Question
Rutgers New Brunswick offers diversity, a fun socialQuite BrightBiology
Rutgers New Brunswick offers diversity, a fun social scene, experience, and most importantly a quality education for a relatively cheap price. You'll meet all types of people from all around the world. I think the success that you will have at this University will solely depend on you.

Keep in mind that this University is huge! You are a number amongst 35,000+. Be realistic, if you want a professors attention, then come to class early (chat them up) and sit up close. Classes depend on the teacher and the size. For larger classes they have recitations (you meet with a small group of students and a TA). Attendance is sometimes mandatory, it depends on the professor.

The bus system is pretty cool and they have apps to tell you when the next bus will come (super helpful). At each bus stop there's a screen that tells you when the next bus is coming, which is almost always reliable. Like a city, some stops are busier than others so push-and-shove a little, because no one wants to be late! Commuters have parking lots, some lots more expensive than others. The social scene is sooo much fun! Clubs, and events for everyone with all kinds of interests! Some student centers are more exciting than others, and same goes with the food.

It is a great shcool and representative of the world. There are all kinds of people here, races, religion, socioeconomic class... no cliques. You can be who you want to be while also meeting people like you and maybe not so like you who you will learn from.
