Housing for freshman 2017

If anyone notices the portal for housing open up, can you please post? It should happen around mid-to late February and is first come first serve. Thanks!!

Ive heard they renovated a lot of the dorms a year or two ago. Im still not sure which NB campus I would want to dorm in though

my sons 1st choice, college ave, 2nd Livingston.

My son wants Busch to be close to most classes.

@njmom224 I read somewhere back in Sept. that Rutgers was trying to house students closer to their glasses so they could cut down on the busing, or make it so the students don’t have as much stress getting to classes. I hope that’s what they do. Did you say your son got in the Honors Program for SAS? Or is he going for Pharmacy? Has he decided? The Busch honors housing sounds really nice.

Hi @Run4life99. Thanks for asking. He has not decided. We are going to the pharmacy info day on Feb 18 and probably the Honors day the next week. With either decision, he will have Bio, chem, calculus and English. Most of these, except English, should be on Busch. The majority of upper level courses will be on Busch, so in the long run I think this is his key campus. To me College Ave is the nicest, but not for his plans! The Honors housing does look nice. It is a tough call. If he even thinks he might want to do Pharmacy this is his best chance. On the other hand, the honors program has some social aspects that I think he could really use. He initially applied to Rutgers, because it is one of the schools with a major in genetics. Pharmacy was a secondary idea that has grown on him.

Housing is available.

Sadly, this ost was past my bedtime, but we got in this morning and submitted the application. Hopefully we are near top of the list as my son has a strong preference. Hope everyone sees @Run4Life99 post and gets in early to get what he or she wants.
