Get better grades
"Survey says"... students who live on campus do better academically. They take more academic credits, have higher grade-point averages, and graduate at a higher rate. Give yourself a competitive edge. Achieve more here at Rutgers and you'll have a better chance in the job market!

Develop your independence
Live on campus and have the freedom and responsibility of your own space, your own schedule, your own priorities. On-campus living gives you, and your parents, a little more privacy.

Don't pay a fortune
Live on campus and pay a competitive cost for housing and meals. You'll have no extra utility bills or advanced rent security deposit. No expensive trips to the grocery store, and no chasing down roommates for their part of the rent.

Make college life easier
Live on campus and enjoy the convenience of being close to classes, the student center, libraries, computer labs, good places to eat (and lots of them), recreation facilities, and tons of campus events. And, no matter which campus you live on, you're always near a campus bus stop.

Make friends and feel connected
