Over rated state college with an old name. Quality of the professors are nowhere near first class and are typical of the Anti-American academic.
If you are looking for the college life, this is NOT the school. There is a total lack of spirit and student life resources due to it being a mostly commuter school. Even commuters are ill treated with horrendous parking. It is primarily designed for those just wanting to take classes and/or get a degree. But in that case, save your money with another less costly state college.
The quality is not here. Just relies on its name, which means nothing.

I disagree with the bashing reviews. Rutgers is prestigious, even the Camden campus. No, it is not Princeton, but then again the tuition costs about 10 times less. Besides, a degree is a degree.

I attended for one semester a long time ago and wasn't very impressed. Perhaps it was my choice of major, but the campus and extra-curriculars seemed sub-par at the time. When I was looking for an MBA program, I was absolutely horrified and appalled to have read an article that gloated over hiring a professor with just an MBA to teach graduate classes. One would think that a PhD would be the entry level requirement to teach graduate level classes - not at Rutgers!

A great school overall in faculty, campus, and student community, however, provides literally the shittiest parking known to mankind. If you must commute, you pay out your ears just to park in a space 5-6 blocks away, even in the summer when the faculty lot is practically empty.

Low-key one of the best universities in the Philadelphia/South Jersey area! The biggest selling point is the amazing faculty. Faculty at Rutgers-Camden are held to the exact same hiring, tenure, promotion, and research standards as the faculty at the many-times-larger Rutgers-New Brunswick, so they are truly top of the line. Unlike almost any other state school, the faculty at Rutgers-Camden only teach 2 courses per semester (rather than 3 or 4), and thus they have enough time to do cutting edge research and are expected to, but they also have more time to interact with students. The campus is also surprisingly peaceful and beautiful and gives you the feel of a small, elite liberal arts college. This is kind of the best of all worlds - a small, intimate campus with small class sizes and lots of interaction with professors plus the cutting edge research and training of a large research university. And all just a 5 minute train ride from downtown Philly!
