Rutgers the State University

Rutgers really makes it hard to write a favorable review here. The most important thing going on at Busch Campus is the research being performed here… NOT your football games. Last I checked, the football team was mediocre at best.
Rutgers routinely makes it difficult for the individuals that work here to get to their jobs. There is always precedence given to superfluous athletic events that largely makes life difficult.
There isn’t sufficient parking for anyone, at any building, ever. It really is a poor design that didn’t incorporate any foresight. Their is an urgent need to build some parking decks here to provide enough parking.
Also when it comes to snow removal or general upkeep, Rutgers is a joke. They don’t use salt in the winter making the roads and pathways extremely dangerous. In the summer the campus is overrun with geese and their droppings. It’s really unsightly.
The research and education here are both great, but the campus itself is lacking.

I have high paying job, a nice place to live, and many great memories so, mission accomplished.

With all the construction, most of the roads in and out of the campus are a mess. You will NOT be able to get to the Livingston campus on Basketball game days.
Academics: The school is focused on research — so if you are a Ph.D. candidate this is the place for you. If you are not a researcher, and an undergrad — you will find teachers not the best in the world. For the MBA candidate — if you are in the Pharma business — GO there. If not, pick another school. The Finance dept is joke — just pure academics and you are better off going to NYU for finance.

Ahh … my dearly beloved alma mater with over 40,000 students, students from all over the world, highest-​calorie sandwiches in the world, craziest parties I have ever been to … I still love & remember you to this day.
Yes, you multiple-​times screwed me with the infamous RU Screw, your office are too slow and employees are extremely hasty, but you will forever be the institution that granted me my undergrad degree and I’m thankful for the education received and the parties.
RU rah-​rah, RU rah-​rah!

WOO RUTGERS!
I guess I’m biased because I’m a Rutgers Alum, but I am a fan. The campus is huge and you have to take a bus to almost all of your classes, unless you live and pick your classes specificially. The bus system is pretty decent in the fact that they take you around to a lot of places so as students without cars it can get you from one campus to another for food and drinks. They also have a drunk bus on College Ave for late nights.
Be careful walking the streets at night, it still is in a city and there will be small crimes but nothing terrible.
The classroom sizes are gigantic. If you’re looking for a small school to go to, this isn’t for you. The parties and bar scene are perfect for «the college experience.» It has it’s moments of sucking, but, what school doesn’t? It is a huge research based school so if that’s what you’re into, it’s good for you!
Tons of places to eat and explore.
