Rutgers-Camden Class of 2017
Just sent in paperwork for Rutgers-Camden, anybody else make it official? I had until April 15th to say if I wanted in with my scholarship money or not.

They gave me until 4/30 to make it official....still waiting on a few other schools, but they've made the decision very tough! Are you from NJ?

Checking in. I submitted my reservation last week and received my shirt and hat yesterday- looks like a softball uniform ha. I'm looking forward to the fall.
Not doing jump-start, btw

Me neither. Too much OT in the summer for me to pass up.
I'm also skipping on 330 Cooper as of now. Looking in Center City around the PATCO lines.

Re: Rutgers-Camden Class of 2017
Accepted my offer here a few weeks ago. I go to Rutgers-Camden undergrad and basically walk by the law school every single day. I live in south Jersey and commute via train so if anyone has any questions about the area feel free to ask.

The PATCO line will be my lifeblood, I intend to live in Center City. I've asked many South Jersey locals about it though, they said it should be fine.

Re: Rutgers-Camden Class of 2017
Confirmed that I am attending Rutgers - Camden!
Anyone looking to share housing? After doing a bit of research spending over $1000 a month to SHARE an apartment with several other people at 330 Cooper seems like a ripoff considering the cheap housing options available in the area (also you can't open the windows - yuck!), specifically The Victor, which has 1 bedrooms starting at $1095. Since I am 100% committed to going into public interest law, and looking forward to an unpaid internship this summer, I have to stretch my funds as far as possible to cover summer expenses. I have read past threads where students were able to share a 1 bedroom loft in The Victor(one person has room in living room area, the other has bedroom). I currently am living in an arrangement like this and it has worked out quite well for me.
Would anyone be interested in exploring this option with me? Also, looking on craigslist, there seems to be quite a few decent looking houses renting for super cheap within blocks of Rutgers. That could be an even cheaper option if we wanted to get really ambitious...
Anyway PM me if you're interested!

Good news. RU placed in the top 50 for Above the Law's rankings. They place a greater emphasis on jobs and debt than US News. Here is the link: http://abovethelaw.com/careers/2014-law ... -rankings/

Re: Rutgers-Camden Class of 2017
Yes...and ATL's ranking methodology is much more useful to applicants and students. U.S. News is a fraud anyways. I doubt it sends out enough surveys to justify its claims. I still have yet to meet a judge, prof or admin who has ever received one, and they would be largely ill-equipped to comment on any schools other than those at which they teach or attended.JohnnyRutgers wrote:Good news.

It's "reputation" metric is thus skewed and virtually useless, library size and number of volumes is irrelevant due to the widespread use of Lexis and Westlaw (and their reduced costs), and per-student expenditures are manipulated. On top of that, GPA's don't figure much into student quality because of rampant grade-inflation and qualitative disparities between colleges and majors.
IMO, ATL's ranking is the only one worth giving serious weight to. Princeton Review is somewhat useful, and even law school 100 (with its batch-style rankings) presents a more accurate picture.
What matters in the end is OUTCOMES...JOBS!

Re: Rutgers-Camden Class of 2017
I am rising 2L at Rutgers-Camden. If you don't want to spend the money on 330 Cooper (I lived there last year and it definitely has its benefits but is extremely expensive) I suggest looking in Collingswood and Haddonfield for apartments. They are both very nice, small communities, and you can probably find 1 bedroom apartments in the range of $650-750.ioannisk wrote:Hey all, I'm joining you this fall
I'm so confused on how to get my e-mail information though. Also, I have no recieved much on financial aid based on FAFSA, only scholly.
I don't know the area so the idea of living outside school property scares me... (Camden)
I might do jumpstart.
I'm so excited

Not bad, and it is very convenient since right across the street from school. Plus, the Patco is right out back and you can go to Philly and Collingswood easily. Plus, you will meet a lot of your classmates and make friends more easily (which really helps). It is expensive, and privacy is little less but I liked it as a 1L. I would suggest it, especially if you don't know anyone else at the law school, are not from the area, and don't want to worry about commuting nonsense.

Re: Rutgers-Camden Class of 2017
The law school community is friendly and is not cut throat. The professors (at least the ones I had) were great and very helpful. Overall, we are pretty close knit group here.ioannisk wrote:Any idea how many rutgers law graduates grab government jobs? that's what I'm looking for.nick417 wrote:I am rising 2L at Rutgers-Camden.

As for gov't jobs, I don't know. IF you are referring to clerking, lots of students here find clerk positions in the NJ state court systems. I am interning this summer with a Federal Judge in Philadelphia. As for gov't jobs in general, I have no idea.

Re: Rutgers-Camden Class of 2017
Also, if any incoming students have any questions for me, please send me message. I will gladly answer any questions you have about being a 1L and what Rutgers is like. Also, I can give you pointers for class and what not. My suggestion for the summer would be to simply enjoy yourself and don't read a bunch of prep books or anything like that. Your first semester of law school you will be doing more reading than you have ever done in your life before (most likely) enjoy the free time while you can.

Just committed to 330 Cooper. My plan to live in Philly fell through and it seemed living in Center City solo was just as expensive as 330 Cooper.

Has anybody heard anything good about the Victor apartments? I am a little leery of living with 3 other people at 330 Cooper.

Not going to Rutgers-C, but was born and raised in Camden five minutes away from the law school (still live in the city) and can be a help with those who are trying to find a place. There are a lot of reasonable apartments near the PATCO lines in Collingswood, Westmont, Haddonfield, in good neighborhoods.
I'd be more than happy to answer questions via PM.

Re: Rutgers-Camden Class of 2017
Just a few quick questions:
Has anyone heard back yet from Rutgers Housing?
Also does anyone know how the work study program works? I read the Federal financial aid page but I'm still confused on whether they place me in a position or do I need to go and find a job that qualifies.

I have not heard back from Rutgers housing.
Any questions I had with financial aid I called them directly to solve it.
