Rutgers University-Rutgers College

Pros: diverse, rather affordable for in-state.
Cons: bus system, location, horrible downtown area, fines for everything, NO SCHOOL PRIDE

It's been a while since last I wrote an Epinion. I'm no longer doing this for the money now, because let's all be frank here - we ain't earning any! But that doesn't concern me anymore. Ironically, I'm here writing an Epinion about Rutgers because I...

Pros: Lots of people out and about (if meeting people is what you're looking forward to)
Cons: I hear that it is hard to study - too many parties

I graduated from Cook College in 2001. I know I didn't actually attend Rutgers College, but I have been in classes located on College Ave, and I have also been in a few of the dorms there. Well, here is what I have to say about the place...

...

Pros: Melting Pot School
Cons: Secluded Cultures.

Walking onto Rutgers University, I felt as if I was entering another dimension, something like the United Nations, where I saw almost every different possible culture and race. I think that is what makes this school stand out. I think that it's...

Pros: Well kept, clean, nice atmosphere
Cons: far apart

First off, Rutgers does not have "a campus"...it has campuses. That's right, more than 1. In fact, there are 5: College Avenue, Busch, Livingston, Cook and Douglass (the last two are generally classified as one large campus, however).
...

Pros: Opportunity
Cons: Fend for yourself

Over 200 years ago, this country founded it's eighth colonial institution of higher learning. Since then, Queens College, later named Rutgers, has never looked back. It is the only University today that is a Colonial College, became a Land-Grant...

Pros: Lots of Majors, Lots of Scholarship opportunities, Different Cultures, Forced to deal with people
Cons: The spread out campuses, RU Screw, indifferent attitude gives school a bad rap

A school or any other event in life is only as good as what you put into it. Having gone to RU through default, I hated my first year there. They offered me too much money not to go there. I was lost in a sea of students. I was used to getting one on...

Pros: Good education
Cons: Too large for many students

Being in the middle of my junior year at Rutgers University, I can say that I think I pretty well understand the school. After all that I have seen about this place, I cannot say that I would recommend it to anyone. RU does have it's good points....

Pros: um...no
Cons: School couldn't care less about you.

Alright. I just want to say that everyday there is something new to criticize about Rutgers. We already have a President at Rutgers who demeans minorities which caused a big stir a few years ago. Along with our inconsistant transportation,...

Pros: At least it is part of the AAU
Cons: lacks luster, rude administration, no sports, hideous campus, crime, weather, New Jersey is awful

Rutgers University is a school with many campus branches spreading over the entirety of New Jersey; and every single campus has one of many things in common: DEPRESSION.
Before I applied to colleges, I had to visit Rutgers on my own because for all...

Pros: Good Talent
Cons: Good Talent playing for other schools.

The most popular thing you hear about Rutgers athletics these day is the almost winless 1-10 football team. True, it is really pathetic that this is a division I team, which last year only won by one point over a division II team. Sadly that was...

Pros: New friends
Cons: Size, location, faculty

I came to Rutgers, not by my own choice, but more as a favor to my father who is an employee here. Financially, and only financially, this school was the best choice for me! On a personal note, nothing at RU appeals to me. That is not to say that it...

Pros: Excellent School for less Money
Cons: Not given its props

I am surprised at the bad rap that Rutgers is getting. I found it to be an excellent school. I was accepted at 10 out of 13 universities I applied to and two of which included Dartmouth and Seton Hall University. I wanted to go "far, far away...

Pros: Intercampus busing exists
Cons: Not very adequate

Rutgers transportation is one of the gripes about Rutgers that just about everyone at Rutgers agrees on. First of all, some background about the rutgers mass transportation system. Rutgers University, New Brunswick, is composed of 5 campuses, none,...

Pros: Good academics
Cons: Bus system,class selection, size of classes, size of school, food....

I came to Rutgers as a disenchanted youth, unaware of the harsh reality of Rutgers University. First off, while there are 30,000 people at Rutgers College, there are 45,000 people in all at Rutgers New Brunswick. This can cause a huge number of dilemmas...

Pros: efficient and courteous
Cons: hard to contact by phone

Let's face it...financial aid at ANY school across the country is a nightmare. There's no getting around it; they want to know EVERYTHING about you! The case is the same at Rutgers, but if you do everything right, Rutgers' Financial Aid Office really...
