Nearly 3,000 undergraduate students will live in university housing in Galloway Township and in Stockton’s two residence halls in Atlantic City this semester.

- The students come from 14 different states as far north as Vermont and New Hampshire, as far west as Texas and as far south as Florida.
- The first-year class also includes students from six different countries.
- In the first-year class, 136 of the students are recruited athletes, including women’s volleyball players from New Hampshire and Virginia.
