NEW HOUSING OPTIONS AT RUTGERS

A new residence hall on the Busch campus is accepting applications for students in the Schools of Arts and Sciences, Engineering and Pharmacy. Residents will explore the ecological impacts, health issues and engineering challenges of the Gulf Oil Spill-- just one of many learning communities!

For sophomores, juniors and seniors only, there's also a new gender-neutral housing option that affords students greater choice of roommates. This is a pilot program for a small number of students who must opt in to participate. Rutgers now joins the growing list of colleges and universities who provide safe space for all students, regardless of their sex or gender identification.
