Student Life
Campus life
Think of Rutgers University–New Brunswick, with about 43,000 students, as something like a lively and vibrant city. And just as the best small cities have a fun mix of neighborhoods, each with its own identity, so do the five smaller residential campuses of Rutgers University. At each campus, you’ll find everything you need—student centers, dining options, residence halls, computer labs, classrooms, libraries, student lounges, and lots more.
Sports facilities
Long before varsity athletics provided an outlet for youthful energies, the men of Rutgers, like so many of their counterparts at the other colonial colleges, were privately challenging students from other schools to meet them “on the banks” for a little friendly competition.
In fact, the Rutgers student body is credited with initiating the first intercollegiate contest in football in 1869 and later with starting collegiate ultimate frisbee in 1973. Both of these efforts were student driven and student supported with little, if any, assistance from the University.

Student Reviews
Rutgers University the place for me
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
I chose Rutgers University for its depth of programmes that are offered in both English and in French which I have used for 2 Bachelors and my Masters degree also. I'm much more familiar with Science en Français. The Student body and the Profs are outstanding.
Good Professors.
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
The professors are top notch, I'll give the school that much. However I think that the course offerings leave much to be desired.
Moving for Education
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
I had to study online and that's not the best way for me to learn. Also, the school is a bit expensive for me.
