I thought I'd establish a separate link for this because Barchi says so many interesting things. For instance, he launches a full-blown defense of being big time in athletics.

I was enrolled in Livingston, but 95%+ of my non-business school classes were on C/D and College Ave. I actually don't remember any non-business school courses off the top of my head that I actually took on Livingston.Originally posted by derleider:
It is pretty Rutgersian that when they consolidated the colleges and deregulated housing, they didnt put in a system to still try and align housing and student classroom use (which was less of an issue before the consolidation since Douglas, Livingston, and Cook were all for their own students only.)
Tony, I'm very surprised by what you say. When I was in the University Senate before the consolidation, I was repeatedly told that there were many, say, Douglass College students who took most of their courses outside Douglass. And the same can happen, I was told, for Rutgers College students taking math or scientific courses. Isn't that right?Originally posted by TonyLieske:

I stand corrected. I guess as a Cook student it wasnt as big of a problem before consolidation. But certainly it explains the consolidation - if most people were taking many of their classes on other campuses anyway, the distinction had already ceased to be meaningful except to very specific majors.Originally posted by _dave_:
I was also enrolled at Livingston and didn't take a single class on that campus. All but 4 classes were on College Ave with the remaining on Douglass.
I guess it would depend on the student.Originally posted by camdenlawprof:
