Campus Housing & Dining

With its five campuses, Rutgers–New Brunswick offers an eclectic variety of options for student housing and dining. You can grab a burger or sushi at a student center, or you can head to the salad bar or grill at a dining hall; you can live in an apartment in downtown New Brunswick or a residence hall with river views. Each campus offers a distinct experience, with choices ranging from large, lively residence halls to small, intimate houses. Wherever you live, you’ll be a short walk or bus ride from the dining halls, cafes, library, sports fields, and classes.

Options for Off-Campus Living

Looking for resources and assistance with off-campus housing? We’ve got it. The Off-Campus Housing Service will help you find housing, or a roommate, and sort through issues involved in renting, such as leases.

The Role of the RA (Resident Assistant)

Living on campus isn’t just about convenience—it’s also about support.

In your residence hall, you’ll find Resident Assistants (RAs)—upper-class students handpicked and trained to help you through any rough spots. These in-residence peers can answer your questions, address your concerns, or refer you to the right university resource to handle any issue. They know the Rutgers routine—and are eager to share their experience. Learn more.

Tradition and Camaraderie

Looking for tradition in your housing? The first fraternity at Rutgers opened its doors in 1845. Now the campus has more than 70 fraternities and sororities, and you can live in a chapter house as early as your second semester. Learn more.
