<p>I'm going to be a freshman in the pharmacy program at RU next year. Where should I dorm? and is honors housing available to me or not? if so, which campus? and do you think it's too late to get busch dorms...because that would def be my first choice if honors housing wasn't available.</p>
<p>The honors program is different for pharmacy (you can apply if you have a 3.5 GPA sophomore year)…so no, honors housing wouldn’t be available. Most pharmacy students dorm at Busch (Livingston is also recommended on the RU Pharmacy website). Apply for housing ASAP – it’s early April, and you may still have a chance.</p>
<p>yup as mizuiro said there aren’t honors dorms for first year pharmacists.
Housing is on a first come first serve basis so apply quickly. Cook/douglass with science classes on busch/livingston is going to suck!</p>
<p>i just want to know if rutgers is similar to high school. since so many people from my school are going there, are all of us going to end up like hanging out together? am i going to meet a lot of new people…and is there going to be diversity? i’m really looking for a new experience and rutgers doesn’t seem like it for me right now. i feel like its all the same people and all the same drama…
i’m dorming on busch if that makes a difference</p>
<p>it’s not the same as high school, but it can be if you want it to. I know a lot of people who just stick with their friends from hs and hang out with the same kids, and they seem relatively content, so good for them. but i only see kids from high school when i want to, and the occasional sighting of a high school acquaintance is typical and brief, but not too frequent. </p>
<p>remember, rutgers is a very large school. even if there are 100 kids from your high school coming here, there are 30,000 other people for you to meet and hang out with. and in a large state school with an eof program, there is diversity. however, newark is the most diverse rutgers campus and that’s the campus that makes rutgers the most diverse college in the country. also people have this notion that college students are different than high school students, but they overlook the fact that most people in high school eventually go to college. so as a result, you will probably see the same types of people from high school here at college (and that goes for all colleges, btw). people don’t automatically become more sophisticated or intellectual or whatever just because they’ve graduated high school and are now in a different, college environment (and i’m saying that in the most non-judgmental way possible)</p>
<p>in short, rutgers is a very different experience for me than high school was, but it can feel like high school if you make it.</p>
