Avantages
Rutgers has a large community of scientists with lots of resources and collaboration across disciplines. Professors whom I've known there have been among the tops in their respective fields but usually have not let it go to their heads. Working with them has generally been like working with colleagues on the same team. Most of the campuses are green and beautiful.
Inconvénients
Rutgers is very large and spread out over several sprawling campuses that surround and dwarf the city of New Brunswick. Therefore, if some of your colleagues are on different campuses, it can be logistically difficult to get together with them regularly for meetings and seminars. However, a majority of the science and engineering labs are consolidated on the Busch campus, and the agricultural (some related biological) research groups are consolidated across the Raritan River on the Cook Campus in close proximity to the agricultural experimental station.
