Drew University is located in Madison, New Jersey and enjoys a reputation as one of the safest campuses in the country. Our director of public safety, formerly a high-ranking state police officer, has worked to develop a good rapport and understanding between the officers of the department of public safety and our students. Full-time, academy trained public safety officers patrol the campus 24 hours a day utilizing marked patrol cars, bicycle and on foot patrols. On-campus housing is guaranteed for four years, and over 90 percent of undergraduates live on campus. Students may choose from single-sex or coed floors.
All bathrooms are single-sex.
In addition, foreign language and special interest theme houses are available to juniors and seniors. As a first-year student, however, you may obtain a single room only for a compelling medical reason. Only juniors and seniors can keep cars on campus. Our undergraduates come from 39 states and 10 foreign countries, and while about half of them are from New Jersey, few return home for the weekends, almost none with any regularity. Most students remain on campus during weekends and enjoy a variety of athletic, cultural, and social events sponsored by the University Program Board, by campus clubs and organizations, and by a very active performing arts program.
