A Rutgers education delivers "opportunities around every corner." After all, it's a "diverse university in all aspects of the word-academically, culturally, politically, ethnically, linguistically, and socially." And from the School of Engineering to the Mason Gross School of the Arts, undergraduates have the ability to "pursue anything they're interested in." Since it is known as a research university, it's quite common for undergraduates "to conduct research and work with professors in any number of fields." They even have opportunities to present their work, like at the annual Aresty Undergraduate Research Symposium.
When it comes to the classroom, most courses are taught in a lecture format. However, electives tend to be "much smaller and thus much more open to discussion and student presentation." As at most schools, you'll find a mix of "great professors, average professors, and bad professors." However, most students insist that the vast majority of professors are "intelligent people who have a lot of information to share and a lot of experience that allows them to elaborate on many topics." And the best of these instructors are "experienced, intelligent, and helpful," as well as "diverse, accessible, proactive...and interested in students who take initiative." These educators know how to make learning "enjoyable and informative."
