University officials tell The Jersey Journal (http://bit.ly/yjwj3B ) that the body was found around 3 p.m. Monday inside a dorm room at Palmer Hall at the Stevens Institute of Technology.
Authorities were working to identify the student. A school spokesman says there were no signs of foul play or struggle.
Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio says the death was initially classified as "suspicious" only because the student was found alone.
University officials moved students temporarily to another dorm.
