Rutgers University-New Brunswick Top Questions

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

Wylie

How expensive it is to get a parking pass once you are allowed to have your car on campus. Also how expensive it is to have your car here considering all the tickets, towing, damage, and everything else that happens to your car.

Lindsay

How expensive it would be!

Cheray

The work load is very heavy but as soon as you learn to organize your time around it, you will be fine. Do not stress over it because you will be able to get it all finished.

Savannah

I wish that I had known how to study for classes such as Biology and Chemistry that require a lot of timeand commitment. My high school was easy so I never learned how to do that and got good grades without putting much effort into it.

Csilla

That I didn't need to freak out as much as I did. High school work ethic is certainly different, but if you work hard naturally, then college work isn't too different.

Matt

I wish I'd known about all the clubs, activities, intramurals, etc. and how easily accessible they are.

Elizabeth

I wish I had known more about the area and the traditions. I am not from New Jersey like most of the rest of the student population, so sometimes it is hard to understand what many people might consider normal or common-knowledge.

Dan

How the college atmosphere is even more so like a typical high school division and that so many undereducated people attend.

Jesse

How awkward the campus is set up. It's a little hard to make it to class on time. Other than that I have a good time here.

Kathleen

I wish I knew that there was little to offer students on weekends who do not like to drink. The city the school is in lacks diversion apart from a bar scene open to people 21 and up.
