  • “Dead on weekends, and two of the buildings are noticeably aging, but housing is pretty good here. Really convenient, considering this is predominantly a commuter school.…”

    Dining is okay in campus. But the surrounding restaurants are great. Being located in Newark, there are so many hidden restaurants and food trucks that must be tried.

    there are multiple shops and dining places right under the dorms so that there is no commute required for small everyday needs.

    I'm not going to lie the food isn't the best thing but the dining hall is always clean and the staff is really nice. They remember your face and even start to remember your preferences and what you normally eat. The hours are pretty reasonable as well.

    The cafeteria food isn't the best but it is probably better then jail food. The place that does have excellent food does not use your meal swipes but instead flex dollars which is basically money on your id card. Subway is very close and open twenty four hours which is great for late night eaters.

    There are a lot of fraternities at Rutgers Newark, we have a whole street of frat houses also known as frat row on campus. many students join the fraternities and all of them also have many connections outside the campus once we graduate.

    On frat row there are so many parties every Thursday. They have Greek events for those interested in pledging to a sorority or fraternity. The Greek life here is really big and important to the students here, I may even consider pledging next year.

    While I am not in a fraternity, I have heard great things and some of my best friends at school are involved with fraternities and sororities and always help the campus grow its reputation and Newark as a whole.

    The Greek life at Rutgers is great. There are so many organizations to choose from. I can't wait for this upcoming year to join a sorority.

    Rutgers-Newark isn't one of those Greek schools, but there's a live Greek culture. Lots of good parties from what I hear.
