| Why Rutgers? |
The diverse environment that Rutgers has to offer is one
of its finest qualities. The University offered
the chance for me to be part of a community which
encourages dialogue and learning between students
of all kinds of backgrounds, and to me that has
been a remarkable experience. Inside and out of
the classroom there are opportunities to learn not
only from your professors, but from your peers as
well. |
