1、Campus
Every campus at Rutgers New Brunswick has its own student center, set of libraries, convenience stores and dining halls. However, the campus environment on each has characteristics that make it unique due to the different academic departments and facilities that the campus is host to.
(1)College Avenue
This campus is a vibrant and lively community anchored by the historic heart of Rutgers, known as Old Queens. It is within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and theaters in New Brunswick, and the train to New York and Philadelphia. The Voorhees classroom mall provides a traditional university environment, and the Zimmerli Art Museum is available to you whether you are an art history major working on a research paper or a science student desiring a moment of cultural enrichment.
(2)Cook/Douglass
Farms, gardens, and research centers are home to the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences (SEBS) on Cook Campus. Campus highlights include the Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences, the beautiful Rutgers Gardens and Helyar Woods, and the Center for Advanced Food Technology. The campus is in close proximity to all student services as well as to most SEBS classes.
(3)Busch
Busch Campus is one of the larger campuses at Rutgers New Brunswick and is located entirely within Piscataway Township, New Jersey. The campus is named after Charles L. Busch (1902-1971), an eccentric millionaire, who unexpectedly donated $10 million to the University for biological research at his death in 1971. The campus was formerly known as University Heights Campus and the land was donated to the University by the state in the 1930s. The land was formerly a country club and the original golf course still exists on the campus.
The campus is home to the Rutgers Stadium and provides a high-tech and suburban atmosphere focusing on academic areas primarily related to the natural sciences; Physics, Engineering, Mathematics Statistics, Pharmacy, Chemistry, Geology, Biology and Psychology. The Rutgers Medical School was also built on this campus in 1970 but a year later was separated by the State to create the College of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (now UMDNJ). The two universities continue to share the land and facilities on the campus in a slightly irregular arrangement.
(4)Livingston
Livingston Campus is heavily focused on first-year students. It is home to many of the social science departments, the Rutgers Business School, and the Center for Applied and Professional Psychology. Livingston Campus provides students easy access to basketball games at the Louis Brown Athletic Center (known as the RAC ), vast open fields and dramatic productions at the student-founded Livingston Theater. The campus is situated in Piscataway Township although it extends into parts of Edison Township and Highland Park. On the positive side, Livingston is quieter than the other campuses, perhaps due to its distance away from Cook/Douglass and College Avenue.
2、Residence life
(1)Residence halls
The residence halls (commonly known as dorms ) provide many facilities for students wishing to live on-campus. Despite some over-crowding, students wishing to live on-campus are usually accommodated. Residences range from single-occupancy rooms (limited), double-occupancy, triple-occupancy apartments that house 4 students and suites that house 6 students. The rooms are single-sex, however the floor is co-ed. Alcohol possession and consumption is permitted for those of legal age. The rooms usually contain: A bed, desk, chair, dresser, and closet for each student. Window coverings (drapes or blinds), smoke detector, basic phone service and cable/internet access are also provided.
In addition, most residence halls have these facilities in the building: laundry, lounges with TVs, pool and ping-pong tables, a study area, kitchen or kitchenette and vending machines.
(2)Dining halls
The dining services are listed as the third largest student dining operation in the USA. There are four student dining facilities serving over 3,000,000 meals; the dining halls also provide catering for over 5000 University events yearly.

3、Traditions
The Grease Trucks are a group of food truck vendors located on College Avenue that are known for serving Fat Sandwiches , a sub roll containing an ensemble of ingredients such as steak, cheese, chicken fingers, French fries, mozzarella sticks, jalape?o poppers and more. If someone is able to eat five of these sandwiches in 10 minutes, that person can have a sandwich named after him/her and create it however they wish.
The Dance Marathon is a student-run organization that consists of a year-long series of fundraisers and culminates with the annual Marathon on April 5-6 in the College Avenue Gym. At the Marathon over 400 dancers pledge to raise funds and remain standing for 32 hours without sleeping. The Dancers , along with over 500 volunteers and countless visitors, are entertained by live bands, comedians, prize giveaways, games, sports, a mechanical bull, computer and internet access, various theme hours and much more. Rutgers has held this tradition since 1999 and to date has raised in excess of $1.3 million for the Embrace Kids Foundation.
RutgersFest is a day-long cultural event which takes place outdoors on Livingston Campus near the Louis Brown Athletic Center. It is designed to promote college spirit through student organization participation with activities and entertainment throughout the day, culminating with a free concert and fireworks at night. In years past, musical guests have included: Kanye West, Everclear, Sugar Ray, Guster, Goldfinger, Ludacris, Reel Big Fish, Method Man and Redman, Fuel, Third Eye Blind and more. Some carnival attractions at recent RutgersFests have been the bungee bull, bouncy boxing, moon walk, electronic basketball, a recording studio and tons more to keep the students entertained. It is mainly a chance for students to experience one last major social event with the Rutgers community in an fort to celebrate the end of the academic year and relax bore finals.
4、Athletics
In 1864, rowing became the first organized sport at Rutgers. Six mile races were held on the Raritan River among six-oared boats. In 1870, Rutgers held its first intercollegiate competition against the Lawrence Scientific School of Harvard. Since the start in 1864, Rutgers has built a strong crew program consisting of heavyweight and lightweight men. A women s crew team was added to the program in 1974.
Rutgers University is often rerred to as The Birthplace of College Football as the first intercollegiate football game was held on College Field between Rutgers and Princeton on 6 November 1869 on a plot of ground where the present-day College Avenue Gymnasium now stands. Rutgers won the game, with a score of 6 runs to Princeton s 4.
Despite being the Birthplace of College Football and sharing the 1869 national championship with Princeton University in the first year of intercollegiate play, Rutgers has not had an overly successful heritage in the sport through the years.
