Dorms at Rutgers Camden Campus
Read Time:2 Minute, 19 Second
“There’s no hidden costs, all of the costs to living in the dormitory here at the Rutger’s Camden Campus are listed on the contract.” This is something that Dr. Scheibler, Director for Residents Life and Housing Experience, has stated when asked for a word on the topic.
According to Scheibler, living on campus gives you access to multiple student amenities which include but are not limited to computer labs, study centers, lounges, game rooms, and even free laundry.
One major benefit that Scheibler has stated is that all students who live in the dorms get their own area to park, so parking is never an issue for them.
The only downside that Scheibler shared was that they have a limited number of spaces, meaning anyone who wants to live on campus should get their housing applications done and turned in as soon as they open, which should be around mid spring of 2026.
There are rules to living on campus which are designed to keep the peace of the dormitories, anyone interested can find the rules here.
One issue Scheibler cited is how there aren’t many grocery stores nearby or even within Camden, “The Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs and the SGA are working on increasing resources. We also encourage students to attend these SGA meetings.”
Still, there are a variety of different areas and activities that students can utilize nearby. For instance, there’s the Camden Waterfront where the aquarium is located.
According to Scheibler, the area where the dorms are located and the areas nearby are all safe, “There’s a strong security presence in the area, with not only Rutger’s police and security patrolling but also Camden City police and even the Delaware port authority around.”
Romell Matias, a Biology major at Camden County College who lives off campus in the area states that living off campus gives you the experience of living either on your own or with a roommate, while also giving you the opportunity to essentially not have any interference towards anything you’re doing.
Some downsides that Matias states are the costs and the chances of having a terrible roommate. Matias has also stated that working and studying at the same time while living off campus is rather difficult, “If it’s a full time job, you may need to inform them of your school schedule to prepare better since living on campus, you live directly next to the university, meaning you can get home immediately from class, but living off camps means you have to factor in different variables like traffic or how far you live overall.”
Those interested in renting out a dorm room can do so on the housing website.
