Rutgers University-New Brunswick Top Questions

What's the most frustrating thing about Rutgers University-New Brunswick?

Stephen

The most frustrating thing about Rutgers would have to be Administration. They are very slow in processing forms and anything submitted by students. This untimely fashion often causes problems for students, more affectionally called the "RU Screw". In the end things seems to work there way straight, but it only comes after wasted time trying to resolve the conflict. Administration is a huge problem at Rutgers.

Although I love my university, the size can at times be overwhelming. The size of the university and its East cost flare can be challenging in finding administrative help and guidance. People are not always warm and trusting. Knowing the right people and being fearless is key. We call it the RU Screw; however there is always a screwdriver to fix things.

In light of the size of Rutgers University, the bureaucracy can be frustrating. You really have to work to get answers from administration, and often get different answers to the same question. I don't necessarily think this is a bad thing, because it encourages students to be proactive, resourceful, and independent-- skills that are definitely required for success in life after college!

Pandi

The most frustrating thing about Rutgers is my classes sizes. I am currently a Pre-Med student and my General Biology, General Chemistry, General Physics, and Organic Chemistry courses all are in lecture halls with three hundred students or more. If you fall behind or have a question its up to you to catch up or to understand the concept.

The unhelpfullness of academic services and the lack of financial aid and available on campus housing

Francesca

The most frustrating thing is probably advising. The advisors don't really seem to care much and just want to quickly get their jobs done.

Ajay

The most frustrating thing, is that as an out of state resident tution is significantly higher for me. Other thigs are the bus systems, the school tends to admit too many students, more than they can handle, and that strains the housing and bus sytems. This results in a lot of delays and buses crammed to capacity, and some students have to live in a hotel nearby because they couldn't get on campus housing.

Rachel

The lack of parking is a big issue as well as the large classes.

Yirong

housing...too many people, and housing is too complicated. Also, it's expensive.

Karol

Assigning characteristics to an unanimated object should not come into play. I strongly believe that each one of us make "the college experience" what we want it to be. Perhaps, what dissapoints me the most is seeing hundreds of opportunities being thrown away by many not mature college students.
