Rutgers University–New Brunswick, Public university campus in New Brunswick, United States.
Rutgers University–New Brunswick is a public university campus that stretches across several connected sites in New Brunswick and Piscataway, New Jersey. The grounds contain lecture halls, dormitories, libraries, athletic facilities, and research buildings linked by roadways and green spaces.
The institution began in 1766 as Queen's College, a small school with religious ties. After American independence, it was renamed in 1825 and grew during the 20th century into a state research university with a national presence.
The name comes from Colonel Henry Rutgers, a philanthropist who gave support in the early years of the institution. Students and locals often refer to each campus by its geographic position or by buildings that now serve as gathering points for lectures and community events.
Visitors can reach the different sites using public transit and move between areas with regular shuttle services provided on site. Parking is limited, so walking between nearby buildings or using the buses is often the easiest option.
The oldest part of the campus retains buildings from the 18th century that are still in use for administration and teaching. The site also holds one of the largest collections of rare books in the region, accessible during select exhibitions.
