♪ Oh ♪
- I'm Sam Clark with Crimson Education
and we're here at Rutgers University
to ask some big questions.
♪ Oh ♪
- So what's the best thing about Rutgers?
- Well I like the classes I take
and one of my best friends goes here, so that's nice.
- Okay, is that her?
- Sure. (laughs) - Yeah sure, it's her and--
- Sure why not.
- The best thing about Rutgers is the variety
both in terms of the classes that are offered,
and the opportunities and the diversity here.
- It's a very diverse community,
so there's always something new going on
that's very exciting to go here
and always have great stories to tell people
and exciting adventures all the time.
- Probably the diversity, even with the people here
and the classes, everything is so diverse
and it's just a really nice environment.
- It's about the recreation center so we can play basketball
and we have really brilliant games.
- What I think is the best thing is the environment
here is very good, so I can see squirrels every where.
I like to see small animals.
- I personally love the farm here.
The fact that we have so many animals
and so many opportunities to work with animals
that a lot of people don't get.
- What's the worse thing about Rutgers?
- Probably the bus system, to be honest with you.
- Okay. - The bus system. (laughs)
- The buses, yeah for sure. (laughs)
- It's not very efficient. - Sure.
- The worst thing is about the parking permit
is things like I bought the parking permit here
but I can't park my car at a different campus.
It's just terrible.
- Besides right now, the weather.
Because I'm from Texas, so I'm not used to it yet.
- Oh okay.
- But, yeah, I'll have to acclimate I think.
- Alright, fair enough.
What does a typical weekend look like here at Rutgers?
- It kind of depends.
Every other weekend or so, it seems like
there's this mass leave from the university
and people go home to see their families
and stuff like that.
But typically, especially when the football games,
even though they're not exactly a great team,
it does get very busy, especially on College F.
- I feel that since it is such a large school
and so many people go here that it's always
a nice, loud, rowdy time at Rutgers.
It's always enjoyable to be around people who love Rutgers.
So when it's the weekend, it just brings people out
which means you can meet new people
and have a good time, so yeah.
- Gym, laundry, hang out with some people
and then, I'm 21, so off to the bars.
- On Eastern Avenue there's a lot of bars
but I used to live on College Ave last year
and Greek life is crazy.
But now I live on Cook and it's a lot more peaceful.
So you'll get a lot of options.
There's a lot of versatility I'd say.
- Probably some studying,
hanging out the people on my floor.
We usually do stuff in the room.
We walk to Panera and things like that.
- We'll just order food or something in the rooms and stuff.
- Yeah! (laughs)
- What did you write your application essays about?
- Is it embarrassing to say that I don't remember? (laughs)
- No?
- Yeah, because I really don't.
- Fair enough, fair enough.
- Totally forgot about it. (laughs)
- That's fair, that's fair.
- I forgot that (beep). (laughs)
- Alright, fair enough.
- I wrote my college essay for Rutgers
about actually why I wanted to go to Rutgers
and both of my parents actually met here, at Rutgers,
and my grandparents went here so it was kind of
a legacy type of thing.
- So I wrote about the different parts of myself,
the part of me that loves science
and the part of me that loves art.
- I wrote mine about how high school isn't for everyone
because the prompt was what did you love about high school?
So I kind of changed it
and did what I didn't like about high school.
- That it was about me, basically.
Kind of sell yourself to Rutgers.
- Right.
- It was pretty good.
I think I did amazing, I'm here so. (laughs)
- I think I wrote great essays and here I am!
- Yeah, that was mine.
- Perfect, go Rutgers?
- R-U!
- Love it, yeah!
- Thanks so much, have a good one.
(upbeat chill music)
- You have a football?
That seems spirited.
- Yeah. (laughs) - You guys have a cheer?
- R-U rock on?
- Yeah. (laughs)
- Do it!
- Yeah!
