Housing & Dining

Our residential community celebrates and promotes diversity, fosters respect and leadership skills, and facilitates a wide variety of experiences and activities that support the development of well-rounded individuals.

More and more, NJIT students are choosing to live on campus in one of our four residence halls -more than 2,000 students this year, including about half of the first-year class.



Students like the convenience of campus living:  access to classes, the library, computer labs, activities, recreational centers, study groups and faculty.  Living on-campus offers a host of other opportunities for students: easy access to New York City (20 minutes by train), New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC), Newark Museum, adjacent colleges (Rutgers-Newark, and Essex County College); and the chance for you to be independent, living on your own and making decisions.

NJIT offers you many choices both as a commuter and a resident student, including choice meal plans and dining options.
