Virtual First-Year Experience (VFYE)

At Rutgers, the first-year experience is a revolutionary experience unlike any other. We recognize that for many, living on-campus is a fundamental part of that experience. We are committed to providing a world-class experience and making the Fall of 2020 a revolutionary one, despite the restrictions for on-campus housing due to the pandemic. We will provide innovative ways for our first-years to make friends, thrive in a world of remote learning, and get acclimated to Rutgers in a way that reaches beyond the banks of the old Raritan. Through our free, Virtual FYE program, students will be a part of a virtual "residence hall floor," assigned to a trained Resident Assistant, and supported in their transition from high school to having a full, successful academic and social life at Rutgers.
