I absolutely love Rutgers. Having 5 different campuses in New Brunswick / Piscataway allows each student to get a unique experience at Rutgers. Each student has a different experience depending on where they live, their major, and their extracurriculars. What is so special is that students intertwine amongst each other, and groups of friends consistently overlap. Rutgers is so diverse, and so many people learn about new cultures, religions, and ethnicities from attending school here. You gain so much more than just an education at Rutgers. Lastly, the professors at Rutgers really care about each student. Professors are extremely diligent in providing one on one assistance whenever needed, and go out of their way to ensure every student feels comfortable with the material. Overall, I could not imagine myself anywhere but Rutgers!
Rutgers University is a great fit for me, let me tell you why! Entering college as a first-generation student, a minority, and from poverty was a challenge itself. Thankfully Rutgers offers many and many programs that can help you easily into college easier! For example the EOF Program at Rutgers, which not only helps you financially, it also helps you gain many college experiences before entering. I have also come across many interesting clubs that Rutgers offers, in my opinion, it is hard to feel left out. The many organizations and clubs help students feel more relaxed and enjoy the full college experience while gaining the most valuable education. Diversity is a very big thing in Rutgers, many different students fit in very different areas, the college itself is very accepting and open to making students feel comfortable as well.
The best part about Rutgers were the people. The diversity is what makes Rutgers stand out. Students and faculty from all different backgrounds, ethnicities and cultures! There are over hundreds of clubs and extracurricular activities to choose from which is why anyone can make it their home! Something I would like to see change is maybe updating some of the older facilities. Which Rutgers has already started rebuilding some of the buildings on campus!
