The Melting Pot

While overall there are more white students than any other group, the diversity at Rutgers is very good. Being a person of color myself, I feel very at ease and very welcomed at this school. In any class you take, you will see diversity. Rutgers also has many organizations and clubs based on ethnic, racial, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, and many others that anyone can join to feel welcomed and accepted.

Party

This school is definately known for it's party scence. The parties are alright, but nothing to crazy. In my personal experience I didn't find myself going out too much. As far as bars they are always crowded, but I'm still underage so I can't really rate them
