Rutgers University-New Brunswick Top Questions

The atmosphere. It feels like home living here at cook, my friends are like family and school is really interesting majority of time.

My school is best known for its' diversity and its' good graduation rate. I was attracted to this school because of the diversity and hugeness of the school. I never liked going to a one race school. My high school was diverse so I went somewhere similar to home.

The best thing about my school is how easy it is to meet new people and make new friends. Between meeting people in your or around your dorm or apartment, in your clubs, or where you work, its near impossible not to make new friends. And almost everyone here wants to meet new people and make new friends. I have to say this is probably one of the most open and friendly environments anyone could ever find.

Diversity-there are so many different types of ideas, religions, and people here that you learn, if not more, just as much in class that you do out of the classroom.

It has a wide variety of majors and interests to explore.

I feel that Rutgers was very culturally diverse and allowed me to focus academically. There was plenty of opportunity for conducting research and obtaining internships for students in their respective fields. Socially, Rutgers provided a great environment for students to make life-long friends and engage in a number of extra-curricular clubs and activities. Overall, the school had a very good mix of social and academic offerings..

The best thing about Rutgers would have to be the vast number of research opportunities it offers. Hundreds of spots are offered to undergraduates during the summer and the university tries its best to place all of the applicants into their research of choice. These opportunities will give students hands-on experience in their field of interest and better prepare them for today's competitive job market. Some students are even offered employment prior to graduation because of their familiarity of the employer through these research opportunities.

The location. Rutgers has pretty much any kind of environment one could want in a college campus. There are four different parts, Cook/Douglass, College Ave., Busch, and Livingston. They each have their own look and between all of them is the town of New Brunswick. But it's not all city, the Cook/Douglass campus has plenty of forest, field, and farm land; there's even a pond. The Busch Campus is corporate-like. Livingston is suburban; and College Ave is very standard-college-campus-like.

The number of majors/opportunities there. Rutgers is huge and at first may not be appealing at first in that way, but take advantage of all the opportunities and people there. The possibilties are endless.

The best thing about Rutgers was the diversity of the students. Within the first month of my arrival here i noticed a vast difference compared with the high school I attended. I feel that at Rutgers everyone is able to get along and create meaningful bonds with those of varying backgrounds very easily. It was truely an institution where varing ideas and viewpoints were able to flow freely.
