Rutgers University-New Brunswick Top Questions

Diversity

The school is both as large and as small as you make it. Yes, the Rutgers is huge, and first year Intro classes fill and entire auditorium each, but the school makes it very easy to search out programs, clubs, and activities that you are/would be interested in.

The diversity of students, faculty, and surroundings at Rutgers University achieves its uniqueness. Rutgers New Brunswick consists of five different campuses - Cook, Douglass, Busch, Livingston, and College Avenue. Each campus houses a variety of people with different ethnic, religious, and geographic backgrounds. Likewise, each of the campuses has distinctive environments. There is no other school in the country where a student can claim that they have a farm, an all female school, an urban city, a WW2 Army Camp, and a Big 10 Athletic Stadium. Lastly, Rutgers University and I share the same birthday, November 10th. Revolutionary for 250 years!

While at Rutgers I had the unique advantage of being part of a tiny art school where I could get undivided, valuable attention and input. At the same time, I had the resources of a major university at my disposal. This meant that while focusing and being challenged on specific artistic pursuits, I could enhance my overall experience by enrolling in diverse courses that added to my artistic understanding of the world and what it was I was after in growing my own work.

Rutgers is a much bigger school than those I considered; almost 30,000 undergraduates attend my school. The school cannot, and will not, baby sit its students. This has forced almost every student here to gain a sense of independency and self-reliance in order to succeed. This isn't to say Rutgers doesn't have wonderful resources and advisors, which it certainly does. But, each student is going to have to take it upon themselves to utilize these resources to the best of their ability.

Rutgers University is one of the biggest research-based universities in the world. This has many advantages: one - faculty members are very diverse, which prepares one for the real world. two - there are many opportunities for research, whether it be research assistant or research volunteer. three - some professors briefly touch upon their research in classes which produces alot of interest from students.

Rutgers is a research-based university that allows many hands-on practices.

I have so many options in what to major in. That is why I came here. Plus, I get in-state tuition and it is less expensive to pay for (though still expensive)

The most unique thing about my school is the diversity in the the school body. There is no other univerisity or college that has been able to manage to bring together so many people from different areas of life, the country, and of different races and religions. It is refreshing to have such diversity and is a social learning experience, especially for those who have not had the opportunity to meet people with such different opinions on various topics of life.

Very tolerant towards religion and ethnic backgrounds. Can meet people from all walks of life at this university.

Rutgers University is a great and affordable school for those who want a great education and who still want to stay close to home. The Visual Arts Program at the Mason Gross School of the Arts is competitive, yet fun, challenging, but also worth the hard work. The classes I'm taking for my major (design) are small and the teachers are helpful. I am glad that I decided to attend an affordable state school for the arts, instead on an expensive Art School. At Rutgers I will have both an education and a professional knowledge of my intended major.

It is big diversy, yest beautifully unified.

Great school

Rutger's campus is very diverse , whcih gives students an oppertunity to be exposed to various cultures throughout the world on their campus. It also provides a very good academic ciriculum to the students to wish to persue it. Rutgers has a wide aray of different majors, so its easy to switch if need be.

Rutgers University has three different campuses. One in Newark, New Brunswick, and Camden New Jersey. The New Brunswick campus that I am attending school in has four different subcampuses. Each of these sub-campuses is drastically different from one another, so no matter where you grew up or what environment you like, there is a place for you on campus to feel completelt at home. Wether it's a city-like environment, or a rural farm area, Rutgers has it all. Along with diverse campuses, the population on campus is just as diverse.

There wasn't much of a list of colleges that I wanted to go to. It was either Rutgers or my community college and I decided to go with Rutgers because not only are there various amounts of activities to do but there are also many potential jobs I can apply for.

What makes Rutgers unique is it's 5 campuses. If you want a quiet, peaceful campus you can choose Cook. If you're a woman and you're looking for all women dorms, Douglass is for you. If you're interested in the sciences, Busch. If you're looking to enjoy yourself and go out and have fun, College Ave. And finally, if you're not quite sure what you want- Livingston, home of the freshmen.

The school spirit here is tremendous and enthusiasm is strong among the students. Rutgers also has a community feel on each different campus so there is something for everyone.

Diversity. You meet so many different kinds of people here and really learn a lot about other cultures. Most of my friends are a different religion/race than I am and that's something you don't get at a lot of places. Also, Rutgers-NB is a big university, but is made up of 5 smaller campuses. You still get that small school feel while belonging to a large university.

Rutgers was the only state university that I considered. I find it is a good deal compared to other state institutions in the NJ NY tristate area.
