Rutgers University offers a variety of housing options. On the [[New Brunswick, New Jersey|New Brunswick]]-Piscataway campus, students are given the option of on-campus housing in both traditional [[dorm]]s or apartments. Freshman students, however, are allowed only a dorm, while upperclassmen have a wider array of on-campus housing choices, like apartments, but must apply for on-campus housing through the Rutgers online lottery process. Most students seeking on-campus housing will be accommodated with a space and sophomores are guaranteed housing.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ruoncampus.rutgers.edu/selection/rising-sophomore-preference/|title=Rising Sophomore Preference for Housing (3-Year Phase)|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180629155241/http://ruoncampus.rutgers.edu/selection/rising-sophomore-preference/|archive-date=June 29, 2018|url-status=dead|access-date=June 29, 2018}}</ref> Many Rutgers students opt to rent apartments or houses off-campus within the city of New Brunswick.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://newbrunswick.rutgers.edu/about/facts-figures|title=Facts & Figures|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180629155433/https://newbrunswick.rutgers.edu/about/facts-figures|archive-date=June 29, 2018|url-status=dead|access-date=June 29, 2018}}</ref> Similar setups are to be found in Rutgers–Newark and Rutgers–Camden.

Rutgers University's three campuses are in [[Newark, New Jersey|Newark]], [[Camden, New Jersey|Camden]], and [[New Brunswick, New Jersey|New Brunswick]].

In 2008, ''[[U.S. News & World Report]]'' ranked [[Rutgers University–Newark]] the most diverse university campus in the United States.<ref>[http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/college RankingsAndReviews.com] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080822063335/http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/college |date=August 22, 2008 }} from ''U.S. News & World Report'' accessed September 9, 2006</ref> Because the area of Rutgers' New Brunswick-Piscataway campus—which is composed of several constituent colleges and professional schools—is sprawled across six municipalities, the individual campuses are connected by an inter-campus bus system. The [[Rutgers Buses|Rutgers bus system]] is the second-largest bus service in New Jersey, transporting six million passengers on an annual basis.<ref>[https://www.metro-magazine.com/10025178/rutgers-selects-first-transit-as-bus-operator "Rutgers selects First Transit as bus operator"], ''Metro magazine'', November 15, 2010. Accessed January 1, 2025. "In July 2011, First Transit will begin operating New Brunswick, N.J.-based Rutgers University’s Campus Bus Service, providing students with efficient and reliable transportation in and around the campus. The university’s Campus Bus Service is the second largest operating bus system in New Jersey, transporting more than six million passengers annually and providing more than 70,000 passenger trips per day."</ref>
