Office of Housing & Residence Life
Welcome
Welcome to the residence halls!
At the Office of Housing and Residence Life, we are committed to providing a safe, secure, and well-maintained on-campus living environment that fosters personal growth, social connection, academic success, and the celebration of individual differences.
Our goal is to build vibrant communities that support students in every aspect of their journey—academically, socially, and personally—in line with the mission of Rutgers University–Camden. We believe living on campus is a transformative part of the college experience and a defining chapter in our students’ time here.
We encourage you to familiarize yourself with all parts of our website before or as soon as you arrive on campus. We look forward to welcoming you to the residence halls!

These visits typically include an information session presented by an Admissions Counselor and a campus tour led by our Raptor Ambassadors. Register for a campus visit to learn more about how we value hands-on, experiential learning and explore our diverse, close-knit campus community!
