Rutgers University–New Brunswick NJ

Rutgers NB houses the oldest Queens College campus. It has 3 campuses in close proximity. Building style ranges from old Victorian to modern glass. Kirkpatrick Chapel, the Gothic Revival chapel on Old Queen’s campus, is another type that can be found. It’s a pretty open campus but if you're close by, you might want to check out Princeton. The architecture will take your breath away!

This university acknowledged my unaccompanied homelessness and that my apartment styled dorm was the only space preventing me from being on the streets. Yet the residence life office, despite being one of the two offices that verified my homelessness, still demanded I declutter the space in a short timeframe, and they sided with my apartment mate who not only called the RA and staff on me just for crying in my room, but he also later yelled at me directly and ragequit because I was crying. Said office also referred me to student conduct instead of helping me with basic needs. The financial aid office interviewed me about my homelessness and yet still demanded third party documentation I couldn’t get, and even suggested I take out a private loan to cover the balance. I am so sad and disappointed that I have to drop out for the sake of my safety. If this university claims it’s inclusive and diverse, my experience was anything but that. It was a very traumatizing experience that left me heartbroken and shattered. If you are a nontraditional student in any form, please RUN FAR away from the dorms at this university. And if your a nontraditional student under 24, don’t bother with this school until the FAFSA automatically considers you independent at age 24.

The best university in New Jersey and one the top public institutions in country. So big that there are 5 different campuses in the New Brunswick/Piscataway. A lot of great days on College Ave and Douglass and there is bus service to each part of campus which offers different things according to interests. Loved the football stadium as well
