Rutgers University Reviews

"Rutgers is a great in-state University, but I would stay away from Rutgers if you don't plan on actively engaging in binge drinking every weekend. Also, going to school here is very difficult for out-of-state students because you'll be around mostly in-state students who come in with an established group of friends. Rutgers is also perfectly situated between NY and Philadelphia which is a great way to escape on the weekly."

"Rutgers University is a strong choice for someone looking for a large public school. It has a diverse student body and activities for every niche. Strong sports and party scene. The academics are very good and continuing to rise in the ranks. The campus is a bit boring and the town that it is in has somewhat of a crime issue. Overall, I rate it 4/5."

"Rutgers University New Brunswick was a very interesting experience. Overall, I would say it was about a 7.5/10. This is primarily because of the friends and memorable experiences I had during my time there. To give more context, I attended Rutgers NB between 2011 2015. I was an Economics and Journalism/Media Studies Double Major. I lived on three different campuses: Livingston, Busch, and Cook/Douglas during my time there. There were definitely some pros and some cons that came with attending a BIG10 college. The school truly is what you make of it as you can become a number in this environment. It is a very large and busy school. You can get lost in the mix if you dont find your own group of friends and also join a few clubs and/or community. First and foremost, for the most part, it is up to you to navigate everything that is available. While there are resources that help you find everything in one place (school website), actually getting help from the right people takes some work. It is necessary to take your time to pummel through the plethora of resources (on the site) to find the right people and departments for all of your needs. Without leveraging these resources, it is extremely difficult to get answers. In terms of classes, utilize any sources you can find, with reviews, to get a better understanding of what you are getting yourself into. Speaking from experience, I used to just create a schedule without looking up reviews about the teacher or course. This led me to be in a few difficult classes that I barely made it out of. Use your resources and make smart decisions when make your schedule, it will me college much more enjoyable!Read Less"

"Great school. Amazing business program. Its very easy to fall in the trap of skipping classes and deciding not to go to lectures. Lecture classes are huge and its easy to get notes from people, but the more you go to class the better you will do. The professors are all real life practitioners so get to know them as much as you can for future recommendations."

"Rutgers provided me with the perfect platform and tools to learn analytical skills and grow as a professional. I had to fund my own education and therefore, I worked almost 40 hrs a week. As rigorous as the program was, it gave me the flexibility to accommodate my classes in a way that I had time to attend school and work simultaneously. Professors were very understanding of special circumstances and worked with you to help you achieve your goals."
