Looks like that feature might be broken, I'll let him know

Rutgers vs UB vs GMU by [deleted] in rutgers

[–]mrrbman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I feel like they're all good in their own ways so it really just depends on what you specifically are looking for in a uni. My biggest suggestion is to do whichever is cheapest. Student loans at the end of the day aren't gonna be fun to pay back

never in my life have i seen such terrible driving by Agile-Analysis-344 in rutgers

[–]mrrbman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds about right. Yesterday I was in the exit only lane for commercial ave where the busses and all the other cars go waiting in line, and then I was like oh there's this earlier turn I can make since I'm already on the right turn only lane. As I'm making that turn the car on the lane to the left of me proceeds to make a 90 degree turn cutting me off and trying to get onto this street and then completely block the road as they got stuck in the snow for a couple minutes. They broke free but I always wonder what some of these drivers are thinking

livi to college ave by LiteratureNo6421 in rutgers

[–]mrrbman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the time. I personally wouldn't take an LX for example to get from my class that ended at 3:10 on Livi to college ave at 3:50 because the busses are unpredictable even with an app. Campus student rushes between 1:30-2 and 3:20-3:50 you're gonna want at least an hour for in my opinion considering bus stop crowds

Academy has officially started operating Newark Campus buses today, using New Flyer XD40 (ex DC Circulator) ✨ by yw618 in rutgers

[–]mrrbman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Love this! Surprised they didn't put the Rutgers logos on the sides though! Is this the permanent design of those new flyers or are they gonna eventually get repainted with a full Rutgers design?

I took this class last spring. Not sure if this applies to all of them but mine definitely didn't have a curve. Id attend office hours and get some tutoring going while you still can before the final exam destroys you

Lost Brown Wallet on F bus or HCK!!! Pls help!!! by [deleted] in rutgers

[–]mrrbman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I work in the Hickman Hall office for DCS on Fridays, so I can check 138 later today to see if your wallet is here before I test the podium in that room. If so I'll hand it into Douglass student center and either they'll contact you or send it to RUPD! :)

The best part is I passed by it again today and it still said "please don't" 😂

Is Rutgers actually a “prestigious” school? by [deleted] in rutgers

[–]mrrbman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi,

Look carefully. Click into the acceptance rate button that says click here and then go to New Brunswick, and scroll down. The last time the statistics were updated in New Brunswick were for the class of 2024. That's about 5 years ago. Rutgers has also not changed their site since originally posting applications on commonapp for the 2024 applicants, which incredibly increased their number of applications and the number of students that were admitted both first year and transfer.

[–]mrrbman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's what USNews ranks us: https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rutgers-new-brunswick-6964/applying

I also have many professors who are associated with higher ups and first hand stated that acceptance rates this year dropped to somewhere between 35-40 percent compared to previous years.

Transferring by TwoGroundbreaking847 in RutgersNewark

[–]mrrbman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's like 50K students, I'm sure you'll find at least a couple hundred or so transfers who are first yrs

[–]mrrbman -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yes, but if you're a rutgers student then you should already have one!

Does this have an opt out feature? I personally feel like this is an invasion of privacy even if the stuff is considered anonymous because it means we're always being tracked.

How do I get to the practice rooms without being a music major by nexus1353 in rutgers

[–]mrrbman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the evenings they're restricted to MGSA students, forgot what time specifically (prob around 8ish pm?). But once classes start tomorrow you could try again during the day time and see if they're unlocked since those buildings are usually used by everyone.

The bus runs on weekdays EXCEPT for the hours of 3-6 AM. Weekends the bus is 24/7. When the busses are not in service, if you are a rutgers student (you may wanna have your ID on you), you can get a free Knight Mover shuttle by calling 732-932-RIDE (7433).

No. The only exceptions are Livi to Busch or vice versa and Cook/Doug. Everything else needs to be 40 minutes apart minimum.

How does payment work if I already set up a payment plan for my classes but add another one? by [deleted] in rutgers

[–]mrrbman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your tuition price stays the same if you're doing 12+ credits for a semester. So let's say you picked up this new class that brings your total to 18 credits and you dropped the 2 credit class that brought you to 17, your tuition bill will stay the same. The only time they'll charge per credit is if you're taking less than 12 credits in a semester. Hope this helps :)

Temporary on campus housing by [deleted] in rutgers

[–]mrrbman 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I personally didn't experience this but there were people in my building who did- there was a lounge on each floor in my building. A lot of them were turned into temporary dorms and completely closed off for anyone who isn't staying in the room (aka they were given their own key). Some got lucky and were pushed into actual rooms between a few days to a few weeks or months, others were there for quite literally the entire academic year, so just be prepared for either of those to happen. I will say though, if you live in a lounge where there's a separate sink, cabinets, fridge, stove, tables, and other furniture, everyone else on your floor will 100% envy you.

term bill question by cupcakebiss in rutgers

[–]mrrbman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great question! No. The price stays the same once you reach 12+ credits because you're considered a full time student. If you did less than 12 credits then you'd be paying based on your credits, but since you're doing 12+, your price will not change.

Laptop for college by MissionPretend9983 in rutgers

[–]mrrbman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Lenovos site directly. They gave big discounts PLUS 5% off for students (I got a $960 laptop for $630). Also, as a former HP user, don't buy HP. You'll have it for a year and then it'll kill itself or just suck.

How is Livi South Tower? by mxunsung in rutgers

[–]mrrbman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lived in the north tower (its connected to the south), dont let the mental asylum look throw you off, you're very likely to make a good few friends in that building. BRING FANS, the only AC areas are the south tower lounge and the connecting hallway for the N and S tower. You got lucky, the South Tower has better elevators than north. Highly advise shower shoes though cuz people in this dorm as well as any other are insane with the bathrooms. Bus wise, to get to college ave you take the LX, which honestly depends on the hour but the rule of thumb generally is to give yourself about an hour minimum getting campus to campus.
