Rutgers  is the  large public university located in New Brunswick, NJ  and the flagship campus of   the   state of New Jersey.  Just as the University of  Marylands is he unofficial public school for the  Washington DC  region, Rutgers is the primary public school in thr grester New York area.
Rutgers is the 8th oldest university n the USA founded in 1766 and  became the official State University of New Jersey . The flagship campus of New Jersey's state university, based in New Brunswick, is actually split into five mini-campuses known as Douglass, Cook, College Avenue, Busch and Livingston. Each campus has a unique setting and identity, from the hip student feel of the College Avenue campus to the farmland and science buildings at Cook Campus. Each mini-campus has its own student center and dining options. Prior to 1982, separate liberal arts faculties existed in the several separate "residential colleges" (Rutgers, Douglass, Livingston, University, and Cook colleges) at Rutgers–New Brunswick. In 1982, these five institutions were centralized into one college, the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, This collegiate structure  gives Rutgers a unique collegiate feel for a large university Because of its location in  .the New York City region,  Rutgers students have access to  a variety of internships and  job options.
