I went to Rutgers for both my undergraduate and graduate degrees. I had an extremely positve expereince for both. Academics: For undergrad I double-majored in History and Philosophy. At the time, (early 2000s), Rutgers had one of the top-rated Philosophy programs in the country. On the whole even some of my professors who were relatively famous, such as Colin McGinn and Ernest Lepore were very accessible and I got to know them personally. McGinn wrote me a recommendation to library school. I also met William Dowling in the English dpt. who I still visit with. I had very positve experiences with the vast majority of my teachers. There was a huge variety of interesting classes. People talk about Rutgers being a big school, and it is true that the general classes that people take to fulfill requirements are large. However, the advanced classes in your major are small. There is even a history seminar with only 10 people. History major has an iternship program which set me on my career as an archvist. I also got my Masters of Library and Information Science degree at Rutgers and I can't say enough good things about the professors there either. Social life: One of the main advantages is that Rutgers has all kinds of people and its really hard to get bored. I lived in many different places, met people from every campus and all walks of life in New Brunswick. I had diverse part time jobs. There are a lot of extracurriculars. I DJed in Livingston Student radio. New Brunswick has changed somewhat, there aren't as many coffee shops now, but there are still lots of bars and restaraunts, but its the people who make the scene. Something for everyone, convient to New York too. I loved living in New Brunswick on and off campus.
