I am an undergraduate student at Rutgers-Camden studying Biology, and have been working overtime to secure myself a position in veterinary school in the near future. I have spent my past two summers interning at a local wildlife rehabilitation center, conducting research in a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program in Texas, and now in…

As a student in the Rutgers Camden School of Business, I am only required to take one science class. A friend of mine sent me an email about this class and I knew I could not let this slip away. I have never been a fan of learning from a textbook, and this class was…

The Marine Field Ecology trip with Dr.Vagelli is truly an experience. I always found classrooms to be a very boring learning environment; after this trip I know I’m really not going to enjoy sitting in one.

Everyone on the trip had some level of interest in the topic, from the organisms or simply enjoying being in the water for such extended amounts of time. And being surrounded with people that share common interests with you,…

Being a biology major, I wanted to learn as much as I could about different kinds of life forms. I had already learned a little bit about different kinds of organisms, but it was limited to the classroom. Therefore, I decided to take this marine field ecology course so I could have more hands on…

I am currently an undergraduate majoring in biology at Rutgers New Brunswick and wish to pursue a career in medicine. I first learned about this course through a student that had taken it the previous summer. Before taking this class I had very little knowledge of marine biology or ecology, but I had always wanted…

Listen, if you are on this site because you are on the fence about taking this course I am going to save you some time. You should. The other student essays have explained what this trip is about and what it entails more eloquently than I ever could. Really what I have to say is…
