Campus Life
- Rutgers university has 4 campuses. It's in New Jersey, nearby towns. Campuses are Cook Douglass and College Ave in New Brunswick city and Busch and Livingston campus in Piscataway city. Each campus has its own library, sports recreation area, and health centre. There are many fests mainly cultural fests, rutgers day, hotdog day, etc.
- There are many clubs at Rutgers, like cultural clubs, the cloud computing club, and the graduate students club. I am part of the Rutgers Mobile App development club. Rutgers also has many hackathons, like HackRU and HackHers.
Accommodation
- Found accommodation by asking seniors, and we also found reviews from Apartments.com and Zillow.com. Monthly base rent for our flat is 3175, trash is 20, the admin fee is $35, and the sewer fee and water fee are around 60 dollars, respectively. My share is around 640-650, depending on other utilities. Facilities include, Concierge Service, Package Management, Dry Cleaning Partnership & Groceries Refrigeration, Onsite Management & Maintenance Team, Workspace Lounge, Printer Access and Starbucks Coffee Self-Serve, 24-Hour Fitness Center & Tonal, Dry-Saunas, Yoga Studio & Cycling Studio with Peloton, Resort-Style Pool, Outdoor Grills, Dog Run, Expansive Resident Lounge w/ Media Room, Work from Home Lounge & Private Events Space, EV Charging Stations, Private Parking Garage w/ Assigned Parking, Butterfly MX Video Intercom & Controlled Access.
- I didn't face any issues while finding the accommodation. I highly recommend Renaissance Plaza Square apartments to future students. The nearest bus stop is a 5-minute walk from the apartment building. It's like a 15-minute drive to the college campus. Indian students generally live here because it's near downtown.












Likes
- The campus was amazing
- There were multiple clubs for every interest
- The teachers were really helpful
Dislikes
- There were certain safety concerns

- The campus buses were extremely helpful but on weekends they didn’t function too well
Campus Life
-
Campus infrastructure was amazing. There were some really old buildings with historical significance and some really cool new buildings. We have an art museum, multiple gyms and countless other fun places.
-
We had the best festivals and almost everyday there was some event happening somewhere. All the events were mostly free except for a few exclusive ones.
Accommodation
- I stayed off campus because on campus accommodation is very expensive. I found accommodation through a Facebook group.
- The accommodation was in a very bad state when I got there so I had to clean everything up and it was a bit of a struggle. Finding accommodation was hard too because of scammers.
- I would recommend not paying out until you’re sure about the authenticity of the renter.
Likes
- Extensive library with lots of books, articles, journal entries etc
- Easily approachable professors, who offer excellent guidance and reply almost immediately to emails
- Wide variety of cultural programs, clubs, activities etc
Dislikes
- Long distances between each campus. Always need to take a bus
- Weather is very cold sometimes
- There are no other things that I dislike as of now
Campus Life
- New Brunswick has 5 campuses in total. It is spread around the entire city of New Brunswick. There are more campuses in Newark, Camden and Stratford focusing on health sciences, etc.
- A lot of events like career fairs, Friendship Fridays, Rutgers Day, and many more happen all around the year. There are literally at least 2 events happening every day.
- There are multiple student organisations, study clubs, sport clubs, research groups, and many more, some of which require a small yearly subscription and some are free.
Accommodation
- I connected with people through LinkedIn and spoke to a few people for accommodation leads. After conducting some field research, I gave them my preferred location and renting limit.
- Initially, it was very challenging to get an accommodation since I wasn't getting frequent replies. I joined WhatsApp groups to receive regular housing advertisements, which helped quite a bit. I finally got a recommendation through a friend I reached out to through LinkedIn for a place to stay.
Accommodation
I used to live in a shared apartment and my cost of living used to be around $800-$1000 per month.
I chose it for the unique program of Master of Business and Science. It has courses in both technical and business domains.
The size of the school was one of the big reasons. I like having a really large school to live and work on. The school is also really well known so getting jobs after would be very convenient. They also have good internship opportunities.
