Make a smooth transition.
At some point in your college search you’ll start wondering
how—not
if—you’ll fit in at Rutgers. Will you make friends? have fun? like your classes? find your place? At Rutgers, you’re sure to find your place because there’s so many places to be.
Rutgers is made smaller by its many communities: schools, campuses, residence halls, learning communities, research teams, intramural clubs, student groups, and more. And Rutgers has a carefully developed network of formal support systems to connect you with everything we offer:
- Residence Life makes you feel at home, with a special emphasis on programming for first-year students.
- Student Life promises you’ll get involved—starting at New Student Orientation, your two-day intro to Rutgers.
- Rutgers Learning Communities bring together like-minded students in settings from social events to living-learning residences.
- Rutgers Learning Centers ease the adjustment to college-level study with a slate of academic services.
- Academic advising is one on one, with deans from your school and professors from your department.
So explore on your own or rely on Rutgers’ dedicated staff. You’ll find multiple layers of personal support—and the perfect place to be.
