The Rutgers-Camden Apartments, opened in 1986, has 50 four-bedroom and 12 two-bedroom units housing four law and/or graduate students each. Most law students are assigned to the four-bedroom units. In the event that these private bedroom spaces are filled, students are assigned to a two-bedroom unit (shared bedroom) and placed on a waiting list for a private bedroom. The four students in each apartment share a living room, kitchen and dining area (law and graduate students residing on campus have the option of preparing their own meals in the apartment kitchen and/or purchasing a meal plan), a full bath and vanity, and a large storage closet. Fully furnished, carpeted, and equipped with individually controlled heat and air conditioning, the apartments also are wired for voice, data, and cable TV service.

Additional features of the complex include a vending area and laundromat, social lounges with large-screen cable television, study lounges, a pool table, computer labs, and exercise rooms with both aerobic and conditioning equipment. There is a police-trained, uniformed, security guard at the residence hall entrance at all times. In addition, the parking lot and grounds surrounding the facility are monitored by closed-circuit television.

Students who prefer to live off campus may seek assistance in locating housing and identifying roommates from the Student Bar Association. Early each summer, this organization sponsors a Housing Day.
