<p>So I'm starting at Rutgers for my grad degree in the fall. I went somewhere else for undergrad so I don't really know the campus and have only actually been there a handful of times. I will my living with my parents to save money until I complete my degree so now I'm wondering what option would be better for me: driving or using NJ transit. I live in Gloucester County so the transit would not be an easy one, it would take about three hours according to the NJ transit website. I only have class twice a week this semester so it might not be the big of a deal and that combined with the NJ transit student discount it can be very affordable. On the other hand the convenience of driving can't be ignored. But it's an hour and a half drive and I have to pay for gas and a parking permit. I was looking at Rutgers parking info and they have day and night commuting, and I have one night class so I'm really confused about that. Can anyone give any advice on this increasingly frustrated topic?</p>
<p>Oh and I forgot to mention that the Rutgers campus is the New Brunswick campus.</p>
<p>I would probably drive since it’s 2x per week. </p>
<p>Commuters
Commuter students parking zone assignments are made, by the student, when the
permit is purchased. From 6:00 am to 6:00 pm, commuter students must park in their
assigned zone only and use the intercampus transit system for travel to other campuses.
From 6:00 pm to 2:00 am, commuter students may park in any commuter lot and some
unrestricted faculty/ staff on any campus. Visit the RUDOTS website for information
regarding specific parking restrictions. </p>

<p>If you have specific questions, call Rutgers DOTS. They are usually very helpful.</p>
<p>Both would be equally frustrating. I know that if you go the NJTransit route, you can park at one of the locations on the Riverline, take the rail to Trenton, then from Trenton go to New Brunswick.</p>
