In my opinion, Rutgers is worth the tuition costs. However, you have to be assertive with everything from getting academic help to dealing with administration. The Science and Psychology Departments have a good reputation and are cutting edge with research. So, if you plan on going to professional or grad school, get involved with your professors and do research. You have to play the game to get into grad school.

To be honest, I got my jobs through connections and chance meetings - being in the right place at the right time. Unfortunately, success seems to be10% knowledge and 90% networking/bullshitting skills in today’s world. Don’t rush to a major. Remain liberal arts and explore different careers. To get a real idea of what a field is like, get in contact with someone who actually has that job. Don’t waste time at career counseling. You want to know realistically what the job is like and what that job pays.

Finally, have fun. Don’t stress out and try to squeeze a job into college if you don’t have to. I worked my way through and even though I had no choice, it sucked. I held good jobs in the drug industry and carried a full course load at Rutgers. That led to stress and not going out too much. There will be plenty of time for work and stress after graduation. Go out, make friends, have sex, etc. It flies by. If you have any questions that you think I can help you with, shoot me an email.
