Rutgers University-New Brunswick Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Rachel

I wish someone would have told me right away to get prepared for the GREs to get into graduate school!

Magdalena

How they wanted me to study and how much. You never know untill your first semester and you've got all C's.

Miguel

Nothing. This school is amazing.

Vincent

How it felt like to be a small fish in a big sea.

Alyssa

Before attending this school, I wish I had known the importance of studying ahead. High school teachers of mine would mention over and over again how important it is to get a head start on reading and take high school serious. I didn't meet with college professors like some of my high school classmates did, and I didn't reseach careers and look into courses. I now regret doing so because my college experience would have been a bit less stressful had I done so.

Daniel

That the availability of dorming after your freshman year is hard to get especially if living on College Ave.

Lorenzo

I wish I had known that Rutgers was as stingy as it was and wasn't going to help me pay for school

Nicole

I wish I known how friendly the teachers really are, and that when they say they don't mind getting emails and answering questions, that they really mean it. Every student should take advantage of help from their professors.

Magdalena

I wish that I would know about more clubs and be more involved on campus. I became more involved my second year. Also I wish I would know that there are places that can help with academic advising and career services.

Emily

That the area is boring. That, even though we own a new jersey home, we wouldn't get state tuition. That housing is very unorganized and would screw me over.
