Rutgers University has been a place of growth and opportunity for me. The sheer size of the school means there’s something for everyone, whether it’s academics, research, clubs, or athletics. I was initially worried about getting lost in the crowd, but I quickly found my niche through student organizations and smaller class discussions. The professors are experienced and passionate about their fields, and there are plenty of academic resources available if extra support is needed. One of my favorite things about Rutgers is the energy on campus—there’s always something going on, from cultural events to football games. It’s a school that challenges you but also provides the tools to succeed, and I’m grateful for everything I’ve learned here so far!
