Its a decent place for graduate study if you land with the right professor. - Avis employé Research Assistant Rutgers University

Close to NYC. They provide great health benefits for TA/GAs. The community is very ethnically diverse and welcoming to international students. Many departments are pretty decent if not great for graduate studies. However, it all depends on the professor you work with and the vibrancy of the lab. Lots of things to do in weekends- pretty decent bars and pubs. There are a couple of theaters and playhouses too.
