I just want to give everybody a headsBrightFinance
I just want to give everybody a heads up about Rutgers Business School. First of all the administration does not care about their students and the Office of Career Management is useless. All they do is critique your resume and tell you to get a job/internship on your own. Hello? We pay all this money. You're supposed to assist students in pursuing the best opportunity possible for them to succeed. That's what college is about. Anybody can just critique a resume. It's not rocket science. Second, some of the professors are a joke and have superiority complex issues. It's like their goal is to fail 1/3 of the class or stress the heck out of students until final grades are in. Also, there isn't much to do unless you live on college ave. Commuter students have hardly anything to look forward to when it comes to getting involved. My advice is that if money is not an option go somewhere else. There are plenty of schools where you can get a quality education and have a good college experience. I am graduating this year and I must say I look forward to moving on with my life.

Question
This school is very unsafe.AverageNutrition
This school is very unsafe. Almost every week there's news about another serial rapist, students getting held up outside of the dorms, robberies, hell even our president was mugged. On campus housing is filthy, at best. Students are not sociable or friendly, you won't have many friends if you don't join a frat or sorority. Town surrounding the campus is slums, there really is no reason to ever go off campus. Even if you want to leave campus, you can't. Besides the fact that you will get stabbed if you're a white person on the bus, even if you were that brave it would take you about an hour just to get to the bus stop. Food is unedible, bring a lot of money for take-outs. And if you don't live on college ave, good luck having a social life. The best you'll do is to hang out in someone else's rat infested apartment just to get away from your smelly indian roommate.

Question
The quality of theSuper BrilliantGenetics
The quality of the education outweighs the headaches from the red tape and sprawling, poorly planned campuses. The sizes of the general classes are too large and it is often difficult to get classes needed to complete the major. Available resources (academic and social) are immense.
