In theory, you could do it. Looking at Google Maps, it's an approximate 50 minute commute one way and 1 hour 40 minutes both ways (to school and back to apartment). Taking into account the expensive tolls, you'll have to pay back and forth and the huge time waste everyday when time is of the essence in dental school, I really don't think it's worth it. With how much time you spend in dental school, you really don't want to be burning ~2 hours of your day throughout the week just commuting. I would rent an apartment that is within walking distance as close to Rutgers as possible to save you time on commuting, so you get more time to study, practice in sim-lab, and even get more sleep compared to commuting long distance in heavy traffic in the city, especially during the winter when it snows a lot. This is my 2 cents and I just got accepted this year to a different school, so keep that in my mind with your decision. Best of luck and congrats on getting into Rutgers!
