Mason Gross, at Rutgers NB, has a good reputation in the visual and in the performing arts. Rutgers NB in general is a good school academically as well.

Yes, it has a rep as a party school - in New Jersey, not outside of NJ. But that’s typical of any big public university’s rep in its northeastern home state. They tend to get overshadowed by the famous private schools in that region, and people from the state often don’t even realize what a gem they have.

Just because people in NJ think Rutgers NB is a party school, that doesn’t mean the school is any more (or less) of a party school than any other school in metro NYC, and it doesn’t mean the school isn’t good.

As the other poster said, if you think you may like Rutgers, go there, tour the place, and make your own decision.
