SHAH: Even broke college students can save money

Most of us have had a meal plan at some time or the other. As a transfer student, I was on campus for the first time this fall. Naturally, I assumed that a meal plan would be a necessary expenditure.

SHAH: Rutgers students must be consulted in major campus decisions

Over the summer, Rutgers announced that there would be some changes to the bus routes. These bus routes were generally not liked either way, so while these changes seemed to be a minor inconvenience, I do not think many students anticipated the reality of its effect.Sep 27

SHAH: Pandemic policies are not new

As we, Rutgers students and faculty, begin our return to semi-normalcy following a year and a half hiatus, it seems that conversations about "revolutionary" mandates are at the forefront of controversy. Sep 13
