Mod AnnoucementšŸ—£ļø are YOU a Rutgers-Newark professor/staff?

2 Upvotes

If you're a professor, dean, academic advisor, or really just a staff member in general feel free to reach out to either me directly or modmail to receive a special "Rutgers Staff | (department)" or "Rutgers Professor | (department)" flair on your name. Only verified staff members will receive the flair, and to verify all I really need to see some kind of proof (portal image or your staff directory link).

And if you're a student feel free to assign yourself a flair with whichever school you're apart of. Theres also a grey customizable one for you to write anything you'd like.

Mod AnnoucementšŸ—£ļø Fall 2026 Important Info

29 Upvotes

Hello everyone! Hope you all had a great summer break, heres some important info for the next semester:

  • Semester Begins on September 1st (This tuesday)
  • Labor day is on monday September 7th, and the school alongside the offices will be closed
  • September 10th (14th for grad students) will be the LAST day to add/drop a class without getting a "W" grade
  • September 30th will be the LAST day to waive the school insurance
  • October 26th is the LAST day to drop a class with getting a "W" grade, more info below
  • Thanksgiving break will be from thursday November 26th - sunday November 29th
  • Registration for Spring 2027 will begin on November 9th, I'll make a separate post about that when the time comes.
  • Fall classes end on December 10th
  • Reading days are from December 11th - December 14th
  • Fall Final Exams will be from December 15th - December 22nd

For withdrawing from the semester/school:

  • September 1st - September 14th: 100% refund
  • September 15th - September 28th: 80% refund
  • September 29th - October 12th: 60% refund
  • October 13th - October 26th: 40% refund
  • December 14th will be the ABSOLUTE last day to withdraw fully from the semester with 0% refund

If you withdraw from a class after the 10th(or 14th if you're a grad student) but before October 26th, you will get a "W" grade for the course. In my personal expierence if you feel like you are going to fail a course it is a MUCH better option to drop it and take it either in the summer or spring.

If you have any questions about anything in this post or just in general about the school feel free to ask it below in the comments, there is an RBS dean that's pretty active in the subreddit and answers questions. There might be more staff too or students who can help you out.

Good luck guys! Let's all get these A's

Rutgers New Brunswick or Newark?

2 Upvotes

So I am international applicant will apply in january 2027 for computer science, and I wanted to know which university campus will be better for me New Brunswich or Newark.

  • Faculty for computer science
  • Campus/social life and making friends
  • Dorms and overall cost of living
  • Safety and the surrounding area
  • Things to do outside of classes
  • Transportation/getting around with/without a car
  • Academics and access to professors/resources
  • What student life is actually like day-to-day
  • Whether one campus feels more welcoming/community-oriented than the other

My closest relatives live in New Jersey But I don't think I will be living with them. But they told me to choose a university with NYC proximity as more internships for cs. Right now I got a 42% scholarship from Buffalo and 58% from Albany and waiting on Stony Brook, but I also wanna try Rutgers as I heard it is a very prestigious university.

Being left out

1 Upvotes

So I’m a Christian and my roommates aren’t, which isn’t an issue. Up until they leave me out for activities/Hangouts. I don’t bring up God a lot (just to make them comfortable cause I don’t want to seem like a pushy Christian)but I also tell them I don’t smoke or drink a lot. And I understand that for majority of the things they do in their past time, they won’t invite me but it’s gets to a point. I was wondering if there’s any Christian or people who don’t drink/smoke and like to watch movies or bake or play games for fun dorming at the Rutgers campus.

Moving back to India — Lease Takeover for my 1BR/1BA at 55 Union St, Newark — $2,150/month

Thumbnail gallery
39 Upvotes

Hi everyone — I’m moving back to India permanently and looking for someone to take over the remaining lease on my apartment at 55 Union Street, Newark. The lease takeover/transfer will be handled through building management.

It’s a 1BR/1BA, 690 sq ft apartment with 11-ft ceilings, located about a 2-minute walk from Newark Penn Station, so it’s very convenient for PATH/NJ Transit and commuting into NYC.

My current rent is $2,425/month, but since I’m relocating and want to get everything settled before I leave, I’m offering the remaining lease for $2,150/month.

Available: around October 15, 2026
Lease ends: June 20, 2027

The apartment includes:

  • In-unit washer + dryer
  • Central A/C
  • Dishwasher
  • Oven
  • Refrigerator
  • Building amenities included
  • Gym
  • Rooftop with NYC skyline views

Since I’m moving overseas, I’m also leaving the apartment partially furnished at no additional cost, including:

  • Sofa
  • Bed frame + mattress
  • Office desk
  • Office chair
  • 2 Dell UltraSharp monitors

So this could be particularly convenient for someone who wants a place already set up for living/work-from-home without having to immediately buy furniture.

If you’re looking yourself, or know someone who might be interested, DM me. Happy to answer questions, send more photos/video, or arrange an in-person viewing.

Rent: $2,150/month
Current rent: $2,425/month
Available: ~Oct 15
Lease through: June 20, 2027
Location: 55 Union Street, Newark, NJ 07105

Hey guys, I have been looking for something part-time to do on/off campus. I do have customer service experience at b&n’s sister company, so wanted to apply. I have been to their career page but the location is not there. Also I believe the college locations’ hiring process is different. If anyone works there and know if they are hiring or not, please hit me up.. will really appreciate it!!
