I'm considering Rutgers for college but I'm not sure if it's too big for me. Does anyone know how many students attend Rutgers University?
Rutgers University is actually composed of multiple campuses, so the student body size can vary depending on the specific location.
At its largest campus in New Brunswick, Rutgers has over 50,000 students, which includes both undergraduate and graduate students. This size may seem large, but keep in mind that Rutgers-New Brunswick is spread across five smaller campuses (College Avenue, Busch, Livingston, Cook, and Douglass), each with its own unique feel and community, reducing the overall feeling of size.
Rutgers University-Newark has approximately 13,000 students, and Rutgers University-Camden has about 7,000 students. These are significantly smaller than the New Brunswick campus and might provide a more intimate learning environment if that's your preference.
Remember, a larger student body can offer a wide variety of resources, extracurricular activities, and opportunities, while a smaller campus might offer more personalized attention and a close-knit community. It's all about your personal preference.
