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.

Tips: Rutgers New Brunswick offers a vibrant research driven environment with opportunities to grow. The cultural shift was real but the diversity and support on campus made the transition much easier. I didn't receive a scholarship the learning experience and exposure are worth the investment. The campus offers countless clubs cultural events and networking opportunities that help students grow both personally and professionally.

Rutgers University is a great college where you will meet great people.

Tips: Students should be open minded about going abroad and the feeling of loneliness at first. It can be quite daunting and scary in the beginning when you are still finding your way and trying to make friends when you don't quite know anyone. There is definitely a cultural shift to be expected but Rutgers University is quite diverse so it was a plus. I did not get any scholarship from Rutgers University. I am not entirely satisfied with the University, as I felt the faculty was lacking and could have been better. Depending on the course, it can be a bit difficult to reach professors and communicate with them. The country itself is great but I know people who do not like it as well so it can vary in individuals. The US is very spread out, and sometimes places can be far to get to, such as grocery stores. Once you start to live off campus, it is hard to leave the University without a car.

Likes (Student Life): I would usually go to my classes in the day and then spend time with my friends in the evening. The dining halls are average; however, there are many outside dining options which we used to visit once in a while. I enjoyed the option of not always having to eat in the dining halls, as it is not always good. There are many events on campus, especially because there are many Indian clubs. They host Indian events quite often and you may also join them to contribute. I used to participate once a month, usually going to a club event for a specific Indian festival, such as Holi or Diwali. There are also other clubs depending on your hobbies and what you like such as arts and crafts, magazines, fashion, business and sports.

Dislikes (Safety): There is campus security and New Brunswick police are usually on the street as well. New Brunswick can be unsafe especially as you go deeper into the town which is why everyone should be careful. There can be homeless people on the street who may bother you at times.

Rutgers University provides a lot of opportunities of our interest.

Tips: There are people from all cultures here, and you can always find your people. It's easy to talk to new people and join clubs because they are always looking for diversity and new opinions. The only downside is that you have to hustle a lot to get jobs and be noticed, but it's all part of the culture here. You just have to make the best of it.
