There is no university housing available on either the Piscataway/New Brunswick Campus or the Camden Campus. However, there are more than adequate numbers of apartments, townhouses, condominiums, houses and rooms for rent within a short distance of all the Campuses. The Office of Student Affairs, in conjunction with the First Year Orientation Committee, hosts two "Housing Days" during the summer months. Incoming students are given the opportunity to meet potential roommates and to discuss housing issues with upper-class students. The Office of Student Affairs maintains a source listing which contains updated housing information. Similarly, the Office of the Associate Dean for Academic and Student Affairs assists students in finding housing either in Camden or the surrounding suburbs. Rapid transit is available one block from the Camden Campus, placing New Jersey suburbs and downtown Philadelphia within a few minutes of travel. On-call rooms are provided for medical students at all of the clinical sites.
