Student review [#22896] for Communication
at Rutgers University - RU

I double-majored in Political Science and Communication; really enjoyed my time studying both majors. I did not have a major at first but through lots of trials, a variety of classes, and help from professors and academic advisors, I found the two subjects I am most passionate about. So, don’t worry if you are undecided about what you want to study. I also participated in a lot of extra-curricular activities, my favourites being UNICEF, and dance class. The main aspect of Rutgers University is its large size, which may seem confusing and scary at first. The University has 4/5 campuses, and students travel to campuses using the university’s designated buses. Despite its large size, the university is perfect for students who like to try new things and meet different people. Classes can range from single-digit attendees to 100-200 students in a lecture hall. The school provides as much assistance as you need in terms of feeling included and informed about your education. Every campus has its own perks and reputation, there is never a moment that you’ll feel bored. Everything that you need is located on or near campus, from supermarkets, barbershops, libraries, movie theatres, chapels/religious spaces, museums, cafes, and recording/dance/art/production studios, to health centers, study rooms, lounge rooms, cultural centers, sports, athletics/fitness centers, swimming pools, dormitories, parks, animal farms, greenhouses, gardens, etc. Commodities such as parking lots, kitchens, lounges, and lockers to place belongings are also there for commuter students. Other necessities such as banks, pharmacies, restaurants, gas stations, and medical hospitals are located downtown which is a walk or bus ride away from campus. The university is also next to NJ Transit, a train ride away from Trenton, and New York City.
