Be in the middle of everything
America is a big place, but there’s no better place than Rutgers to experience college life in the States. Our three regional campuses are located between New York City and Philadelphia, with Boston and Washington, D.C., only a half-day train ride away. That puts you right in the middle of the rich cultural and economic resources of the East Coast. And with four international airports nearby, getting here is easy—wherever you’re coming from.
Campus Life. Once you’re here, you’ll find lots to see and do. Explore the Rutgers campus, the state of New Jersey, or our big-city neighbors, New York and Philadelphia. There's so much to do:
