Professional Golf Turf Management School






Two Year Certificate Program - Housing

In an effort to assist you in securing housing in the New Brunswick area during your ten-week stay for the Rutgers Professional Golf Turf Management School, we have contacted local hotels to arrange discount rates. We also have arranged rental opportunities with selected home-owners in the New Brunswick area. The best deals are arranged very quickly, so do not delay securing housing.

Housing is not included in your tuition. It is your responsibility to secure your own housing. Enclosed is a list of some hotels/motels in the area. Please contact them directly to make your reservations. If you are looking for shared housing, mention to the hotels reservation desk and/or landlord that you are in the Rutgers Professional Golf Turf Management School program and interested in roommates. You may choose to check online in local areas. Another place to check with is a company that handles temporary housing, www.corporatelodgings.com. You may register online and Cecilia will let you know if there is something in the area.

Should you have any questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to call me at (732) 932-9271 ext. 637 or via e-mail at koppell@rci.rutgers.edu
