Rutgers transfer student

<hr>

<p>Okay so here's the deal. I'm currently attending a community college in the state of New Jersey. I will graduate May 2011 with an associates degree on liberal arts general. I really want to continue my education at Rutgers University and since I have been attending a community college for the past two years, I want to live on campus, so I can get "the college experience" at least for the last two-possibly three years that I have remaining. So, my question is: What are some good Suites/Apartments that I can live in? Also, what are possibilities for a trasfer student to get first choice? Or is there a specific place trasnfers are placed for housing? </p>

<p>Thanks in advanced.</p>

<p>Transfers are kind of placed all over. I had a roommate last semester who was a transfer since my other roommate left to go abroad. Even though she was a transfer she wasn’t put with other transfers. But usually they are placed in one of the river dorms on College Avenue, like Campbell Hall, Hardenbergh Hall (where I lived). I heard that some transfers are put in New Gibbons on Douglass campus as well. I’m pretty sure they place you wherever there is vacancy now.</p>

<p>Suites/Apartments? Well, in terms of suites, I believe Busch is the only campus that currently have suites. The popular apartments are Rockoff Hall and Easton Ave Apartments.</p>

<p>Yeah, at this point it’s kinda where ever they can find the room I think. I’m a transfer this semester and I was placed in Wessels on CAC. I, incidentally, did get my first choice campus. I can’t see it being easy to get into a suite or apartment, but if you really want to be in one, you should pick Busch as your first choice.</p>

<p>Thanks so much. @ MushboomBlue, I herd a lot of Rockoff. I would love to live there!
@ Beast Morgan, how is your college experience so far?</p>

<p>I knew a bunch of transfers last year who were placed in Rockoff & New Gibbons</p>

<p>Rockoff has a decent amount of transfers. It has decreased in popularity recently (last lottery it was the last apartment building to fill up) so I don’t think it would be too hard to get a spot there as a transfer.</p>

<p>Thanks Backtothestars, I hope so, for I really want to live there now.</p>

<p>Does anyone know if a transfer student can live with someone that they know who already goes to Rutgers?</p>

<p>I talked to Rutgers housing and what they told me is that I can’t live with someone that already goes to Rutgers initially, but after the first two weeks of classes I can apply for a room swap.</p>
