The Hub City
New Brunswick has it all, from vibrant neighborhoods to that classic, tree-lined campus vibe. But the best part is that your experience here reaches beyond the classroom and into the real world, as you’re just a short train ride from NYC and Philly. The area is known for its career opportunity and is packed with diverse culture. So, when you’re not hitting the books, you can dive into a world of amazing food, catch a play or live concert, explore beautiful gardens, or have a laugh at a comedy club. After all, fun is part of the college experience, too.
New Jersey is brimming with opportunities right in Rutgers’ backyard. A short drive north, Bergen County offers the highest employment rates in the state, while Central Jersey is home to major, thriving pharma and biotech companies such as Bristol Myers Squibb, Novo Nordisk, and Johnson & Johnson.
Major Cities at Your Feet
New York City
Take a one-hour (or less!) bus ride right from town, catch a 40-minute train ride from New Brunswick Station, or jump in the car with some friends. Whichever route you choose, it’s easy to access the endless opportunity, entertainment, and incomparable energy of "The City That Never Sleeps."
Philadelphia
Get to "The City of Brotherly Love" in less than an hour by train from New Brunswick Station, or a little longer via the bus on French Street. Have a car? Hop on I-95 South and—traffic permitting—you could be there in not much more than an hour, ready to enjoy all that the birthplace of liberty has to offer.
Washington, D.C.
Your best bet to visit our nation’s seat of government is to buy a ticket for the Amtrak Northeast Regional train out of New Brunswick Station downtown, and from there it’s a direct three-hour train ride from New Brunswick to Washington Union Station. Arrive in the capital ready to change the world.
