Hi guys, I'm gonna be a first year student this fall and I'll be commuting from Elizabeth. I do have a car, I can drive myself to campus, and I bought a parking permit. However, I was wondering if there were alternative options since it's a 45 minute trip each way and I'm not looking forward to that. I heard from somebody that there's a train that can take you really close to Busch campus (I think, correct me if I'm wrong), and I want to know if anyone else here goes by train. Is it worth looking into? I don't take trains often either, so I don't know if there's some sort of pass or ticket that isn't single use. If anyone could help me out, I'd really appreciate it, thanks!

I’m an NJ resident applying here and considering going here for college. I’d love to hear the pros and cons, how you like the professors, campus life, and especially the social/party scene. Is it worth it? Thanks!

Sorry this might be a stupid question, but this is my first time trying to get a parking pass, I stayed late last night to see if it was there it was not at like 1:30 am. Today I have checked since 9:00 and I have only had 3 options Livingston, Cook, Douglas, is the Busch permit pass sold out?

Edit: For those reading this, yes its sold out.

I’m 29 and just finished my associates at ccc so I’ll be starting at Rutgers Camden in September. I need to find some clubs and internship opportunities but there’s a pretty significant age gap between me and a lot of other students so I would love some tips or any advice here please!!

I’m trying to get a Busch campus parking permit for the upcoming semester, but I don’t see Busch as an available option right now.

Does anyone know if the Busch permits already sold out, or have they just not been released yet? Has anyone been able to buy one recently?

SOS. kinda? Idk. I’m stressing. All my classes are on college ave. I see people posting that it’s absolutely terrible to try to get parking unless you get there EARLY. But some days my classes are at like 1pm and later. And some days they are at 8:30 am or 10:20. So where should I get a permit for??

I see they are out anyone else getting a Network error when trying to buy it?

I’m trying to buy the College Ave parking permit. I got through all the steps and it said this at the end:

“This permit CANNOT be created since the rate has reached the usage limit. Please try with a different rate or contact the garage manager.”

Is CA already full!?!?

Hello, I'm an incoming grad student who will be commuting. Never been to Rutgers before. My classes are on college ave (Academic Building and Scott Hall). So far from my research I've seen that my best parking options are:

Livingston permit + bus - $115, extra 30 minutes to get to college ave and 30 minutes back

College ave permit - $230

My question is, are there any cheaper alternatives or is this the best I'm gonna get? Also which route would you go in my position (classes twice a week + 1 Friday a month)

I bought the Busch primary pass and the Livi secondary pass. I only got charged $20 for the secondary pass though. My parking portal shows both the Busch primary and Livi secondary pass. Did this happen to anyone else?

Hey yall so I bought my parking pass for Busch and it said that the monthly rate was $115, but I thought the price was supposed to be per semester? Another question I have is after booked my parking pass it said the payment method will be towards my term bill and I wanted to pay using my card but I couldn’t find that option is there anyway I could change the payment method to my card?

Are microwaves permitted in the dorms yall ?

Hello, I'm an incoming freshman and Ill be moving in within a week. I wanted to take my acoustic guitar with me, but im debating bring my electric guitar + amp with me. I'm wondering if there are any spaces outside of the dorms where I can actually play? I don't wanna annoy my roommate. Any advice?
