Student body size at Rutgers?

Hey guys, can anyone tell me about the overall student body size at Rutgers? I'm trying to gauge if I'd prefer a large university or a smaller college experience. Also, if you could share what it’s like with a larger student body size, that would be great! Thanks!

Rutgers University, specifically the New Brunswick campus, has a rather large student population. As of recent data (do check for updates as exact numbers may fluctuate), the overall student body size hovers around 50,000, which includes both undergraduates and graduates. This puts Rutgers squarely into the category of larger universities.

Now, what's it like in a university with a large student body size? With a large university, you'll typically find a diverse range of academic options and extracurricular activities. There’s an opportunity to meet a lot of different people from various backgrounds as well, given the sheer size and diversity of the student population.

Moreover, large universities also tend to have extensive resources such as multiple libraries, research facilities, and an array of student support services. They often have vibrant campus life with many events, clubs, and opportunities for social engagement.

However, keep in mind that in large class settings, you may have lectures with hundreds of students where individual attention from the professor might be limited. But for students who enjoy an ambitious, bustling environment and seek varied experiences, a large university can be a great fit.

Remember, the best way to determine if a large university or a smaller college is right for you is to think about your own learning style and personal preferences. Consider what you're looking for in your college experience, and evaluate universities and colleges based on factors that are most important to you.
