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.

My experience at the Honors College has been especially rewarding because of all the amazing people I met. It's not just the students, but the faculty are such interesting people and show that they really care about you.
