Rutgers MFA?

Recommended Posts

Can anyone tell me ANYTHING about the MFA program at Rutgers? I'm a painter. I was admitted here and SAIC (which is too expensive for me), and I need more insight on Rutger's before I can decide whether to do it. What have you heard about Rutgers? Do they have a good reputation? Is it worth the money if you don't get a TA-ship? Is New Brunswick a depressing place to live? Do I need a car to live in NB? Is the work coming out of there strong? Thank you!

Rutgers is a good program...It's somewhere I certainly would be happy to be but I was rejected. Some of the studios are really really huge, and some are small. There are about 35 students in the program. Some of the work I saw coming out of there I felt was really really strong, and some I was not as impressed by, but sometimes that's a matter of personal opinion. I don't know if you could have a car in NB...but I do know it's pretty close and easy access to NYC which is cool. I know there are about 35 students in the program which is interdisciplinary. I know there are some highly regarded artists on the faculty there as well. And yes, Rutgers has a really good reputation. I also believe, but could be wrong, that most students at Rutgers get a TA, at least in the second year. You might want to check on that.
