Rutgers Anyone?

[curiousgeorge84]

Hey all! I accepted for Rutgers-New Brunswick. Anyone else?

I still have a few more schools to hear from, but at this point there's a decent chance that I'll accept. Did you visit yet? What did you think?

I'm going into the Political Science program and I liked it. The professors were really great and showed an interest in my research interests and I think they offer a lot of professional support. The campus isn't the prettiest and is kind of spread out, but they have university transportation and for the PhD you really are only going to one place anyway. I was talking to someone on the train doing his PhD in geography and he said by the third year, a lot of people commute from New York and Pennsylvania. I'm going to commute from NYC from the beginning and there is a university bus that picks you up right from the train. Only 45 minutes from NYC!

Ok thanks good to know. I think I'll visit next weekend and see
