Questions About Rutgers Campus

<p>Hey I'm applying to Rutgers as a Business Major and originally I hadn't thought much about applying there, but my brother said that it was a great Business school so I ended up applying. Looking more into the college, I think I would indeed like to go there if accepted, but I am just very confused as to how the college is run. Can anyone help?</p>

<p>My understanding is that there are 3 separate campuses with New Brunswick as the main campus and I applied to the Business school in that campus. When admissions looks at my app, if I don't get accepted to NB then will I be rejected from Rutgers completely or would I have a chance at the other campuses? Also, my understanding is that all three campuses are in separate towns but you could end up having a few classes on a separate campus as opposed to your normal one. How does that work?</p>

<p>I'm sure this is all really basic stuff, but I'm just a little confused so I was hoping someone could help..</p>

<p>Did you apply <em>only</em> to the Rutgers Buisness School in New Brunswick? If you did, and get rejected, you can’t be accepted to the Camden or Newark Buisness Schools as you did not apply to them.</p>

<p>I’m not entirely sure. I’m going to need to check to make sure. Is it worth it to go to Camden/Newark if I don’t get into the New Brunswick Business school or is NB the better campus?</p>

<p>Okay so with a little more research, NB is more like the honors campus? I have a 3.2 GPA 1810 SAT score, so NB seems reallyyyy hard to get into…</p>

<p>My son got an e-mail to from Rutgers accepting him to the NB campus in the Business School…It is a strong business program with good ties to area businesses for internships…great value for in State folks…</p>

<p>NB isn’t the “honors” campus… but it is supposedly the hardest to get into…according to stats.</p>

<p>Camden is the easiest to get into
Newark is the second easiest to get into
NB is the hardest to get into</p>

<p>Although all three are great campuses.</p>

<p>Rutgers NB, Newark, and Camden are all technically different schools - you have to apply to them separately. NB is the hardest to get into because it’s the “main” campus - it offers more and has better student life. It’s not for “honors”, it’s just the most prestigious/popular. </p>

<p>Within NB there are five “campuses” about 10-20 minutes away from eachother and there are buses that transport students between them constantly. I think that’s what you’re thinking about when you say that you’d have classes on different campuses.</p>

<p>Okay thanks a lot everyone for the information. It makes a lot more sense now. I applied all to all three of the business schools so hopefully one will pull through. I know people have been New Brunswick is kind of the “main” campus, but are the other ones good too or is it not worth it to go to Rutgers if I don’t get accepted to NB? </p>

<p>Damn, I really need to go on a campus tour soon. I live in Mass. so it’s been kind of a problem to go and see the campus.</p>

<p>New brunswick should be the SCHOOL of choice among camden, newark and NB.
Newark is alrite.
do not go to Camden. i repeat do not go to Camden.</p>

<p>Rutgers University at New Brunswick consists of…four main campuses. (all four campuses are pretty close to each other. Bus system will take you to different campuses)</p>

<p>Busch, Livingston, College Ave, Cook/Douglass
<a href=“http://maps.rutgers.edu/maps/default.aspx[/url]”>http://maps.rutgers.edu/maps/default.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Yes Cook/Douglass is technically 2 but they are gay for each other and so they are categorized as Cook/Douglass Campus.</p>

<p>In my opinions you should’ve applied to </p>

<p>New brunswick business
newark business
New brunswick SAS</p>

<p>oh ok cool that’s basically what I changed my app to be (NB Business, NB SAS, Newark Business) because looking at Camden a little more it looks like it’s pretty much just one building? Regardless, I wouldn’t go there anyway. </p>

<p>I’m going to take a tour soon regardless though because the way my transcript looks like, I think I would prob have to go into New Brunswick SAS as a pre-business major and THEN switch into NB Business later on which seems kinda stupid. But whatever like I said, if the campus is nice enough, I might go to Rutgers…</p>

<p>Since the first year you take basic courses anyway, it probably doesn’t matter if you start in the SAS program and then transfer to Business the next year. I would think being in New Brunswick would be more important. As a matter of fact, this is only the second year Rutgers NB is directly admitting Freshmen into Business.</p>

<p>Honestly, starting in SAS won’t be a problem at all. You’ll have a bunch of gen eds to do and you can apply to business after one year if you need to. No worries and good luck!</p>

<p>On your application it should have an option for you to apply to multiple campuses. Typically people default either NB School of Arts and Sciences or Newark School of Arts and Sciences as one of their choices. The main difference there is which location you want to be in. There are also some differences in the structure too but I’m not certain exactly how.</p>

<p>The regional campuses are Newark, New Brunswick, and Camden.</p>

<p>Newark and Camden are small campuses and very closed in, though Newark has a few off-campus facilities in Downtown Newark.</p>

<p>Rutgers New Brunswick is very large and split between the municipalities of Piscataway and New Brunswick. It is divided into 5 residential campuses - College Avenue, Douglass, and Cook in New Brunswick and Busch and Livingston in Piscataway. These campuses are all part of the same school, and attached together by a campuswide Mass Transit system, though many students try to take classes on the campus on which they reside (not always possible) or if commuting select one core campus when they schedule.</p>

<p>There are two business school campuses and I believe, and they are Newark and New Brunswick. I am not sure if a business program exists in Camden, but it is definitely possible. Both offer Undergraduate programs but I believe that the MBA program is in Newark.</p>
