Founded in 1766 as Queen’s College, Rutgers is one of the oldest universities in the United States — and New Brunswick has been its home since 1771. Whether you are touring as a future student, moving someone into a dorm or coming for a big game, here is how to make the visit easy.
Know the campuses
Rutgers–New Brunswick is spread across several campuses — College Avenue, Busch, Livingston, and Cook/Douglass — on both sides of the Raritan River in New Brunswick and Piscataway. Knowing which campus you need saves a lot of time.
Busy days to plan ahead for
- Move-in and move-out days — campus roads and lots fill up fast
- Football Saturdays at SHI Stadium on the Busch campus in Piscataway
- Basketball at Jersey Mike’s Arena on the Livingston campus
- Commencement in May, when families arrive from everywhere
Airport rides for students and parents
Heading home for break or flying in for a visit? We drive students and families between Rutgers and Newark (EWR), JFK, LaGuardia and Philadelphia airports. Book ahead for Thanksgiving, winter and spring breaks — they are the busiest travel weeks of the year.
Why a car service?
- Door-to-dorm pickup with room for suitcases
- No hunting for visitor parking
- SUVs and vans for families and move-in loads
- Easy round trips to the airport or train station
