Rutgers University–New Brunswick Cook/Douglass Campus

This is an incredible campus. My colleagues and I had developed a very in depth plan for a class project to give to our (sadly now passed away) teacher/advisor/mentor. Our teamwork created a really strong transportation system for elderly or low income people to get around at a low cost. My friend, Kirsten, she worked for WIC at the time and she spend a lot of time on this project. When my computer was stolen in 2017, I fear our work was compromised and our intellectual property rights were violated. After all, we developed all of this for Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey. I think it also hits a nerve for me because I know how far I commuted (TIME) and how much MONEY my parents spent on out of state tuition for me. I loved my life at Rutgers. When I graduated, I didn’t make the cut for the nutrition programs I applied to. So, I went for something my friend Gabby’s friend at the time said was an option — sport management. This was an opportunity to keep advancing my education. The only downside was that the dorming situation at Barry University was a disgrace. My roommate complained even to maintenance many times (advocating for us). She saw me struggling. I would tell her I was going to job interviews, but really I was going to doctors. The stress, anxiety, and illness was unbearable. I lost a ton of weight and ended up in a very bad place…due to people judging me based on appearance instead of listening to me. Moral of the story — New Jersey is a fabulous place for education. Just don’t ever make friends with an L, they will offer you drugs and try to leach onto you and turn people against you. Don’t let Ls back in your life. Losers. Keep the good energy, the good memories, and remember who you are. Amen.

There is no air conditioning in the dorm rooms and it can be torture on hot days. The Cafeteria is amazing, it accommodated to my friends needs when they were celebrating Ramadan. Overall a nice place and a beautiful campus.
