<p>Got denied from RU-NB... i d k where to go next</p>
<p>Hi, I hope that I can help you and others. I attended both New Brunswick and Newark. They are very different. </p>
<p>Ideal college:
On television, college is often pictured as old brick buildings around a green square grassy campus with students going to class, studying in the library, chatting with friends, attending club meetings, eating at the dining hall, or going to a fraternity party. </p>
<p>Rutgers New Brunswick:
In New Brunswick, since there are multiple campuses, each campus has a very different feel. However, one can achieve that basic television college feel by attending Rutgers School of Arts and Sciences (SAS) and living on the main New Brunswick College Avenue campus dorms. SUre, New Brunswick isn’t a fancy private school, but is pretty good and feels pretty busy during the week. The other New Brunswick campuses are a bit different, for example, Cook is a grassy setting away from a commercial area and away from fraternities. Douglass feels like Cook campus, but has women’s dorms. Busch campus provides support for Engineering and Science majors because a lot of those majors live there. And Livingston, doesn’t have a pretty campus, nor a downtown.</p>
<p>Rutgers Newark:
As for Newark, well, it is just a few buildings over like two little blocks. So, there is one library, one undergrad dorm, one grad dorm, one dining hall. And, some buildings for classes. One law school building. A parking garage for your car at night, because you can’t park overnight on street or car will be stolen. And, one student center with some activities during the week. I would say evenings, holidays, summer, weekends, friday afternoons, the place s pretty quiet. </p>
<p>Who is Rutgers Newark good for?
Rutgers Newark is a good fit for people who live nearby, who could NOT get into better ranked Rutgers New Brunswick. Rutgers Newark is good for a good education from big name school, and helpful if trying to save money and need to live at home and just go to
class. It is a very diverse place culturally. Almost all students are from NJ though, since it is state school. You can get involved in some groups, like sports team for fun, or cultural group, or club about your major. But, don’t expect Rutgers Newark to be like when you see college on TV. No big frat houses, no house parties, no students hanging on a big grassy lawn. I think it is more of a practical place, and a commuter school. It is better than a local community college, because good value for the education. But, it is certainly not like going to Rutgers New Brunswick, nor any other big name big campus fun party school. I’m not saying that you need frat parties and frat houses, I’m just saying that along with that , big schools with traditional campuses tend to have tons of students from out of state, which means they live on campus, so more dorms, more people around, more things to do, more students clubs and groups and events. Rutgers Newark is limited on those.</p>
<p>Best of luck, and transfer to Rutgers New Brunswick if you can. :)</p>
<p>I vote for Montclair state; at least there is a campus and some people do live on campus</p>
