r/rutgers

Rutgers has produced a lot of famous alumni but who do you think is the most famous overall?

so I’m a newly admitted student who will be commuting using the trains to and from school. one-way trip is two hours and I really really wanted to move out of my house but sadly my mental health is not worth $15,000 lol.

I have talked to my guidance counselor here at my high school and she’s amazing and was in the same boat as me and told me when she commuted to a different school she would sleep in study areas and like shower in the gyms [she doesn’t tell me this to like give me dumb ideas, but she knows a lot about what’s been going on bc im quite literally a mini her and genuinely just means to give me hope] and so I was wondering if there are places to do the same? as I’ve found only one study area ask that is actually open for what looks like 24/7.

I know people who are going to the school and dorming but I don’t want to intrude on them and I also am required by my parents to pay $1000 a month for my tuition so I can’t afford to pay for any sort of motels or anything down there. Is there any areas to study or things that one could lay down for three hours at like two in the morning lol? or literally anything is helpful, thanks!

Deadass. Spirit shut down and now I can’t get home. Thank god I live off campus so I can just stay here. Can’t imagine what I would have done if I was in campus housing and would’ve had to gtfo no matter what😩

My last semester at Rutgers has been filled with some of the most mind-bogglingly idiotic people I have ever met, and I am very glad that its over. The classes I am taking are mostly full of upperclassmen. The stupidity I have witnessed since January cannot be attributed to senioritis. It was genuinely full of baffling behavior that amazed me every week. So many people in one of my upper-level bio labs could not follow basic directions in the lab manuals. How do these people cook for themselves or follow recipes? I am truly shocked that some of these people have made it this far in the curriculum without being weeded out. These are our future medical professionals. It also seems as if all basic etiquette has gone out the window. In one of my small lectures of <20 people, there were constant interruptions during lectures and presentations from people having conversations and then asking the stupidest fucking questions because they did not pay attention at all. I really do not consider myself a teacher's pet or an ass kisser, but some people have gotten way too bold with arguing over exam questions, partial credit, and test material. I guess the boomers and Gen X are right about us, we're all dumb and entitled.

debating between it. part of me wants a fresh start, other half just wants a roommate i can already trust

What is the quickest way to get into the city

I keep seeing different colleges inviting guest singers to perform so was wondering if rutgers does. Knowing rutgers I'm assuming not but maybe I don't know something.

Guy walked up to me and asked me for a dollar and I realized it was my landlord, he apologized when he recognized me and walked away. Dude why is he homeless. Why doesn’t he just live at the house he rents to us. I’m so confused.

Not even tryna study that late into the night but I just saw LSM closes at 6pm 😭 Is there any place I can go to study at least until 10pm?

can I study at the honors college if i’m not an honors student?

Hi guys I’m a freshman at Rutgers Newark and I’m planning on transferring to nb my junior yr hopefully. For my first semester my gpa was a 3.7 and my second semester(current) is a 3.8. If I get like a 4.0 for next semester then apply to transfer, how likely im I to get in? Also is there anything I should do to increase my odds?
