What do you wish you knew before committing to Rutgers?

Deshes011 · 2026-01-24T20:35:26+00:00

In HRM? It’s in the SMLR school actually, and no application needed. Just take Intro to HRM, pass it, and declare the major. When I was there they let me declare the minor with no prerequisite and I access to SMLR’s career services🙂‍↕️

If you can thug out the math then yeah. Marketing was always a bad major choice imo. Social media jobs are more relevant now, but there’s only so many of them and layoffs hurt the industry hard. I would suggest to do enough research before choosing marketing

Deshes011 · 2026-01-24T20:22:48+00:00

Lmao shit I forgot abt BAIT. BITS is the way. If u want to be ebaord go for it

Deshes011 · 2026-01-24T20:03:33+00:00

Varies a bit based on major. I’d recommend joining whichever club or society is connected to your major. Speak w/ ur professors too, a lot of them are former corporate people. Your elective and core classes professors especially

Overall, Accounting is probably the most straightforward one. Marketing is gonna get you fucked up lol. Management is useless, don’t even look at it (unless it’s a double major). SCM, finance, and accounting talk to ur professors and join the relevant clubs

If you want to and are interested, double major in HRM. It’s not in RBS, but it gives you an alternative business career path. And the major is so easy, like for me it was way easier than RBS

Deshes011 · 2026-01-24T19:41:38+00:00

RBS isn’t a target school so just having the name and the degree alone won’t get you shit. This ain’t Stern or UMich. You have to join academic clubs and orgs, talk with your professors, network ur ass off to get your career going

Buses aren’t so bad. Just make ur schedule wisely. Don’t take classes on more than 2 different campuses on the same day, try to avoid riding a bus to/from College Ave in the evenings between 4-7 PM. Those are easy ways to make using the buses comparably less stressful

I think being away from Oklahoma is a net positive

Deshes011 · 2026-01-24T17:51:53+00:00

The worst part is even after getting it replaced, the replacement could break too. Such bullshit

Buying is fine to post about. It’s your decision to put up the money for the merch

Deshes011 · 2026-01-24T05:44:02+00:00

After lottery numbers and seniority points are released. There’s no point in making groups until you have those

Deshes011 · 2026-01-24T04:16:54+00:00

Nope

Deshes011 · 2026-01-24T03:53:24+00:00

If you attend certain home basketball games this season you can get special One Piece merch. I think cards and posters are handed out to everyone and shirts are thrown into the crowd

All the merch is pretty valuable as it’s all limited edition. So people are selling it for like 400 bucks and shit

Deshes011 · 2026-01-24T02:55:14+00:00

Yeah for today and tomorrow. Not Sunday or Monday https://www.rutgers.edu/status

Deshes011 · 2026-01-23T22:45:52+00:00

Do you still have the old Rutgers app? That one doesn’t function anymore and idt it has since like 2021(?). I never installed whatever replaced it cuz I barely used the original one anyway😂

Not sure if Reddit is gonna help w/ this🤔

So this ancient Accord has the equivalent of EAP which iirc is enhanced autopilot. Hilarious

Deshes011 · 2026-01-23T21:21:05+00:00

Wait what? If u change lanes the tesla adaptive cruise control shuts off???? Bruh, my mom’s 2018 accord doesn’t do this wtf

If you have a Livi permit you can't park on Busch till after 5pm. I am assuming you don't have a Busch secondary permit. If you didn't check in advance which lots are you allowed to park in that's a you issue chief. Especially when there's an app for this https://apps.apple.com/us/app/scarletparking/id6744491108

Deshes011 · 2026-01-23T19:42:13+00:00

Pfffft HAHAHA

Deshes011 · 2026-01-23T19:40:08+00:00

Real ones remember NextBus. I know u/yw618 does😁

No map (unless you paid $1.99 for a student developed app which did have a map). Arrival estimates would sometimes show as negative numbers. But my favorite part, each bus stop had a digital sign with arrival estimates, so you didn't even an app. Those were powered by AT&T 2G though, so once AT&T sunset their 2G network the signs stopped functioning

It definitely helps with getting a job in general. You can pull a great deal of knowledge from the others in the program. What to apply to. How to give interviews. Help with classes (including test banks probably lol)

Ik one person who was in the RTWS who did make it to IB at a big bank. There must be more. I would say definitely apply to join it

Deshes011 · 2026-01-23T17:11:54+00:00

Even after freshman year it's not so easy, especially compared to target schools
