  • NJCU Campus Housing

    Following acceptance to the University, interested students may obtain information and an application form for student housing directly from the Office of Residence Life.

    Student Housing Options

    Although the majority of NJCU students commute, approximately 280 students live in three smoke-, alcohol-, and substance-free residence halls offering convenient access to classes, the library, labs, the athletics and fitness center, activities, and events. Enjoy the opportunity to completely experience campus life, meet new people, and learn in a multicultural environment outside of the classroom.

    The University’s Residence Life Program offers campus housing in three residence halls: 

    •  Co-Op Hall –  A traditional, corridor-style dormitory with a common area, bathrooms, a study, and social lounges for freshmen
    •  Vodra Hall – A traditional, corridor-style facility with shared bathrooms between rooms for upperclassmen and special-needs individuals
    •  2040 University Campus Apartments – A residence for graduate students, seniors and mature residents consisting of apartment-style suites for two, three and four individuals   

    All student housing halls offer staff coverage, 24-hour security, on-site laundry and kitchen facilities, study lounges, computer labs and online computer capabilities. Students are provided a meal plan, which can be utilized in the various  campus food facilities, including the Marketplace in the Gilligan Student Union and the Vodra Club located in Vodra Hall. In addition, campus housing residents are encouraged to participate in a variety of educational, community service, and recreational programs offered by the University and the Residence Life Program.
