The humble school that opened as Queen’s College in 1766 has grown into Rutgers University, New Jersey’s largest higher education institution. Rutgers is also the eight-oldest college in the United States and was actually chartered before the American Revolution. With history like that, it’s no wonder Rutgers University is such a draw for prospective students and New Brunswick tourists alike.

When you’re not strolling through campus admiring the architecture, you can watch football, basketball, and even D1 club hockey. Like many universities of its caliber, Rutgers fans live and die by their sports teams. But if you can’t make a game day, there’s still plenty to admire just being on campus.
