On-Campus Housing for Graduate Students
Students often prefer to stay on-campus, especially in their first couple of semesters at Rutgers. Living on-campus allows you to be in walking distance of your department/ lab, facilities such as the library, gym and student center. Each graduate housing unit is supervised by one or two graduate students who help organize events for their residents.
