Rutgers University–New Brunswick
📍 New Brunswick, NJ
The quick take
Rutgers New Brunswick spans five campuses and generally supplies Twin XL beds, with a full-bed exception at Sojourner Truth Apartments, which needs Full sheets.
Bed and room basics
Residence halls and apartments typically include a Twin XL bed and mattress, closet or wardrobe, dresser, desk, chair, blinds, floor covering, MicroFridge and internet. Sojourner Truth Apartments provide Full or Double beds. Move-in instructions differ across College Avenue, Busch, Livingston, Cook and Douglass.
Pack first
Bring assignment-size bedding, mattress protector, towels, shower supplies, laundry gear, hangers, cleaning basics and moderate-sized boxes. Not every hall has an elevator, and storage space is limited.
Rules and smart skips
Do not bring an extra refrigerator, toaster, hot plate, personal air conditioner, string lights, candles, incense, heaters, hoverboards or drones. Use the provided MicroFridge and check your specific residence page.
Before move-in
- Confirm your campus, building, room type and bed size.
- Coordinate shared appliances and cleaning supplies.
- Review the latest check-in time, route and unloading rules.
- Keep bedding, identification, medication and chargers accessible.
Five campuses, one very good reason to read the move-in directions before trusting GPS.
