Rutgers University-New Brunswick Top Questions

The most frustrating thing are the exams for the science classes like Biology and Chemistry.

It is too big.

Rutgers has an enormous student body. It can be easy to blend into the crowd and go unnoticed for all four years. With this vast number of students, there is also extreme academic competitiveness amongst everyone. Size can definitely pose a problem to someone who is shy or has trouble socializing. However, Rutgers does its best to make the transition from highschool into college go smoothly and offers a lot of clubs and activities, almost all of which are created and run by students themselves, to appeal to a wide variety of interests.

there are too much work.. and classes are too big to concentrate

Large class sizes

The deans appear to have your best interests at heart on the surface, but with some, enhanced interaction with them proves that they have no real motivation to assist students, rather their only motivation is their own personal gain and keeping students in line so they (the deans) do not look bad.

The fact that they don't have enough on-campus housing and that students may have to live in hotels.

The most frustrating thing about the school is the spread of the campuses. On New Brunswick alone there are 5 separate campuses that classes maybe held on. Sometimes when registering for classes, you may end having classes on 3 different campuses in one day. ALthough they do provide buses for transportation, there is a lot of commute time to and from classes and some days the buses are so packed you can't always get on.

Not getting classes you want.
