To enable students in the School of Engineering to take advantage of the residence halls and commuter programs, dining halls, health centers, and other student service facilities in the New Brunswick/Piscataway area, each engineering student is affiliated with one of three residential colleges: Douglass College, Livingston College, or Rutgers College. Four-year bioresource engineering students may affiliate with Cook College after the first year. Students affiliated with Cook College have their campus post office boxes assigned on the Cook College campus. Affiliates of all other colleges have post office box assignments at the Busch campus Post Office. Applicants to the School of Engineering must state a preference regarding affiliation at the time they acknowledge their admission. Before selecting one of these residential colleges for affiliation, applicants should read the relevant sections in this catalog describing resident and commuter lifestyles.
The choice of a college of affiliation does not affect the engineering student`s admission, program of study, or academic standing, since engineering students remain under the academic jurisdiction of the School of Engineering throughout their four-year program.
