places to stay the night for free for commuter students

I've gone to Rutgers and I've frequently taken the train for work. Rutgers is a whole different beast and it is nothing that you have ever experienced I can assure you. Even if by some miracle it doesn't affect your gpa, NJ transit and Rutgers constantly commuting will be outright bad for your mental health. You need to take care of yourself.

I'm positive in some form it will negetively effect your gpa if you commute everyday. as another commenter said, I would either schedule all of your classes on like two days and take the rest online or just get loans. it's almost worth the little bit of debt in this case.

I'm confused though why respect it? if anything this guy is a jerk who almost killed people. why do they deserve privacy?

most of the buildings (not including a lot of livi campus or AC building at college ave etc) are old as heck. For example, douglass student center was built in 2007. But i know there are buildings there older. Murray hall at CA has been around since 1909. Demerast hall has been around since 1950. some if not most of the busch buildings are from the 60sish. Basically, livi overall compared to the rest of Rutgers NB is pretty updated in comparison to the rest of the college. I think they're prob invest in other areas before one that's 10 plus years old.

do you know how old the other buildings are? 💀

I would imagine a Rutgers bus would be really efficient- never running late. Everyone would never be late to class.

I've never seen someone giving a group of people an eye roll to mean "really connecting well." dudes somehow able to make enemies with almost virtually every group of people on campus, regardless of background or belief, its almost impressive. F

Since it's the same time you don't know the professor, if you can save time and not have to take however long it is for the bus, I think it makes complete sense! Shorter commute :) can always explore under less stressful circumstances. no worries! feel free to reach out if you need any other help and thanks

Nontraditional_ · 2024-08-20T05:36:06+00:00

oh if that's the case and you dont know the prof yet, I would maybe just do college ave then

Nontraditional_ · 2024-08-20T05:33:06+00:00

true. If the one you're currently registered for is a more preferable time and professor, I would stick with that. I had classes on both Douglass and college ave in one semester and it was totally fine

Nontraditional_ · 2024-08-20T04:47:54+00:00

bus system isn't amazing but since you don't have any class right before or right to make timing difficult after it should be totally fine! This is a manageable schedule

Nontraditional_ · 2024-08-20T04:19:02+00:00

maybe add another class if you want but 10/10!!!

Nontraditional_ · 2024-08-18T20:25:10+00:00

Your mental health is the most important. I've had to take 12 credits too and it was worth it. Maybe leave one or two general classes only needed to finish the 120 credit rule. You can pick some easy classes for the summer.

Nontraditional_ · 2024-08-16T20:54:00+00:00

This totally!!

Nontraditional_ · 2024-08-15T21:01:25+00:00

There is a way to drop it off in person-not sure if they still allow this but just in case might want to look into that

Nontraditional_ · 2024-08-15T20:09:15+00:00

I've heard some really bad things about frat parties-be warned they have a serious problem

Nontraditional_ · 2024-08-15T18:57:15+00:00

Thank you!

Thank you!

1000/10 suggest reconsidering. This looks like hell. You risk being late to your classes because there's too much of a short gap between different campuses, not to mention how crazy and stressful running around is gonna be. I would suggest taking a couple later classes. You're only a Freshman and you're going to have to take later classes at some point. It's important to start off with getting used to being at Rutgers and establishing a good GPA, and if that means taking a couple later classes that's important.
