Get involved at Rutgers.The best way to fit into college is to
get involved. So get out of your room and down to the student center, the computer lab, the food court, the study lounge, or the art museum. Join a student club or an intramural team. Sign up for a fitness class or a charity walk or audition for a play. Follow your interests—whether in arts, sports, community service, or anything else—and you’ll find your place at Rutgers.
Rutgers is made smaller by its many communities—and closer by its shared activities. So while you’re building your own special niche, you can still feel part of the larger Rutgers community.
Homecoming Weekend. The whole Rutgers family attends this fun-filled fall weekend, including a pep rally, alumni parade, tailgate party, and—of course—a Scarlet Knights football game.
Rutgers Day. This spring festival—featuring more than 300 free performances, tours, exhibits, lectures, hands-on activities, and more—showcases the best of Rutgers.
