Location

When you're at Drew, you're at the center of everything. Our hometown of Madison is in the rolling-green hills of northern New Jersey's Morris County. That puts you 15 miles from New York City and right in the middle of the powerhouse Boston-to-Washington corridor. But wait, there's more!

The Jersey Shore is as close as the Pocono Mountains. Newark Liberty International Airport is only a half-hour away. And more than 50 Fortune 500 companies call Morris County—one of the 10 wealthiest counties in the nation—home.

So take advantage of it! New York beckons with a morning in Central Park, an afternoon on Museum Mile or a night in Greenwich Village. Weekend day trips could take you to the beach or the ski slopes in 90 minutes. And a free Friday night might mean catching a movie in downtown Madison, cheering your favorite pro team at the Meadowlands Sports Complex or attending a live taping of a late-night comedy show in New York.

"Drew is located in a region rich with history, culture, science, business and endless opportunity. You can see a Broadway play, intern at a major pharmaceutical corporation, conduct research in wetlands habitats or get involved in the civic life of great urban centers like Newark and New York."

Drew's unbeatable location means tons of fun now—and lots of advantages later. Imagine these on your résumé: an internship on Wall Street, a semester at the United Nations, an apprenticeship on Theatre Row or a summer R&D job at an area pharmaceutical company. The world's most talented, powerful and influential people flock to the New York–New Jersey metropolitan region—and you can too. Start here—there's no telling where you'll go.
