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
Worst Decision of my Life.BrightPolitical Science
Worst Decision of my Life. This school is an aweful, bureaucratic shithole. If you go here, prepare to run in circles for atleast an extra year than you planned. Campuses are crap, busses overloaded, parking non-existant, teachers for the most part are ok (too many foreign speakers trying to grade 10 page essays in English though), Deans are overcompetent, unorganized, and arrogant, advisors unreachable, and the place is overpriced, yet they find any way to steal more money from you (15th edition Books, early withdrawal situations, etc). Don't go here. Don't send your kids here. Don't touch foot on this campus unless you want to walk away with shit on your shoes....

Question
If your an instate student then by allQuite BrightPreMed and Medical
If your an instate student then by all means go to Rutgers because it is cheap and you will get a decent education.

However keeping in mind said cheapness New Jersey is Broke and I predict one of 2 things, either tuition will rise alot (not really likely) or the campus will degrade (as the endowment here is pathetic). Also the campus is showing signs of age in some places with worn out staircases.

If your an out of state student (Like me) WHATEVER YOU DO DO NOT COME HERE!!!! Plain and simple this school is not worth your time and effort. (Unless they give you a full scholarship which isn't likely to be most people).

Also if your looking to score some tail. Think again, Rutgers "scenery" (from a male perspective) is like that of Hiroshima in 1946... (aka a nuclear wasteland).

And if Partying is important to you, don't bother with Rutgers. While there are good extra curricular the Party life here is nothing special. (Try WVU it is far cheaper to go to).Also the resources here are available if you look hard. However Rutgers dumps plenty of money into a football team that is pathetic. (Honestly 100million for a new stadium that they can't fill? Really?)
