    You'll enjoy the meals in the first couple of months then after it gets repetitive. and meal swipes are very expensive. Livingston Dining Hall - The best Neilson on Douglass - second best Busch - close third and right behind Neilson Bower on college ave - worst - staty way

    I'm used to my Latin food so I wasn't super impressed or delighted with the food at Rutgers. It's good, but definitely not as good as my home food. The dining halls, for me at least are rated as follows: 1) Livingston 2) Busch, 3)College Avenue 4) Douglas/Cook. I do recommend going to the Rock Cafe on the Livingston campus though! It's yummy, along with trying something from the Knight Wagon!

    Livingston Dining Hall is a state of the art facility that offers a wide array of culinary delights from many different ethnic backgrounds. Overall, the Dining hall experience at Rutgers is very accommodating, and provide a spectrum of food choices.

    By far, the best place to dine is the Livingston Dining Commons, it's new and offers a variety of food, as well as make your own/freshly cooked food bars.

    Plenty of options covering a range of different cuisines. The quality wasn't always great but good enough. On College Ave is a place that has all kosher meal plans.

    The Greeks are awesome, friendly, and caring. The Black frat members are very handsome! Sadly there are no Delta's or a line for Q's etc

    Often labeled as Frat Bros or hated because its hard to get into their parties if you're a guy. Usually chill and laid back and give back to the community. And of course you have your meaty frat bro who isn't liked. But nonetheless give it a try during rush week and see if you find your niche.

    Rutgers of course has the fraternities and sororities. There are many here, from just crazy party ones to special interest ones. If you are interested in Greek life, you should have no problem with that here.
