Rutgers anthro reputation

[postit]

Could anyone fill me in on the reputation of Rutgers' CITE program?

By reputation I mean happiness of PhD students, quality of profs and courses, rankings, job placements, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Have you heard any responses to this? I was about to post the same question about Rutgers' CITE.

their program is decent, the program seemed pretty small and intimate, and the campus is in a relatively small city/town. apparently there are a few good, staple places that students hang out at... but i would guess they'd also be crowded with undergraduates, which may not be a problem if those undergraduates are generally mature and aren't acting like drunken messes! i applied to the CITE track and would have had a hard time deciding between my program and that program if i hadn't gotten off Rutgers' waitlist.

If I remember correctly, Rutgers anthro has always been pretty top notch in terms of 4-field takes on topics that are "evolutionary" at least in terms of epistemology. I've always though Schrire is particularly good.

The University as a whole has allegedly suffered with its entrance into big-time NCAA sports (there's a book about it: Confessions of a Spoilsport)--but so have a lot of large public schools.
