Rutgers University

I enrolled in the Big Data / Data Analytics program in October 2016. It was supposed to be a 44 week program. My instructor seemed to not have control of our cohort. My cohort seemed to lag significantly behind the other cohorts. I was forced to wait for them to catch which made learning problematic. What I learned would grow stale while I waited for my cohort to catch up so we could move on to the next section. To compound this, my instructor resigned earlier this year and I was assigned a new instructor.... Read More He emailed me that he was going to start setting up meetings. I responded to him. It was over a month and he never responded back. I followed up to try and arrange a meeting. When I heard back from the instructor, I suggested the following week for us to discuss getting back on track and I never heard back. I allotted a year for this program to be completed and its become difficult to continue to allot time when this should've been completed ages ago. I feel the university has failed to fulfill its obligations for the proscribed course. Im still fighting with them for a refund. I know overall Rutgers is a great institution but they really missed the mark (big time) with this program.

I was so fortunate to have attended Rutgers for my undergraduate degree. As a local New Jerseyan, it was a tough decision. There are dozens of colleges and universities in the tri-state area alone, and the level of competition among schools along the East Coast is intense. Having good grades and excellent recommendations, I knew I had choices. I flew as far as Arizona and aspired as high as Princeton! But in the end, the culture of inclusiveness, of academic prowess dating back to the the pre-Revolutionary... Read More War area, all for a more than reasonable price in comparison to like schools made choosing Rutgers a no-brainer. The research opportunities, student involvement activities, and networking possibilities are boundless in this massive five-campus school. I highly recommend Rutgers to anyone, especially if you live out of state!
