All work and no play? Not at Drew. All the classics of college life—clubs, athletics, campus events and hanging out—are here, but with a Drew twist.
That spirit of exploration and reinvention—the one that fires your intellectual life at Drew—also inspires your student life. English majors are as likely to run cross-country as to run the student newspaper; poli-sci majors can take a role in a play as well as a role in student government. And students of every major carry their convictions into service-oriented projects with the help of Drew’s Volunteer Resource Center.
Got some free time? There’s plenty to do at Drew. Catch a play at the brand-new Dorothy Young Center for the Arts. Check out an up-and-coming comedian at The Space. Discuss Pascal’s wager over muffins and mochaccinos at The Other End. But don’t get too busy to venture beyond Drew’s gates: Go on, explore! Small-town Madison is a two-block walk, hipster-historic Morristown is a four-mile jaunt and the ultimate big-city adventure—Manhattan—is a mere 45-minute train ride. Here’s a Drew promise: This is not the middle of nowhere.

More than 90 percent of students live on campus all four years. (And housing is guaranteed for all.) Choose from residence halls, townhouses, apartment-style suites and theme houses for students sharing special interests. Undergraduates also may choose to reside on wellness floors that promote healthy living.
A new residence hall, with space for 159 students, is currently under construction. The new building will feature suite-style accommodations on the second through sixth floors and 9,000 square feet of common space on the first floor. Also, five of Drew's existing residence halls are slated for improvements in the near future. Take a look at the floor plans and construction photos.
At Drew, we recognize that student-athletes are just that—students and athletes. We make every effort to ensure that they have what they need to succeed, both in their sport and the classroom. In fact, our athletes traditionally post a better cumulative GPA than the student body as a whole. The university competes in 15 NCAA Division III sports. We offer an assortment of both intercollegiate and intramural athletics.

Service-learning comes easily at Drew: from the Drew University Crocheting and Knitting Society’s blankets for a local battered women’s shelter, to the campus Habitat for Humanity chapter’s annual trip to the Gulf Coast, to the Honduras Project’s constructive effect on the orphanages of that country.
When Drew students arrive on campus, they bring their unique interests and curiosities. With over 50 active and varied extracurricular organizations, undergraduates explore their interests with groups of their peers. Among other themes, Drew’s clubs focus on athletics, religion, politics, environmentalism, music, culture and volunteerism. Students who wish to do so are encouraged to start new organizations. Take a look at our full list of clubs.
