Rutgers Campus Selection

<p>Hi. I am interested in attending Rutgers Business School. I have read online that Livingston is soon going to be the new Business hub. While this should make me want to dorm there, I have also heard that there are a lot of parties on Livingston and therefore I might be distracted. Busch campus is my other option, but it seems that perhaps Livingston might be closer to my business classes. However, I have heard that Busch is nicer overall, although Livingston has new dorms I heard. </p>

<p>Which campus should I choose? Also, since I am in the SAS honors program, which suites should I choose?</p>

<p>I’m not sure if I’m the most qualified to answer this question, but because I live less than 5 minutes away from Rutgers and I’ll be attending RBS-NB, I’ll give it a whirl.Although I’m sure there will be parties on whichever campus you decide to live on, I’ve never heard of their being a party on Livingston. When I party at Rutgers with my friends, we go to the frat houses on College Ave. College Ave is by far the busiest campus because it is located in New Brunswick and it appears that the most social students live on that campus. Busch is nice, there are new apartments going up there, and it is always quiet whenever I visit. There is a large population of Asian students that live on Busch. Cook is devoted mostly to SEBS students and unless you’re a science major, you probably won’t want to live there. I can’t comment on the dorms. Douglass is largely dominated by women, but again I can’t comment on this campus. Livingston is right by the Rutgers Athletic Center and a lot of renovation is/was being done on this campus. From what I heard, new classrooms are being added as well as apartments. I’m very pleased that the college is investing in the business program, something it is well known for. For me it is a toss up between Livingston, College Ave., and Busch, with Livingston being my first choice.</p>

<p>Thank you so much for being so informative!</p>

<p>Busch and Livingston are fine. Dorms are dorms. The suites on Busch are all in the same general area. There are no suites on Livingston.</p>

<p>College Ave can be a bit noisy/distracting.</p>

<p>Don’t live on C/D unless you are a SEBS student. The buses are a pain.</p>

<p>Honors Housing</p>

<p>In honors housing, you live with other students who share your passion for learning, gain tips and insights into Rutgers from upperclassmen, and participate in special programs, trips, and events.</p>

<p>•The School of Arts and Sciences Honors Program recommends that all first-year honors students choose the honors residential option. Honors housing is available on Busch, College Avenue, Douglass, and Livingston campuses.
•Students in the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences honors program have the option of living with other honors students on a designated floor of Nicholas Hall on the G.H. Cook Campus.
•Incoming members of the School of Engineering have the opportunity to live in a first-year engineering residence hall on Busch Campus. A special section of the engineering community is also designated as a School of Engineering honors floor.
•Students in honors housing at Douglass Residential College, a distinct community focused on women’s development, can apply for special funding for their research projects.

<p>rualum, could you explain what the living learning communities and special interest housing are all about?</p>

<p>sable I don’t have direct experience with living/learning communities. Basically, they are housing options where like-minded students can live together. </p>

<p>Click on this link and scroll down to “Living learning communities and special interest housing” [Campus</a> Housing & Dining | Rutgers?New Brunswick](<a href=“http://nb.rutgers.edu/student-experience/campus-housing-dining]Campus”>http://nb.rutgers.edu/student-experience/campus-housing-dining) There are descriptions listed for each program, just click on the campus, then click on the program name. There are a lot of choices listed.</p>

<p>thanks rualum</p>

<p>Living-learning communities are a great way to make friends and to make Rutgers feel like a much smaller place. Not only will you be living with these students, you will be collaborating with them in activities and attending events together. You will also have the opportunity to bond over a common interest (German, French, Social Justice, Business etc.).</p>
