Right now, Rutgers is installing surveillance cameras - example in pic from Busch campus. The same cameras are also on some Nichol and Richardson apartments, and on Douglass Library and Voorhees Chapel. LMK if you see them elsewhere.

These are not traditional security cameras: they do facial recognition, tracking of people and vehicles, analysis of behavior and can be used to enforce blacklists. Dystopian does not begin to describe these systems, advertised to "Quickly search and find a person or vehicle of interest and track their route."

These cameras use an open network that can be accessed anytime from anywhere: similar systems have been used already in stalking incidents, can be used by ICE agents, and have error rates that are anomalously high for minorities, women and LGBTQ people.  Even for populations of predominantly white men, erroneous targeting is a problem, e.g. here and here.

More details are available, e.g. in this substack.

If you see these cameras, you should be aware of their capabilities.

Today's parking experience at livingston's commuter lot was absolutely miserable and students had no way to plan around it. Being a commuter student is enough of a hassle and your parking prices are pretty high as is.

I get that having a spot available is never a guarantee as is, but we should be made aware directly if the yellow lot is going to be available to non-students.

Also in the off chance you are reading this, thank you to the two students who saw me in the lot and directed me to a nearby open spot. 🙏

Has anyone taken CS 461 (Machine Learning Principles) with Professor Sharon Levy in a previous semester?

I'm currently a senior, and I need to pass this class in order to graduate. I spent the entire week studying for the midterm, but after taking the exam today, I'm honestly really stressed about how I did.

According to the syllabus, an A requires a 92%, a B+ requires an 87%, a B requires an 82%, a C+ requires a 77%, and a C requires a 72%.

I was wondering if anyone who has taken her class before knows whether she curves the midterms or adjusts the final grade cutoffs, especially if the class average is low.

I'm just really worried because I need at least a C to graduate, and I'd appreciate any insight or advice from anyone who's taken her class before.

Thank you so much!

i made a post earlier about my experience with a res life coordinator (thanks for interacting because i was clearly not overreacting!) and it seems quite a few people have also had issues and poor experiences.

if you’re one of them, please fill out this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdn2r8h8PtE52w8vykdSiBusrIzx-YcPy1BOzLMMjUF8OALFQ/viewform?usp=publish-editor

if you know anyone in the buell/silvers/marvin area who had issues, please let them know about this form!

all of these issues will be directed to the director and i am planning to meet with them and share my experience as well.

i am not the first person to be mistreated by tyler bauer, but i hope to be the last.

studied the whole day and skipped a class to study and when exams come out they have the answers and now we gotta take it another day🥀🥀

Took me 20 min to find parking??

Got to yellow lot today and every single spot is filled including spots that aren’t even spots. Even spots at the field across the street What the fuck is happening today LMAO 😭😭

Can any current Standard tenants give me an insight into how the living situation is there currently? I've seen mixed reviews on reddit and wanted to if it's a decent place to live in.

Hi why is yellow lot insanely full today?

Why are Rutgers SAS Deans the most unhelpful people on earth? It would be wonderful if even one of them gave a shit about student success. Sorry, I’m venting…

Or for a brothel. In Livingston SC.

Like I can't be the only one to think it's, um, worded poorly...

Also sorry for the bad lighting- it roughly says, 'Now I know that I'm a man of passion, desire, and experienced strength'.

I enjoy playing fighting games and just reached platinum in SF6. I want to find some community or people to play with and help me improve. Other than that, I play Modern Controls😭. Do I need to switch to Classic now or later, after I'm better with my game sense, or is staying on Modern Controls totally fine?

Where’s a good place I can play the piano on campus. I don’t mind practicing infront of people(I’m reteaching myself) but I’d prefer if I didn’t have too and I’d also prefer if it was somewhere that doesn’t get shut down for events often

Edit: I forgot to mention I don’t have my own piano

I gotta be on CD later tonight but don’t have a permit there. Where should I park that security almost never checks?

im on course sniper and rureg but not a single slot opened. once closer to winter will people drop??? I really need this class

If I already wrote about my family situation in the additional information part of the common app, should I put it again in the writing part of the Rutgers application? It says "do you have any family responsibilities or circumstances, such as severe illness". The situation is that my brother struggled with addiction which sometimes caused an unstable home environment. I put it in the challenges and circumstances part of the common app but it doesnt seem bad/extreme enough for what the Rutgers application lists. Will they look at the additional information section anyway, or will it hurt that i didnt also put it in their application?

I’ve seen so many posts about Rutgers being a difficult place to make friends, I’m an incoming commuting transfer does anyone have any advice?

I’m a senior STEM student here and graduate school is required to get anywhere significant in my career. I’ve always had to work a job on top of school, so I was never a star student that deserves the recommendation letters required for graduate applications. My grades turned out average because it’s what I could give. I would need 3 letters to get into the masters program here. I believe I would do well, but I’m feeling a bit lost. Is anyone having a similar experience?

I want to get an eyebrow piercing but idk where to get it. Does anyone know any good places near college ave? Closer to Tinsley would be best but anywhere is fine.

Note: Not sure how much putting it here is gonna help cause I feel this is where a lot of the Newark and NB people talk, I'm talking about Camden but r/rutgerscamden seems kinda dead, any advice welcome though

So I am currently a student at Rowan University, living with my parents trying to move into an apartment with my coworker and transfer as a commuter to another school. I’m starting my research now and trying to gage what may be the best option of the schools I’m looking at being Rutgers Camden, TCNJ and Rider (though I’m not 100% opposed to staying at Rowan if that ends up being a better fit). My idea outside of just looking around on uni websites was to make a list of things I don’t like about Rowan and go on the school subreddits and see how it compares to experiences of people at these schools. Some of my issues include the following:

Proximity

By this I mean it’s way too close to where I was raised. Obviously that includes my parents who I still live with but more influentially, people I went to high school with. I personally went to school in Cumberland County and I didn’t really have a great experience, so when I graduated I wanted to leave almost all those people behind. But everyday I’m on campus I see at least one person from high school, and honestly it’s kinda demoralizing and makes me feel like I’m not making progress to carve out a life that I want for myself.

Parking

I still plan on commuting to school as mentioned (on campus housing is waaaay too expensive and I don’t got financial aid like that) and I’m not sure if you’ve talked to any Rowan commuters but the parking is genuinely horrible. You have to be there super early or super late to get any somewhat decent parking. It might be one of the biggest shit shows I’ve ever seen and if I can go into a better situation, that’s super appealing.

Nothing To Do

To be fair maybe I don’t involve myself with on campus activities enough but there really isn’t a whole lot to do here, especially when I’m working weekends so it’s kinda hard to go to parties and stuff like that. I find myself in the same few places while on campus mainly just working on more school work. It’s also not even like Glassboro os neighboring cities have a lot to do either, it’s a very family centric atmosphere if you know what I mean (that’s how I feel about all of South Jersey but) and not a lot to do for my age group, compared to other places that may have more campus activities or big cities nearby.

Issues with Staff

Maybe it’s just me, maybe it’s just college, but I have not had a lot of good experiences with Rowan Staff. There’s been a few cool professors here and there but for the most part I feel they don’t really do anything. My academic advisor just kinda repeats the stuff on the website that I’ve already looked at when I ask them about stuff. I feel there’s a general amount of unresponsiveness from a lot of staff, even up to me failing a class due to dealing with outside mental health issues, trying to email the professor to see if I could get an extension on some of the work to not fail, and noting I could provide documentation of my issues, and getting completely ignored and failing the class. Maybe that’s just the way college goes, and my other friends at other unis have complained about similar problems but I don’t wanna believe that’s the case.

Overall I’m just not to fond of being at rowan, when I applied to schools during my senior year of HS it wasn’t even on my original list of apps, and now that I’m trying to get my shit together and move to doing things I actually wanna do with my life, if a transfer is on the table, I would like to explore it. Any feedback is welcome, maybe I’m not considering some factors, just drop your honest raw thoughts, ty.

A bunch of my amazon packages got cancelled because it was apparently refused or undeliverable. But I know that’s not true because my package was delivered after being refunded and also I’ve had multiple packages delivered. Like, some packages didn’t even ship before being declared undeliverable.
