Get Oriented

A student getting off the Rutgers busTo get you up and running, you’ll need to know the basics. What are the options for housing? Where’s the library? What sort of student IDs do you need?  Get the scoop on daily living at Rutgers: transportation, health services, news sources, computing assistance, where to get help, and more.

Learning beyond the Classroom

Students in a cranberry blogThere’s a world of ideas out there to make your own—on your own time. Dive in and explore. Go beyond regular coursework in your first year and take a Byrne Seminar, join a professional society and get insider perspectives, ask a Pulitzer Prize-winning author a question.
