I attended the Rutgers College campus and graduated with a BA in Biology in 1992. Really the only good thing about the school was low state subsidized tuition. Overall I hated attending so large a university where you are basically just a number and are taught by teaching assistants that often didn't speak fluent english. Quite often I was unable to register for classes I wanted because there was too much demand and they closed. Career counseling was terrible and didn't help me understand my personality at all - leading me to go to chiropractic professional school in a field I eventually despised. Huge classes were the rule for most of my classes. Overall I got the impression that the school was much more interested in building new buildings rather than really teaching students anything of value. If I had it to do over again I would have preferred a smaller college with better faculty. Rutgers really was a place of last resort where you get what you pay for. I have heard there are a few outstanding departments there but for most of the students attending the education is nothing special and the reputation undeserved.
