After my first semester here, my expectations have been exceeded. While true that some of the campuses are a bit outdated (outside wise, older buildings, pavement in need of repair, ect) the insides are fairly modern and well-equipped for students. Many of the faculty/staff members are friendly, helpful, and understanding of what it's like to be a transfer student who commutes a long distance, this helped to empower a feeling of confidence within myself. I was able to transition more quickly into comfort at this university than many of my childhood schools and my community college I attended in-between. I have gotten the best grades in my entire college career here in my first semester and hope to continue to excel academically this fall and beyond!
Extremely diverse campus. It's been amazing seeing and being with people who look like me and share many cultures with. Student involvement is plentiful! I thought I would never be able to move up in any club or organization but, here I am in three organizations! With these positions, I am able to create a positive change, while building my community service skills, and narrowing in my career goals. I do wish the campus and its police did more to prevent and prosecute sexual violence/harassment on campus, regardless of their status.
First of all, I like how large the school is. I know this can be intimidating for new students, but I like being surrounded by a bunch of people. You can meet a lot of new and interesting people and make new friends! The campuses are large, but you are able to explore and find places where you are comfortable and feel at home! I have found great communities of students with common interests and have been involved with an organization, HackRU, which has been one of my favorite experiences at Rutgers!
