    Why Did Rutgers Have to Rutgers?

    Given the COL of there, probably safe to assume that people wouldn't say things like "Michigan isn't doing enough to let in legacies, they should be more like Auburn" or "merit is when the children of rich kids get in over more qualified children of immigrants" or "I can't have my kid going to...

    Why Did Rutgers Have to Rutgers?

    The people on this board whining about race but then insisting RU prefer legacies are just making the exact point they're being mocked for. They are out for themselves and worried kids with less resources, especially those from immigrant and non-white backgrounds, are lapping their spoiled children.

    Why Did Rutgers Have to Rutgers?

    Uh, in terms of state schools, whether it's RU or Auburn or University of Michigan the point of them is to educate people of the state without preference to income. Is Clemson turning away poor but qualified applicants from rural South Carolina or their poorer parts of Charleston or Greenville...

    OT: Penn State Fans Push Back on Steep 2027 Ticket Price Hikes

    How can this be when we are reliably told that all the NJ families going there are oozing money and all the big donors RU is ignoring in favor of simply awful middle class kids with their Honda Civics?

    Why Did Rutgers Have to Rutgers?

    Even the generation RU (and every college) is trying to attract hates these people. I wonder if it's just trolling or are they actually ignorant enough to claim taking race into account (which there is no evidence RU does anymore) is unfair but how they should prioritize people based on how much...

    Why Did Rutgers Have to Rutgers?

    If we're operating on merit, why would legacy be a consideration? Being born to an alum is no different than being a born a different color, rich or poor, gender, sexuality, wealth or anything else. If the idea is merit we look strictly at the qualification of the student, and NJ being a...

    Why Did Rutgers Have to Rutgers?

    Nowadays, 20 spots up from RU is Ivy range. But we're not talking Ivies. We're talking about Clemson. And how NJ parents are forced to send Brad to Clemson, lest he be surrounded by Honda Civic drivers and students who will be the first in their families to graduate college, where he can...

    Why Did Rutgers Have to Rutgers?

    Uh sorry, you need to learn the definition of merit. If your family is middle class, especially of an immigrant background, and drives a Honda Civic, and they put every last red cent for you to get to RU, it's not merit. Maybe if you're white, it's a little merity. But, if your dad went to a...

    Why Did Rutgers Have to Rutgers?

    Ah I see So the purpose of a college is not to lure students from "high academic families" and to prize instead someone with the academics of an Auburn student who comes from a rich family? As the first person in my family who graduated college and who had my Honda Civic on campus, LOL. I...

    Why Did Rutgers Have to Rutgers?

    NJ is about 50/50 white and non white, and obviously the percentage non-white is going to be majority in the college age demographic. Then consider that most colleges are going to draw from those areas geographically proximate, and say even within a half hour of campus, the percentage of white...

    OT: Caribbean Vacation

    LOL same! Idk how people don't at least try it. Worst case you don't like it, and considering it's all inclusive you're not out anything.

    Why Did Rutgers Have to Rutgers?

    It will be interesting to see who wins that battle in the long run The kids who go to University of Tampa cause it looked great on TikTok The kids who go to trade school because they saw it on Joe Rogan Or the Asian American kids who happily went to RU and got degrees in Engineering or went...

    Why Did Rutgers Have to Rutgers?

    They would tell you the state U of NJ should not look like NJ but rather "America", ignore particularly the demographic of high school seniors both statewide and nationally, and then forget that Texas and UF also look like their states not "America."

    OT: Caribbean Vacation

    I think any resort worth it's salt is going to have local food. In DR had yucca, Jamaica had ackee and meat patties (really liked chicken liver at breakfast) and Mexico had chilaquiles. Didn't see mangu in DR in the resort unfortunately. Generally if you go somewhere not saturated with...

    OT: Caribbean Vacation

    The water quality is really high versus other places in the Caribbean I have been to- Jamaica, PR, Cancun, PDC and Tulum. Not sure versus other islands, hoping to try more.
