Rutgers University - New Brunswick Reviews
With the whole teaching union controversy, which could be easily solved with offering well-deserved contracts to amazing professors, they instead allocate 780k to the president of Rutgers, whose duties are about managing all aspects of the university.
With such a large population, and with the beginning of semester inevitably leaving students waiting for the third bus to their stop because other buses are too full, broken or leaky, you'd think transportation could improve.
Opportunities for research, student-to-teacher ratio -- out the window. You're either luckily selected out of a giant pool, or you go all four years with having applied to the Aresty program diligently and getting no shot.
Rutgers boasts that it has a high rate of employment post-graduation, but everyone I know is out of a job.
Improve from the inside!
Huge alumni base, brand recognition, and many career opportunities nearby (it's between two major urban areas). I interned at a Fortune 500 one year; hopped on the train to the city in the mornings and came back to my classes in the evening.
And, similar to NYC, no one cares about you here. There's merits in anonymity. No one is spoon-fed here; it prepares you for the real world!
Favorite classes were from the Western Philosophy department (ranked #2 in the world - once #1). Best faculty!
