is rutgers a commuter school?

<p>i live about 20 minutes from RU NB and so if i go i plan on commuting, i was wondering if this is a big commuter school or mainly dorming, and if its still possible to make friends, get involved, and have fun when commuting...thanks :)</p>

<p>The New Brunswick campus is not so much of a commuter school, but there are commuters here, of course. There are a lot of kids dorming here. </p>

<p>You won’t feel out of place. I know a few commuters. If you get involved in organizations (they have an off-campus student association), a club sport, or even Greek Life you’ll have fun. You can also make friends with your classmates if you form study groups and whatnot.</p>

<p>are a good amount commuters thoughh?</p>

<p>It’s a large school so there will be many commuters, although I don’t know how to define “a good amount” in terms of the number of people who commute. But I wouldn’t call it a commuter school since a lot of kids dorm here (even to the point that we had some kids on a waiting list for housing!).</p>

<p>You should check out the Off-Campus Association. You’ll get to meet other commuters.</p>

<p>ohh okay good point, thank you :)</p>

<p>I’ve known a couple of commuters. They’ve said that it takes a little more work to fit in and get involved, but it’s doable.</p>

<p>If by commuter school you mean “Does Rutgers empty out on the weekends because everyone goes home?” then the answer is definitely NOT.</p>
