Plus NJIT is located in the vibrant University Heights district of downtown Newark and just 20 minutes from Manhattan by train.

Living on campus will connect you to new and diverse friends. The friendships you form and the memories you make during your time in housing will stay with you forever. These friends will become your family away from family!

#4 Worry-Free Living
