The On Campus Experience

Rowan University features nine residence halls and eight apartment communities nestled among the trees of a 200 acre campus in historic Glassboro, New Jersey. University and affiliated residences provide easy access to campus resources, recreational facilities and social opportunities.

• Develop a greater sense of belonging.• Find it easier to form friendships.• Participate more in student

organizations.• Develop stronger connections to

faculty.• Increase their awareness of diversity. • Are more likely to complete a degree in

four years.
