Should I go to Rutgers

Colleges and Universities A-Z Rutgers University

<p>I live about a half hour away and I half mixed feelings about this place. I want to major in computer science but I also would like to maybe have a minor or a double major in a business major. The only problem would be getting into the business school. I doubt i'd get in and if I don't as a freshman, i'd apply as a sophomore. If I don't get in then, I guess I'm screwed. I don't know....</p>

<p>I also don't really like the New Brunswick area, and as bad as it sounds, I hate the fact that there are less than 50% caucasians. (sorry i know that sounds stupid).</p>

<p>I think i'd like going to a large school with a football team and Rutgers is the only option like that in NJ basically. It would be really cheap for me to go there also.......</p>

<p>I don't know what to do. I feel like anything out of state is way too expensive and Rutgers is my only option in-state. Also, I would HATE for my dog to die while I'm away at college and I want to be close where I could come home every once in a while.</p>

<p>Suggestions?? ? ? ?</p>

<p>Don’t need racist people like you. If you want 99% white people then go to mississippi or Alabama.</p>

<p>They are cheap, really into football, and fit your narrow mind</p>

<p>you’re only considering this school because it’s close and convenient. so no, let other hard-working and open-minded people apply.</p>

<p>You want to come to Rutgers because its close and cheap?? No wai!!! I think you’ll find that boat is crowded, but anyway just come here. As for the 50% non-white thing, that was one of the most attractive things for me about Rutgers but I think you’ll find its pretty clicky and you’ll be hanging out with mostly white kids anyway :confused: Hooray for you I guess</p>

<p>Why not attend a local community college for your first year? It may be closer to home so you can commute and your grades should transfer to Rutgers as long as you do well. </p>

<p>You seem unsure, undecided, and not confident. Maybe you should talk to your guidance counselor at school; she could probably give you better suggestions than a message board.</p>

<p>if you don’t like diversity then you are definitely in the wrong part of the country. don’t even consider rutgers</p>

<p>“if you don’t like diversity then you are definitely in the wrong part of the country. don’t even consider rutgers”</p>

<p>wow, that’s pretty excellent advice, lol. </p>

<p>I’ll add to that: don’t plan on getting a job of any sort in this part of the country.</p>

<p>and the admissions essay asks “how you can benefit from and contribute to diversity” so…</p>

<p>hahha great advice guys.</p>

<p>@Ali That is hilarious!</p>

<p>But seriously, Rutgers boasts about it’s diversity.
You’re better off somewhere in the south like Bob Jones.</p>

<p>I agree with the above posters. If the diversity aspect is already bothering you, then you are in for a rude awakening if you come here.</p>

<p>

<p>Most large state schools will have some degree of diversity. You might want to go on a tour if you’re seriously considering Rutgers. If you don’t like it and still want the in-state tuition, you could look into TCNJ or Rowan…</p>
