I totally understand this TPASteph. At Rutgers, everyone also says we are nothing but numbers. Well, while not EVERY single professor and student might know you, you would be surprised by what a small world it is. I run into people I know all the time. In my major and minor, my professors know me by name as well. Even some of my freshman year intro class professors remember me and still say hello when they see me on campus. Greek system wise, while we may have TONS of fraternities and sororities, "going Greek" is considered stupid and not necessary for a lot of RU students, making a lot of chapters smaller than they would be. Still, practically every national fraternity and sorority have a house and we do have a Frat Row. So in some aspects we are lucky. And I honestly could not see MYSELF anywhere else but good ole Rutgers. Plus, everytime I visit a small college, I feel like I am in high school all over again. Thats NOT what I want to feel like while being at college!
