What to Expect in The Residence Halls

The Residence Halls are more than places to sleep they are also places where you will grow. You will discover new things about yourself. You will meet and live with students from all walks of life. You’ll learn not only about cultural differences, but also about universal similarities. Residence life is a valuable part of your NJCU education and goes a long way in preparing you for your post-university life. You will be part of a variety of ongoing social, cultural and educational activities specifically for residents. Residence Life programs are fun and let you get to know and interact with fellow students in an environment of mutual respect.

Safe

24-Hour Security and More

All residence halls offer 24-hour security, laundry rooms, kitchen facilities, study lounges, computer labs and a variety of educational, community service, and recreational programs.
More Flexibility

It’s so much easier to schedule the classes you want without having to worry about transit schedules and commuting hours. Use newfound time for activities. Extra study. Maybe even a few extra winks of sleep!
Better Grades

Statistics show that resident students get better grades, are almost twice as likely to make the Dean’s List and are more likely to graduate on time. And on-time graduation means less college debt!
Convenience

You’re at the heart of everything. You’re never more than a few minutes away from classes. Activities. Dining. Athletic and fitness facilities. Common areas. And everything else NJCU has to offer.
Sense of Community

Being a resident provides added opportunity to be involved in NJCU’s uniquely diverse social and educational community. You’ll build lifetime friendships, and you’ll grow both personally and socially.
Affordable

When you add up the cost of off-campus housing (rent, utilities, food, commuting), you might be surprised that an NJCU residence and meal plan might be the way to go. Housing grants are available for qualified students.
