Here’s the lowdown on the four campuses that make up RU. Choose wisely, depending on your classes and what kind of vibe you want.
It’s in the center of pretty much everything, with lots of miscellaneous classes and the main party hot spot. It doesn’t have the greatest dining hall, though, and there isn’t a lot of privacy and/or quiet.
Livingston has the classiest campus with one of the best dining halls and lots of business classes. It’s the freshman campus, which means there are plenty of opportunities to meet with like minded freshmen in the same boat. Unfortunately, it’s the smallest campus with the worst dorms.
Busch is an enormous campus, and the hub for all things science and engineering. It has pretty much everything, from a stadium to the gym to the rec center. Bonus: air conditioned suites. It’s almost too quote, though. It has a very studious atmosphere that’s a bit detached from the main campus.
The Cook/Douglass campus has a lush, green, and tranquil feel. It’s home to most of the SEBS classes, and has one of the best dining halls. It’s really quiet, but almost too quiet. It’s unfortunately the most detached campus and hard to get to and from.
Neilson’s the dining hall on the Cook/Douglass campus. The more you know, right?

College is a time when you find the people you really click with, so don’t go by standard clique classifications!
They are figuratively and quite literally heart stopping, given what’s in them. Try them at least once during your time at Rutgers.
