A learning community is a self-selected group of students who share similar academic interests and explore them together in common courses and out of classroom activities. These communities are residentially based, which means that participating students live in the same residence hall and floor.  

RU ready to move to campus? We are excited to see you back on campus for your move-in. Here is some helpful information for this big day! An official email with check-time times and dates will be sent out as your move-in date gets near! However, if your plans have changed, and you are no longer in need of on campus housing, please email our Assignments Director at aei3@rutgers.edu to cancel your housing before move in day, to avoid accruing housing charges
