Campus Housing

Life on campus is another facet to college life.

The School of Engineering community is connected by common interests and goals that are reinforced across the campus in many ways, including residence life.

First-year Engineering

All first-year engineering students are eligible for on-campus housing on the New Brunswick campuses, with the option to live in one of the two designated engineering residence halls located on the Busch campus: Barr Hall and Mattia Hall. Rooms are assigned on a first come, first served basis. Students should indicate their preference on the on-line housing application.
