Rutgers University - New Brunswick

Overall I would say this is a pretty good school. The academics are pretty good and no complains. The work is not terribly challenging but pretty decent. Great professors who really want to help students. As for social life, partying does somewhat dominate the weekend. If you're a guy and do not have at least 4 girls, forget it you're not getting in any party. The buses suck sometimes. But overall the peopel are friendly and good professors! Good school. Come here if you want to get a good education and have fun.

Rutgers is very similar to the real world, but a little rosier--people will rarely hold your hand, but if you work hard you can do very well and make great, lasting connections with professors and peers. The school offers zillions of student-led organizations, or you can form your own, as many of my friends did. Being involved in extra-curriculars was almost like a full-time job on top of my 16-19 credit/semester courseloads and part-time job, but I loved it. I truly believe that I could have been happy at many different schools because there are so many colleges and universities out there, and they all have their pluses and minuses. I've never regretted my choice to go to Rutgers and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
