Rider University Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at Rider University accurate?

Amber

For the most part... a lot of the kids ARE rich and stuck up, I hate it. Way too many people party, and I have to deal with hearing the loud music, the throwing up, and I have to pay for the things THEY break. It pisses me off. While the policies are supposedly strict, hardly anything is done about it. And there are a lot of high school rejects at Rider, but also a lot of other people are very intelligent, but don't get noticed for it outside of the school. Our reputation is brought down by the rest.

for the most part

A lot of people do go home because they feel there isn't anything to do. I think Rider is very safe, people just do stupid things no matter what school you are at.

Lauren

no

Jesse

Yes lots of people do go home on weekends. If you are involved in extracurricular activities there is plenty of things to do on the weekends however.

Brandon

No

Parker

somewhat through certain incidents

no, i believe that any school can be a party school because the students chose the way they behave and if they chose not to drink and party then they won't. There are always a few students that are going to chose to do the opposite but that does not mean that everyone has to do it. There are many activities around campus for you to stay active and doing something without having to drink.... The stereotype about rider being a backpack school is partially true.. about 50{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the student body go home but i barely went home and i always had friends that were around and i always found something to do.

Well, I made 'em up, so I think they are.

Every school which has people coming from the local area is a "suit case" school. If students want to go home they are going to. However there is always something to do for students who choose to stay.
