MS in Computer Science - Batch of 2026

4.3

Vibrant, diverse and student friendly campus.

Tips: Students should know that Rutgers University New Brunswick does not have a grad curve concept in STEM courses and they are hard to score. Please prepare to handle things independently. My transition was smooth because they have apps for almost everything and a good volunteer team. Every campus although far apart, has good instructions and boards to follow. They follow a decade long tradition so things won't change much. Scholarships are rare and I recommend trying for other universities if you are tight on budget. I am very satisfied with my university and the MS in Computer Science course is decent if you are not doing research. The USA is amazing to study in.

Likes (Value for money): It has a good value for money because although STEM courses go up to 56,000$ per year, we get a lot more from the degree, like recognition and connections throughout the East and West Coast. Rutgers is one of the oldest universities with a top tier research program. Per credit amount varies every year and gets more expensive, but so do the facilities like the basic student pantry and recreation centers. The opportunities for on-campus jobs are very high. Almost everybody has a job here.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Although there are some Indian options, the food is not authentic indian. There are 15$ buffet options at the Livingston Campus which is economical. If you like non vegetarian, Busch campus has good options. I prefer cooking at home.

The campus offers countless clubs cultural events and networking opportunities that help students grow both personally and professionally.
