Rutgers
is a good university for a certain type of student-
those who are self-motivated and independent. You will not receive
much attention unless you search with some tenacity. Instead you
are left on your own. However this can work towards
your benefit by making you more self reliant. However other
times it made me feel neglected and simply a random
number bouncing around. Since over 90 percent are instate, the
campus clears out on the weekend (at least on Busch
campus) The college is very hard to get around since
there are 5 campuses (4 of which I had class
on in one semester) and the bus system is poor.
For this reason many students did not attend class.
I felt that the atmosphere was not competitive as students
did not seem concerned with school work. The college lacks
a closeness or togetherness (due to the large size and
spread out campuses and lack of exciting athletic teams) Spirit
and pride lacked from what I see. Rutgers is a
good state school academically. Professors are a lottery- some our
great, some are bad. You must do research and find
the ones which are good. Some departments are very strong.
The computer science department is ranked in the top 20
nationally and I did harder work than a friend at
Hopkins. Also strong are engineering, pharmacy, and poli si. English
and psych are also good. However I felt that students
around me were not as interested in learning and pushing
themselves. Even extracurricular activities were weak, as many students did
not care about them. The key to succeeding at Rutgers
is finding friends who match your interests and researching which
professors and classes to take. You can find amazing professors
who care, however you could float by and never know
a professors first name (or last for that matter). RU gives some great scholarships and therefore is appealing, yet
few students realize how the campus is split up into
different colleges - Rutgers, Douglass, Livingston, Cook - While these
colleges have different requirements to get in (Rutgers College being
the hardest) you have classes with all the colleges which
seems confusing. Many people love Rutgers, some who go there
disdain the place - my advice is to visit and
see how it fits you. It has an extremely diverse
group of students yet the closeness that many students experience
at high school is lacking.
