Drew is set in picturesque Madison, New Jersey; it’s just a 47-minute train ride from the heart of Manhattan, New York. Drew places an emphasis on undergraduate research, out-of-classroom learning experiences, and one-on-one personal attention with average class sizes of just 17 students.
The forest near the city
Live in one of the top 100 safest towns in the United States while being a short train ride from the cultural, business and educational advantages of New York City.

If you want to spend a day relaxing at the beach, campus is just an hour drive from the Jersey Shore.
