Ranking the Dorms at Rutgers University-New Brunswick

Pros: Close to dining hall, Biel Rd, and Henderson(to college ave)
Cons: No AC, Far from lipman hall(Rexb/rexl) - 2 years ago

No elevator which sucks, but you get used to living on the fourth floor. The last set of stairs is definitely the hardest. Rooms have carpet which is nice. They are also air conditioned. I thought the desk was big and had plenty of room to spread out. Closet was reasonably sized and there was space above it. There aren’t any doors on the closet so you might want curtains. Walls are cinder block. Raised beds so you store stuff underneath. Space between beds is about 5ish feet. - 4 years ago

Room was carpeted which I didn't like. It did have air conditioning tho which was better than other freshman dorms. - 2 years ago

The location of the towers is honestly the best selling point. It’s really helpful in the winter when it’s really cold and you don’t have to be out for long. The heating is also really good and bathrooms are kept clean every morning. Not many issues with the building other than the size and the overall look of the building. Would recommend to any freshman living on livi. - 2 years ago

Best dorm on Rutgers, hands down. It's in the middle of campus and the amenities are great. - 4 years ago

Gibbons is the most underrated residence hall, considering the massive rooms (if you happen to be on the higher floors), small but connected community, great scenery and nature all around, great lounge with an awesome cabin vibe, and best of all: a bus stop right at the residence hall. The location is great as it is very near to the dining hall, douglass student center, douglass library, and the college hall bus stop (for rexl/rexb). - 10 months ago

Located on Cook-Douglass, this room is one of the nicer ones in the freshman residence halls. It has AC and heating, a large window, and tall ceilings. There’s enough space between the beds, which have adjustable heights. However, there’s no elevator, so if you’re on the fourth floor, you’ll have to climb three flights of stairs to get to your room. Also, Perry is quite far from the bus stops and the dining hall, so you’ll have to walk a bit to get there. Also, the communal bathrooms are cleaned every day, furniture is provided, and there is a study lounge on each floor. - 3 months ago

Great living space, but not very social. Great place for introverts to meet other introverts. - 4 years ago

Living in this dorm literally changed my life. From the moment I walked kn and saw the river view from my room(east wing only) I knew nothing was ever gonna be the same. The rooms are huge,the bathrooms are shared yes but there are so many and so huge u basically feel like u have ur own bathroom. Every wing has a lounge and it's perfect for making friends,in fact all my best friends from college are from my floor lounge. Downstairs there are also seminar rooms where you can study. Like 90% of the best memories I had in college were in this building. Living with your friends in this 5 star accomodation,its truly an experience. - 4 years ago

One of the best Freshman dorms in my opinion. Private Bathrooms, very large. Huge study lounge plus lounges on each floor with working kitchen - 2 years ago
