And it is semi-true. A lot of people do go home on weekends, however if you try and find people that stay there is a lot to do. People do stay you just have to look for people and things to do.

1. For some reason, the freshmen tend to go home a lot, but as people get more comfortable at Rider, and go up in their years, people tend to go home less and less
2. Rider is just a few minutes away from a trainstation that goes straight into NYC and just 40 minutes from Philly. There are malls and great shopping in the area, especially if you head over to Princeton, which is only a few minutes away. Rider also has a lot of off campus trips to see Broadway shows in NYC, white water rafting, baseball games, and much more. Lastly, there are always events going on on campus. There is no reason for anyone to ever be bored.

Not at all. Are some people wealthy? Of course. You'll find that anywhere you go, but a majority of them still don't piss away money. As for classes, of course there is slight truth to it but for a minute population. Most people go to class and actually study.
Sarah
They are, completely. But once you get the hang of it, it doesn't really matter.
Ray
Not really. Rider is just really small compared to the other schools. I do believe Rider is a good school because I work with stuck up millionaires and they wouldn't lie.

For the most part, they are. However, there is quite a lot to do on the weekends such as bronc buffets, bingo going to basketball games, and off campus trips. Even though weekends at Rider are full of things to do, I do find that a majority of students either go home or travel off campus friday nights and do not return until sunday night or even monday morning; leaving the campus to seem like a ghost town.

Actually, many of the sororities and fraternities on campus require a high GPA. They also look to give back to the community. Many students are not involved in Greek Life, but because of Rider's size that is one of the major social scenes on campus. There is more to do on campus then just drink, because of Rider's location we have New York City and Philly.

It's what the school is most well known for but there are some really strong non-business programs. While the majority of students aren't from that far away there is a community of students, myself included, that live farther away and stay on campus except for breaks
