<p>hey im going to rutgers college in new brunswick majoring in sciences.....where should i live?? does anyone know anything about exemptions from the placement tests?</p>
<p>You must take all three placement tests (math, english, and a foreign language) unless you have an AP score before the placement tests are given. The regular placement test dates have already passed, but they said it is easy to get a make-up.
For housing, living on Busch Campus would probably be eaiser because nearly all science courses are there, but you also have to decide which environment you prefer. Busch is quieter and more spread out, while College Ave campus is more lively and a traditional college campus. I'm also majoring in a science, but I decided I like College Ave better even though some of classes will be farther away.</p>
<p>yea im living on college ave too even though im majoring in the sciences. it depends what you want... college ave is just a more fun environment but busch dorms are much nicer (college ave dorms are traditional dorm rooms)... ill prob move over to busch in later years, but for my freshman year i wanted to be on college ave plus for me at least i have like 1/2 and 1/2 humanities and sciences for my freshman year</p>
<p>I'm majoring in biochem and I decided to house at busch. I didn't make the honors program (missed by 2% points in class rank... erg...) so I don't get to house at the pimpest freshman housing complex AKA McCormick Hall. But I choose Davidson as my first choice (pretty decent for freshman dorms) and then it's between Mattia and Metzger Halls, which aren't too appealing outside but oh well. So I'm hoping for Davidson and then I'm gonna work my ass off and get into the honors program as a sophomore.</p>
<p>BTW, placement tests were a joke this saturday. I finished every section before 95% of the people in my class (Scott 123) so I can relax a bit about the competition there. I'm gonna be a top student at Rutgers which is cool. Oh, and I got about 12 right out of 100 on spanish placement test but that's cool cause I'm not taking spanish EVER again!! haha Maybe French or Latin though.</p>
