This is a great school

I did Rutgers Camden at Brookdale community college with my in person classes at Brookdale community college and my online classes from Rutgers Camden, it was an amazing experience. Classes were amazing and the tutoring centers were awesome. Made a lot of friends and really learned a lot from my professors. I definitely recommend.

Great School, there's always something going on, great people,food is a bit overpriced, you would think because the school is in Camden it would be very dangerous, but it's actually safer than all of the other Rutgers campuses and the security guards are very kind and know what they are doing. Overall this school is a 5.0.

This university changed me for the better. I'm surrounded by great professionals and goal-oriented students. During my first year at RU, I was able to grow and mature into the person I needed to be. I was born and raised in Camden, NJ. RU has taught me this famous quote, "it's not where you're from; it's where you're going that counts." :)

Bad area , horrible school , departments are god but CS is the worst. Its a misnomer on name of RUTGERS . AVOID as much as you can. Better stay uneducated rather than attending such campus. Its a money orientated business ran on the name of education. WORST SCHOOL IN THE WORLD ! WORST CS DEPT too ! CS majors, just simply avoid this horrible place !

Wouldn't recommend. But the only thing that is ok is that even though its in Camden for the most part I feel pretty safe during the day but would never want to come here at night.

This campus has cut so many course offerings, that community colleges now offer more for less money. Try getting the courses you need in your major to graduate. Too many of us have had to go extra semesters to get them. Campus security at night has disappeared. Snack bars have been replaced by junk machines. Good profs get fired for bad reasons.
