Student Life

On-campus housing

Over 1,400 students live on campus at NJIT in one of our four residence halls. These residence halls offer the obvious advantages of on-campus living—proximity to classrooms, dining halls, the gym, the library, your friends.

Redwood Hall houses 209 freshman and some sophomores in double (and a few triple) rooms. There are common bathrooms on each floor and a common kitchen lounge on the first floor.

Cypress Hall houses 430 students (first-year through seniors and even some graduate students) in two-room suites of double and triple rooms. Each suite shares a bathroom. There are two common lounges with kitchen facilities on each floor.

NJIT students use electronic NJIT photo ID cards for access to the residence halls. Desk attendants are on duty 24 hours a day and and monitor hall entrances. All guests must have a valid photo ID and must be signed into the residence hall by a resident host. Guests must be accompanied by their hosts at all times.

Residence Life has staff on-duty in each hall during non-business hours. In addition, NJIT’s Public Safety Office has patrols by their force of police officers and public safety officers 24 hours a day. Patrols are conducted on foot, in cars, motor scooters and bicycles. Rooftop surveillance cameras are mounted throughout campus and monitored around the clock.
