The school is a large school where many employers recognize the name. This is helpful when applying to other programs and schools.

The best thing about my school is the academics. Professors and coursework challenge you to think. The classrooms are filled with discussions and the lectures make you analyze and dig deeper. This is the first school I have gone to that understands that these aspects in academics are crucial to learning. I haven't had a class yet that consisted of regergetation, assignments are structured to have you think futher and to think like your thoughts will make a difference. Rutgers has many other reasons for being a great school, this is one that is very dear to me.

The best thing about Rutgers is actually its size. Rutgers promotes leadership and involvement like no other school. "Get Involved" becomes the first slogan you consistently hear, and it works! Everyone is involved at Rutgers, every student is going full throttle into what they are interested in whether it be art, video games, world of war craft, there is a niche for any student and a campus for every student. The large size allows for many unique interactions and the 5 campus let you change your scenery so that the school never feels static. No two days are ever alike.

The best thing about my school is the amount of diversity in the student body. Had it not been for this, I would never have gotten the chance to interact with a plethora of international students. Doing so has completely paved the path to my future, as I am now studying abroad and pursuing the ability to work abroad. Rutgers' amazing study abroad programs and office has been a life changing experience for me.

I think the best thing about Rutgers is how many opportunities are available to students. The academic rigors are stimulating and challenging at times, but students truly learn a lot. There are also a wide variety of social and extracurriculur activities available to students, as well as jobs, internships, and career fairs.

The best thing about Rutgers is it's flexibility. There are so many resources available to students that it really lets anyone explore whatever they'd like, both academically and recreationally.
Alexa
The best thing about Rutgers University is that the school is very diverse. You will never feel uncomfortable or alone at this school since there are people of every race, ethnicity, religion, and sexual orientation here.

Rutgers campus is Unique in that you can have both a city (College Avenue) and a country feel (Cook/Douglass) at one university.

What is unique about my campus is that we are not secluded from the rest of the world. Students may be studying for a medical field job, and on thier way to class they will walk by one of two major hospitals here in New Brunswick, witnessing doctors and nurses attending work, just as they may be doing in the near future.
Lawrence
The school for disabled children where I did field work is phenomenal.
Jacquelyn
The best thing about my school is the atmosphere. It is very welcoming, but large enough that you meet knew people everyday. I went to a small high school, graduating with about 120 other students, so needless to say, Rutgers is a huge difference, but I've loved every second of it. The atmosphere of a such a large school can be overwelming, but close friends will be made, new hangouts will be acquired and new activities will be a natural part of life.
Arielle
The broad opportunities from a large university with the benefits of belonging to a small college campus (one of many that make up Rutgers U.).
Kevin
The size of the school. There are a multitude of helpful staff members to assist with my career goals as well as plenty of students in the same position as me that I can meet and learn from.
Gilim
The philosophy program at Rutgers is top notch. It is the most overlooked department in the whole school, ranking third best philosophy program in the English spoken world. I feel it is somewhat underfunded and overlooked by many applicants, who find more appeal in the Ernesto Mario School of Pharmacy. Rutgers' philosophy professors are world class and have inspired me to learn many new things and encourages critical thinking and academic writing.

I consider Rutgers diversity and size a huge asset. There are many oppurtinities here for anyone that wants to succeed.

The best thing about Rutgers is that it is such a big school and it has so much to offer. This allows me to explore different cultures and academic opportunities I would not have been able to take advantage of had I gone to a smaller university
