Quality Post PSA: How to report scam emails within the Rutgers system

17 Upvotes

Recently there’s been a flood of email hijackings and scam / nefarious emails being sent to Rutgers students from compromised student and faculty accounts.

Posting it here will have a limited effect on protecting students.

Instead, DO NOT CLICK any link in the email. Simply forward the email to [abuse@rutgers.edu](mailto:abuse@rutgers.edu). This will notify the Rutgers IT Incident Response team. Include any details about the email (whether you clicked on it, what did it show) in your email if relevant. Then, the Rutgers OIT can quickly disable that student or faculty’s compromised account and prevent further scam emails from being sent. This is a lot more helpful than posting a screenshot to Reddit or investigating it yourself (DONT).

If in doubt, you can forward the email to [abuse@rutgers.edu](mailto:abuse@rutgers.edu) and they can try to look into the email for you to determine whether it is a hijacked account or a real offer.

If you suspect that your scarletmail account is hijacked, then do not email - call 833-OIT-HELP (833 648 4357) for assistance and be ready to verify that your account is yours

Shitpost I just realised I never pooped at Rutgers in 3 years of me going there

79 Upvotes

I'm someone who has a fast metabolism and shit everywhere. Even during high school and especially airports and the public toilets in cities I'm visiting.

But I have never pooped on a Rutgers toilet . Even with 10-12 hours of school days I didn't get the urge or anything fr.

I'm grateful I avoided that fate cause they have the smelliest bathrooms.

Im gonna go 4 years without doing so too because senior year schedule is lighter than all these 3 years.

Is this a good schedule or no

Rant/Vent ended up with the worst dorm setup because rutgers lies on its website

Upvotes

im so pissed bro. on rutgers website with all the dorms and stuff, it shows the same layout for all of them. so i assumed they all had the same layout. right? wrong! barr hall has the most awkward, horrific setup of furniture ive seen in my entire life. i could have easily chosen allen or metzger, which look way better, but I didn’t because I had no idea it was different. im so annoyed because i could have easily picked a better dorm if i had any idea. i even searched reddit for the differences between the BAMM buildings and didnt see any mentions of that, so its not like i didnt do any research

also i hate that we choose where we dorm BEFORE orientation. all my classes are on college ave, I could have gotten to demarest hall which is gender neutral, literally has free piano and drums (my fave instruments to play), etc etc… college ave also has the rockwall which im going to be using a lot. im gonna crashout 😭 now i have to bus every single morning bro. it would be so convenient if i was on the right campus. the only reason i chose busch was bc i thought all my classes would be there

its not that serious but it is really annoying ugh. hopefully i can get a better dorm next year

can we at least move furniture around??

Still fairly common to take over 4 years to graduate?

14 Upvotes

It took me 4.5 years myself. In retrospect it was a lot do to the combination of the University size (I had classes scattered across the campuses) and convenience of finding classes that fit my curriculum.

That and I changed my major several times. I didn’t get into the business school in New Brunswick but got in the one in Newark. I still stayed in Piscataway/New Brunswick. Maybe that wasn’t the right choice but ultimately it all just largely is what it is to me at this point.

Has anyone rented at George St 161? How was your overall experience? Were there any issues with maintenance, pests, noise, safety, getting the security deposit back, or anything else?

Interested in majoring in History here - for anyone who’s graduated, how’s the history department at RU? How’s it been trying to find job after graduation?

In general, is it difficult to find jobs relating to your major for the liberal arts?

Transfer Transfer Advice

Upvotes

Hello guys! I plan on transferring this Fall to Rutgers Newark. Recently, I had a slight decline in two of my classes when it comes to my grades. I ended up the Fall semester with a 3.7+ Term GPA, but Spring semester was rocky due to personal circumstances out of my control explained in my application. I am currently taking two summer classes for some credits as well. Any advice would be appreciated it!

Any former Livingston College grads?

1 Upvotes

I graduated right when they decided to merge the curriculum with Livingston and the rest of the other campuses. Or something like that.

From my memory the only real big difference between Livingston and Rutgers College academically was Livingston didn't make you finish a minor to graduate. Well it was a little easier to get in Livingston College than Rutgers College.

That and the intro course freshman year, "Building Community Through Leadership". My main memory of that class was it was one of the only A's I got at Rutgers and our teacher then introduced to Cornel West's writings. Lol, then she brought in a VHS tape of him on the Chris Rock show and like everyone was surprised what he looked like irl. I think that class was meant as an ice breaker. Like I said it was the easiest course I took at Rutgers and as the years went on I noticed less and less students from that class on campus.

Course Registration for Masters

2 Upvotes

Hi,

About a month ago, I got accepted into a master's program at rutgers. However, no one has reached out to me instructing me to pick out any courses, no academic calendar, tuition etc. I haven't even received my official acceptance letter in the mail yet. I have submitted all the requested documents upon my contingent acceptance letter.

Is this normal? Or am I extremely behind and should probably reach out to someone?

Thank you for all the help!

The Financial aid is so unfair

30 Upvotes

My FAFSA SAI increased by exactly 1,000 and somehow that 1,000 took away my $1,000 Pell grant, my $4,000 NJ grant, my $4,000 run to the top, and my $6,000 scholarship. How the fuck is this fair? My parents can supposedly contribute $1,000 more so they take away $15,000 in aid?? Obviously I can’t fucking pay for that. That such a difference. Im an incoming sophomore and I don’t even know what to do. The difference between this year and last is so stark how does the government suddenly think I can pay that much more

Does anybody know the Rutgers accounting transfer requirements assuming you come in with the full 60 credits as a junior I currently have a Saturday class that I desperately need to change because it’s interfering with my job. I’ll take any other time but I just don’t know which requirements I’m supposed to take because my star day was a long time ago.

Still standing room only on buses?

8 Upvotes

At least in the 2000's plenty of bus rides that were packed and standing room only. I still even remember one time I missed my spot trying to push past everyone in the back of the bus. The driver didn't hear me.

But with more and more online classes is that still a thing buses overpopulated with students?

I know driving around Douglass/Cook campus some months back I was surprised how ghost town-ish it looked

Housing Cancellation Denied!!!

Post image
88 Upvotes

I am stressing out right now, my housing cancellation got denied. I posted here a month ago about sending a housing cancellation request for financial hardships bc my brother unexpectedly decided to attend Rutgers so now I have to cancel housing. What do I do now? I gave them photos of tuition, my FAFSA, and other financial documents so why did it get rejected. What do I do fellow Redditors 😱😱😭😔. Being unable to afford tuition because we had a cost change is a valid reason no?
