Campus Tours
When you come for a tour, be sure to check out our new home at 70 College Avenue. If you’d like to learn more about Jewish life on campus, we would love to meet with you. To ensure we are available when you visit Rutgers, please schedule an appointment with one of our staff members by contacting info@rutgershillel.org.
Rutgers Hillel is located in New Brunswick, on the College Avenue Campus. The best way to get to know Rutgers is to tour our campuses live and in person. Individuals can register with our Offices of Admissions to join a scheduled tour.
If you are coming with a large group, you can arrange for a special group tour. Many admissions tours are led by Rutgers Scarlet Ambassadors, current students who really know Rutgers.
