New Jersey Hall, College Avenue Campus

Essential Reading

Five campuses = Five self-contained conference sites.

When choosing a location for your conference, consider that Rutgers is made up of five campuses -- within a 10 mile radius of each other -- linked by a free, campus bus system. Each campus is a self-contained conference site with its own housing accommodations, dining hall and meeting space.

The busy College Avenue Campus in New Brunswick is where it all began and is the historic heart of Rutgers. The campus is close to downtown restaurants, the New Brunswick Cultural Center and direct train service to New York City and Philadelphia.

The picturesque Douglass Campus in New Brunswick is also the site of Rutgers' Mason Gross School of the Arts, Performing Arts Complex. The tree-lined campus has a private, secluded feeling during warm, hazy summer days, and is alive with cultural activities at night.

Also located in New Brunswick, the Cook Campus, with its farm animals and its long, sloping view of Passion Puddle, possesses a rural atmosphere. The Cook Campus Student Center was designed to take advantage of views of the surrounding woods.

The Busch Campus located in suburban Piscataway, NJ is the site of Rutgers' modern science and high-technology buildings as well as many of the athletic facilities. The University Golf Course, the Sonny Werblin Recreation Center and the new Football Stadium are all located here.

The Livingston Campus, also located in Piscataway, is the site of the university's youngest liberal arts college, Livingston College. It is also the location of the Louis Brown Athletic Center, home of basketball's Scarlet Knights. Like Busch, Livingston has an open, airy feel, with a view of the Watchung Mountains in the distance.

Accessible by plane, train, and bus

All routes, it seems, lead to Rutgers. The university is only forty-five minutes from Newark International Airport; New Jersey Transit trains stop in downtown New Brunswick while serving New York, Newark, Trenton, Atlantic City and Princeton; bus service runs frequently from New Brunswick to New York and Atlantic City.
