Hi, freshman at Rutgers here so I know quite a bit about this process.

1. Yes and No. BEST hall on the Busch campus are suite-style but they are designed for a specific LLC. Otherwise, getting suites as a freshman is borderline impossible.

2. I am living on Livingston this year and I love it to death. Livi has the business school on it so the majority of your classes would be there. Livingston has the Quads and the Towers. Towers have the better location, Quads have the better communal feel in my opinion. College Ave isn't bad to live on but expect partying. However, it's close to downtown if you like going off campus. Busch is pretty eh. Cook/Douglass isn't bad either.

3. I don't have any problem with the Rutgers beds. I mean they're not amazing but they do the job just fine.

4. I love living on campus this year. Living on Livingston is great for me because most of my classes are here and Livi has the best dining hall. The Quads are also very close to the gym. But each campus has their pros and cons. College Ave has the best library and overall location. Busch has the best gym. C/D has the best scenery and air conditioning in some dorms. They all have their pros and cons. You really can't go wrong no matter where you live.
