chunk of the Rutgers experience, so if one is more apt to remain in the dorm room, Rutgers isn't the best choice. My advice for the future Rutgers student- get out into the commmunity and experience college life.

The only people who shouldn't attend Rutgers are overly traditional, conservative people from the middle of nowhere. It may be a culture shock. Or maybe it's perfect for them, just what they need.

Any person who does want to feel like that they are "stuck" in college should not attend Rutgers. While it is only an hour train ride from New York City, unless you have a car, you are going to be stuck in a city with little job opportunity and nothing to do. Some enjoy the feeling of living in one large college campus or town, but if you are not one of those people, then Rutgers is not the place for you.

I personally would like to recommend this school for everybody since Rutgers has so much to offer. For those who want smaller, quiet, less sophisticated schools, Rutgers is not the one.

The type of person that shouldn't attend Rutgers is a person not open to trying things out. Rutgers is a highly diverse school teeming with different oppurtunities around every corner. If you don't go out of your comfort zone and try new things you'll see that you won't have that great of a time. When I went outside of my comfort zone I found I was having a lot more fun. If you aren't willing to try new things or think outside the box you will probably not get everything out of Rutgers.

People who desire a more intimiate college experience should not come here. It is gigantic and impersonal. It has three or four campuses spread across New Brunswick which can be reached by bus or car, aside from the one the student resides on. If you do not want large crowds of people, huge lecture classes and filled dining halls, then do not come here.

This school is rather large and can be a bit overwhelming at times. Individuals that are not self sufficient, focused, driven, and mature should not attend this university. Students who are not used to relying on themselves will not do very well here.

Someone who feels overwhelmed in a busy environment and needs indidivual attention in the classroom. Freshman/sophomore classes start with hundreds of people. If you are not self-motivated you will be unable to complete work and keep up with the work load.
