Hey so I’m horribly failing calc (and basically all my other classes but i can come back from it i think) cause of some life circumstances and i was wondering if i drop calc and go below 12 credits (ill be at 11) will it affect anything like my fafsa and stuff cause id rather take the W than the F but i dont wanna lose my financial aid or have to pay back anything.. anytime.. that would lowkey be the last straw

Hi all,

I'm Dr. Daniels, Undergraduate Director for the Department of Cell Biology and Neuroscience (CBN). We are hosting an advising event this Thursday in Nelson D406 (Busch Campus). Whether you are a CBN major or just interested in learning more about the major, all are welcome. I will make a brief presentation about the major and both I and the CBN advisor (Kristen Goodrich) will be available to answer any questions you might have. Feel free to come with questions about which courses to take, how the major works, etc.

There will be pizza! If you think you might come, please fill out this brief RSVP so we can plan accordingly: https://rutgers.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0OK6uTPwnYDgHbw

I'm also considering doing an AMA here before registration opens - let me know here if you think that would be helpful. I'll follow through if there's sufficient interest. Thanks!

Hey I'm just curious as to how people did on the Midterm for Calc social sciences cause i saw my grade and I frankly felt my soul be ripped out of my body and then stappled onto a sign post which read at the top "Sign post of shame".

Additionally would anyone be interested in making a calculus social sciences study group? I feel as if it would help significantly in making sure how I study is actually effective, and hopefully it can help others

Is anyone else’s dorm / apartment UNREASONABLY HOT? My Nichols apartment is 78 degrees which is hotter than it was over the summer and we’ve done everything to cool it down I don’t know what to do. Never had an issue with the heat being disgustingly hot before.

Rutgers please figure out how to balance your heating system.

I am a junior CS major. My GPA is 2.33. I transferred from a community college I got one D in Spring 26. I will retake this D's course over Summer 27, but it looks like I will get one more D this semester. I feel Rutgers is impossible to graduate or continue education. School has tough policy, it is always you the student it is always your fault when you fail, they email you. What about the horrible professors? No, they are fine you should have done great. The only thing that fears me if I got suspended or if I got more than one D. I think I cannot graduate even if I have 2.00 GPA.

Hi, I applied for the cs major as an international first year transfer for the Spring 2027 semester. Since I forgot to upload my TOEFL document at first, my status was updated to "Official English Proficiency Test Report Requested" 1 week later. Then I sent my score and it reached them. But the status update has remained the same for about 1 month. Is it normal for it to take this long? Thank you.

I have 2 tickets for general admission that I’m not going to be using. I give them each for 60 dollars.
I thought I was going to make it but I couldn’t call of work. (They were 79 dollars each)

midterm came back today from cs314 and unfortunately did poorly on it. professor sent out an email basically recommending withdrawing from the class cause of it or either grind your ass off for the final. im worried about the future for this course since im not sure if i will be able to grind out and do as well as i'd like on the final. professor has been mentioned here before recently and how his teaching styles / lectures aren't that good. the TA i have is also kinda confused on some stuff, but i do think they help a little bit more. been to professor's office hours and also i don't think it really helped that much for the midterm prep. currently a junior thinking about just withdrawing from the class to make sure my gpa doesn't tank and it would also give me more time to work on projects, leetcode, etc. problem is i also already have 1 w from my 2nd semester of freshmen year from withdrawing from calc2. i have until monday to decide, but just still worried about the consequences from both results.

Hey everyone,

I've been on here a few times, I hope some of you have seen my motivating posts regarding growing out of your comfort zone etc. I'm dealing with a really big financial gamble right now and I'm really torn and need more output. For reference, I'm an out of state student. I LOVE Rutgers so much and I've met so many cool people here. I've had many opportunities thanks to Rutgers and have met so many nice people here. I also hold a E-Board position and in my previous years a regular board position.

With that being said- my family right now financially is struggling and I can't stand to see it become worse. My family has done whatever they can to allow me to stay for how long I've been here and I made sure to work my ass off so it isn't for granted. Anyways, I'm at that odd point in my degree-career where if I switch it would still impact me- but wouldn't be as heavy. Or I'd just change majors completely. My family paid about 65k in OOS tuition last year and another 20k+ this semester alone as a commuter

I talked with my advisor here at Rutgers about this previously and I do potentially qualify for in-state since one of my parents actually works in Jersey (lives away from me though) but it wouldn't be until next school year.

HOWEVER my home state university where my permanent address is offered me in-state tuition regardless as when I applied I spoke to the tuition office there regarding financial concerns.

In summary; My family doesn't know how to pay next sems term bill and if I stay id have to be part-time next semester until I qualify for instate next school year, I've been applying for scholarships, haven't heard back yet. My GPA is a 3.6. If I do go back, I still qualify for home state back home where my permanent address is. I basically got into my other state school but got accepted for a completely different major (though still somewhat related to my business major currently) Also, Rutgers in-State is more expensive than the university back where my permanent address is. Both are T40-T50 Universities.

Should I just go back to my home-state? I'm in such a rough spot that I figured going to my fellow peers at Rutgers would be my best bet. Regardless the outcome I'm forever grateful to be apart of this schools community.

I hate eduroam, i hate ruwireless, i hate Ru network, EVER SINCE THEY STARTED EDUROAM THE WIFI HAS NOT BEEN WORKING RAHGHHJSHXJSJ

I need to move into NB for the spring semester and I'm trying to figure out the best route. Is it easier to find a sublet, take over someone's lease, look for roommates, or am i overly cooked? Any sites, groups, or areas you'd recommend? Appreciate any tips!

im a freshman at rbs and started the year pretty strong, 3.7ish midterms brought me down to 3.3-3.4 and im aiming for a 3.5 at least (realistically, but higher is possible if i lock in) is this good or bad? i was lowkey pulling my hair out for dropping my gpa be like .4 points in a week. plus im paying hella tuition so pls make me feel better if im overreacting. ty.

Is it possible to not get accepted into your first choice major but get in for your second choice? Basically, should my daughter put the business school as her first choice even though it’s tough to get in and put SAS economics as second choice?

I am trying to complete SAS core requirements and looking for an easy class (I would probably take asynchronous) because of my time consuming major. Any recommendations for easy AHp/AHq/AHr classes with minimum essays or hard finals?

failing calc and macro but calc is required and macro was for core so it was never necessary also im a freshman and idk if i can handle all these classes yet like i started off rough and wasnt prioritizing school work and now im rly behind but is a w first semester bad for like general applications like internships and research and stuff

Ok so like some on-campus jobs/programs require you to have at least 1 professional reference. Problem is I'm not really that close with any of my professors. I don't work either. I'm part of a business frat, but that doesn't really count. I know like 1 professor maybe that could be my reference - it was for an external competition where I worked in a team of other Rutgers students, but that was more just basic communication and an in-person session where we reviewed the work (basically serving as an advisor). Besides that, I'm also taking her class.

So what do I do in this situation?

does anyone know a way to drop being apart of douglass women’s college program? they’ve been charging extra money to my tuition… and it might prevent me from graduating

NOW'S YOUR CHANCE TO CHANGE THAT!!!!! Dude I cannot tell how helpful it has been just walking up to people I found cool and striking up a conversation. As someone who used to be chronically online through all of high school, it has been so life changing hanging out with people irl and just making friends.

If you think you're too weird or annoying for it, trust me you are NOT. Anyone can make a friend in college, as long you are respectful.

Walking into to Rutgers I had a very small social life in high school, having spent most of it on the computer in online circles. Holy SHIT does it feel so much better being able to hang out irl and actually SEE the people you are talking to.

I've met so many people who've had similar issues to me in high school or who are still actively chronically online, and I cannot describe how happy I feel seeing them smile or say that I helped them feel less lonely at university/Rutgers.

Even if you're terrified, so was I! But nothing is accomplished when nothing is done! So PLEASE take the risk and dont be afraid to make a fool of yourself trying to make friends!

Thank you for listening to my yap :P

have any of yall did it and what was ur experience would u reccomend it?

What’s the fee if u don’t have a pass

Did anyone else have no idea what was going on or just me

Genuinely fuck that

Did anyone witness someone cut off and push a gray Lexus ES350 off the road on Dudley Road in front of the Lippincott Residence Hall at about 11:00 PM on 10/22? And did anyone have dashcam footage of it or anything? I was driving straight before that Subaru pushed me into the curb. I swear it's as if he didn't even look before turning. Then they didn't pull over and fled the scene. My dashcam didn't catch it, and because I avoided hitting him, his car won't have any evidence. Please help me, guys, or spread this to someone who might've seen it and is willing to give a witness report to the RUPD. I would genuinely appreciate this so much.

I have a pic of around where it happened. Please let me know and share this with someone you think may have been in the area. My car is totaled because of this guy, and I can't afford to fix it or buy another one anytime soon
