The Stats

There are a lot of statistics that are important to a college decision. While I think they are less important to a decisions than other considerations, they can be helpful information. Here are a few significant statistics about Rutgers to think about:

• 4 main campuses throughout New Jersey (Rutgers-New Brunswick has 4 additional sub-campuses)
• 33 schools & colleges
• 100+ majors, 120+ minors, 200+ graduate programs to choose from
• Financial aid received by over 80% of students
• More than 14,000 students received degrees in May 2013 (including me!)
• More than 60% of undergraduate students participate in original research
• Rutgers is the only public NJ school to be part of the AAU, an association of 62 of the leading research universities in the nation
• Over 400 student-run organizations

There are no doubt a thousand more statistics I could throw at you, but numbers don't really speak to me. After all, every one of those statistics had a unique experience at this university and could share their own stories. 

Instead of trying to overload you with statistics, I'd like to share some unique experiences and programs at the university.
