A great variety of housing accommodations is available on the various New Brunswick campuses. Students usually are housed according to the college with which they are affiliated. Rooms in the residence halls are contracted for a full academic year and require that a meal plan be purchased (except apartments with kitchen facilities). Housing is available for students entering in the spring term. Most residence halls close during the winter and spring recesses, but some are available during this period for a slight additional charge. Housing also is available for students attending Summer Session. See the four residential college sections (Douglass, Livingston, Rutgers, and Cook) for descriptions of the types of residential accommodations available. Information also is available at www.housing.rutgers.edu.
