Residence Life

Rutgers University–New Brunswick is opening all residence halls for the 2021-2022 academic year. Students who wish to live in on-campus housing must apply by their priority deadline. We are excited to return to a much more normal campus and welcome more students back to the banks for 2021-2022.

New First-Year Students should apply by June 7.
New Transfers students should apply by June 30.

Of course, our return-to-campus plans may need to change based on factors like the progress of the pandemic and guidance from governmental authorities. For details, deadlines, and FAQs visit: go.rutgers.edu/housingupdate.
