Rutgers University-New Brunswick Top Questions

RU screwed

Going from campus to campus for classes and having to wait for the buses. Also they are usually very crowded so it does not seem too safe.

Sometimes it is annoying to get around campus and it is also difficult to get advice from deans when you need assistance for classes.

The difficulty to get certain things done, such as scheduling classes and avoiding parking tickets.

same as above

The most frustrating thing about my school is the fact that so many of the professors who teach very difficult classes are either just not good teachers or they have very heavy accents and bad handwriting so you end up essentially having to teach yourself. It is also frustrating when the exams were designed to trick you and make you do badly in order for them to weed out students as opposed to wanting everybody to succeed.

The budget cuts. Although it is the state that alots the school money, I feel the school is mishandeling the funds it does have.

Scheduling classes online

The most frustrating thing is riding on the busses during rush hour because you'll never get to class on time. Around those "bad" times, I usually have to leave my apartment one hour before class starts to get there on time.

The financial aide and housing processes. Housing uses a lottery system that can really screw you over when it comes to getting nice, conveniant housing. Plus, there have been a lot of new students and not enough housing to support them all so this semester there have been students living in hotels in the next town over. Financial aide is frustrating because Rutgers barely gives any money to students!
