This review is a little lengthy, but I strongly encourage prospective students and their families…read moreto take the time to read it. What follows is my personal experience with Rutgers University-Camden's Business School. The issues I encountered not only forced me to withdraw from an entire semester during a government shutdown but ultimately led to my complete withdrawal from the university. Pursuing a college education is a significant financial investment and a major life decision. Before committing your time, money, and future to any institution, I believe it is important to understand the experiences of students who have attended. I am sharing mine so others can make an informed decision about the challenges they may encounter.
I would strongly caution prospective students, especially disabled students and veterans using VA education benefits, before enrolling at Rutgers University-Camden. As a 100% permanently and totally disabled veteran with a documented learning disability, my experience was appalling. Rutgers repeatedly failed to properly implement my approved disability accommodations, including examination time limits that did not meet my approved requirements. Equally disturbing was the language used by faculty when addressing disability-related matters. One professor referred to me as an "especially abled child," while another characterized my accommodation concerns as "personal requirement issues." I found these remarks inappropriate, demeaning, and unacceptable in a university setting. Despite repeatedly reporting these incidents, along with troubling faculty conduct, grading transparency concerns, and accommodation failures, I received dismissive responses and little meaningful intervention. I escalated my concerns through Disability Services, business school administration, the Ombudsperson, the Dean of Students, and ultimately the Dean of the Business School and the university Chancellor. Multiple administrators were included in written correspondence documenting these concerns, yet the problems remained unresolved. I was repeatedly directed back to the very professor whose conduct I had reported.
Beyond the classroom, I encountered recurring problems with bookstore funding, textbook charges, and the administration of my VA Chapter 31 education benefits, requiring repeated intervention. Ultimately, I withdrew from Rutgers on September 25, 2026, despite maintaining a 3.93 GPA. Even after my withdrawal, an associate dean contacted me about completing another examination rather than addressing the serious concerns I had raised. My experience left me with serious concerns about the university's treatment of disabled students and veterans, its administrative accountability, and its willingness to address reported faculty misconduct. I have retained extensive email correspondence and documentation supporting my account. A prestigious university name means nothing when students must repeatedly fight for their approved accommodations, dignity, and basic respect. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Rutgers University-Camden.
