Garden apartments, which house 700 students, are available to continuing students. Each unit is equipped with two bedrooms, a living room, dining area and kitchenette. Because of the kitchen areas, students may purchase and prepare their own food. However, the meal plan is also available to those who wish to participate. These supplies can be purchased in local stores.
Housing is awarded at the time of admission.
Students are advised against living off campus. Each year the Vice President of Enrollment Management offers academic scholarships to freshmen students. The students have traveled to Canada, Washington, D.C., and Jamaica, West Indies. Each year they host International Student Week which consists of workshops and symposia. A campus- wide luncheon, The International Food Festival, features international cuisine and entertainment and has become one of the most popular events held at Ramapo.
