Campus Life at NJIT

NJIT's 45-acre campus is situated in the heart of Newark, New Jersey's largest city. The university shares the city's vibrant and multicultural University Heights district with the campuses of Rutgers University - Newark, the Rutgers Center for Law and Justice, the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, Essex County College, and the developing University Heights Science Park. University Heights and the adjacent downtown section comprise the hub of Newark's ongoing economic and cultural renaissance. The campus is also only 20 minutes away from New York City, adding to the local and regional attractions.

Students will also have access to all of the facilities in the athletic center. These include the fitness area (containing computer controlled biking equipment, Cybex resistance units, and an indoor track), weight room, four racquetball courts (which can be converted for squash), a martial arts center, and an aerobics/dance studio. A six-lane swimming pool is home to NJIT’s men's and women's swimming teams, while the two varsity tennis squads host meets and hold practices at four lighted outdoor hard-court tennis courts behind the building.
