Being a part of the Honors College community helped me get adjusted to college life because it felt like a smaller version of Rutgers with all the diversity and the various schools being represented. Not only did I find a home within the community, but I also was exposed to some amazing opportunities both inside and outside of Rutgers through the Honors College.
