Rutgers-Camden.
Serious.

College.
Party, hang, chill, whatever. Is that what the next phase of your life is going to be about? If it is, you’re reading the wrong book.

Not that we have anything against hanging or chilling or whatever. Sometimes you gotta. But you can do that on your own time, for a lot less money and a lot less effort. This book is about your career and your future.This book is about getting serious.

You have some important decisions to make. The good news is that there are a lot of fine colleges and universities from which to choose—the bad news is that only a few will provide exactly that combination of people, place and attitude that lead to your fulfillment and success. And it can be very hard to discover which is your best choice by looking at 50 college viewbooks that all seem to have the same pretty pictures, the same happy students, the same brilliant faculty—and the same story to tell.

Serious Preparation.
At Rutgers-Camden, we aren’t above using pretty pictures and quoting happy students. And we will talk about our superb faculty and academic achievement and international reputation (it is Rutgers, after all). But the story we tell will be different, because this is a special place. A place that’s all about serious preparation for your future. A place where you can ready yourself for a world that will probably be 50 percent reinvented in just the time you’re in school. Where you will be exposed to some of the smartest, most accomplished teachers anywhere. Where you will be an important part of one of the most diverse, real-world student bodies anywhere. A place that looks exactly like the future.

This book is about Rutgers-Camden, and why it might be your best choice. We won’t tell you it’s perfect and we won’t tell you it’s easy. If you’re used to perfect and easy, you probably don’t need us. We will tell you that Rutgers-Camden is a safe, charming campus, surrounded by a stimulating metropolitan area (the center of Philadelphia is just across the Benjamin Franklin Bridge). Rutgers-Camden is not Rutgers-Lite: It is all the world-respected power and prestige of Rutgers—in an affordable package of small classes and close contact with your teachers. It is in the center of a region of tremendous business and scientific activity and opportunity. Its campus is a peaceful, green oasis, easily accessible and bursting with energy. Rutgers-Camden is practical, secure, vibrant and totally committed to the notion that serious preparation and training can actually be, well, fun.

What comes next in your life?

Keep asking yourself that question as you read on. If you’re motivated to get serious about reaching your potential and taking your future by storm—with a lot of very good help—Rutgers-Camden has the answer.
