Rutgers University Reviews

"Excellent program with generally excellent faculty. Generalist, utilizing a diversity of approaches and theories. Very diverse student body, I take classes at the Newark campus and it is the most diverse population in the nation."

"There are many great facilities and faculty that expand your options and knowledge. It is a great educational facility."

"I attended the University of Medicine and Dentistry, New Jersey (UMDNJ), Graduate School of Biomedical Science Program from 2011-2012. I earned my Master's in Biomedical Science through 30 units of science courses. Pros: I have had the pleasure of getting to meet with some of the most well respected teachers at UMDNJ. The professors were easy going and easy to work with, very accessible and approachable. They were very genuine and knowledgeable with their respective fields. Two of the professors wrote me letters of recommendations for dental school helping me gain acceptance to one of my top choices. The school and the student body was very diverse, courses were challenging, and resources were plentiful. I also lived near campus in student housing which was very convenient. And lastly, New York was a short bus and train ride away! Cons: Safety was always on my mind even though I lived right beside campus. Students had to be constantly aware of the surroundings to say the least. Newark itself is not the most desirable city to live in. The school use of technology was lacking in some departments such as the computer printing stations. Computers and printers were extremely slow and printing pages were limited. And the amount of accommodations and amenities were lacking."

"The professors were extremely friendly and helpful."

"This is a great urban planning program in the United States."

"UMDNJ is a well-established well-respected institute with campuses throughout the state of NJ. They offer in-state tuition which is a lot less than other similar caliber schools. The academics are strong and the graduates go on to some of the best post-graduate training programs in the nation."

"The Rehabilitation Counseling program is a great way to get into psychology and counseling without having to take a GRE. Since my undergraduate study was in English I had no idea whether I would be able to score decently on a standardized test in Psychology. However, due to my work experience and general interests, I knew that counseling was for me. This program provided an opportunity to get in the field that was based on my motivation and experience rather than my ability to take a test. A drawback, in my opinion, is the size of the program. I was told the class sizes for the previous graduating class was around six people. This means not much variation as far as the opinion in the class go. I'm used to larger classes."

"Their are pros because of some of the content we are learning and how we are learning and engaging with it. The cons are the diversity in programs, and the type of information that focuses on certain economic areas."

"The graduate program allows the best of both worlds---a small tight-knit community with the amenities of a large university."

"Pros: Fun environment, interesting people, access to faculty. Cons: Not necessarily APA accredited internships."

"Rutgers lacks financial aid resources and early morning dining hall hours and some campus areas lack security. Dorm rules should be revised to allow for more than 4 nights a month for out of state visitors. Staff is very supportive."

"Great program- professors are excellent and you can take medical or dental courses is you are pre-med or pre-dent."

"I think overall, the program is really good and I learned a lot. The professors are very approachable and eager to answer questions."

"I feel this school will give me the best education."

"Pros: small class size compared to my undergraduate institution. Friendly students, accessibility to professors and a very helpful financial aid department. The campus is safe and parking lot is spacious. The library is well equipped. CONS: Poor computer and printing facility. Stratford is quite a boring area. There is a need for a greater variety of science classes with varying number of credits to choose from."

"It is great school that gives a phenomenal platform to venture into advanced science or medicine."

"The program is widely recognized and includes practicum beginning in your first semester."

"Overall the school is really good and provides a good platform for all your future endeavors."

"It is releveant and provides the opportunity for students to be conversant with updates in governmment accounting"

"Some pros about the University of Medicine and Dentistry, Biomedical Science Program - Direct access and communication to faculty, students, and admissions of the D.D.S. Program. THe program offers a variety of courses to take and offers several concentrations. However, the program includes many cons - out dated facilities and resources, perilous surroundings, and a subpar education."
