Rutgers University is the notorious party school of New Jersey. With some of the most successful sports teams and three campuses spread across the state, Rutgers undoubtedly dominates college life in the Garden State. You can find most students covered from head to toe in red at the football games, that is if they can catch a bus, and far from the library on weekends at all costs.
There is no question about it…Rutgers kids know how to party. These students have so much fun that practically every other college student in NJ can’t wait to leave their school and come crash at Rutgers for the weekend. It’s the university all New Jersey kids said they would never go to, but in the end are so happy they did (even if it means seeing everyone you hated from high school.)
