Situated in New Jersey, a crossroads of American enterprise, commerce, and culture, Rutgers has a vibrancy that derives from its location and a history entwined with that of the nation. Chartered in 1766, the university is the only one in the United States that is, at once, a colonial college, a land-grant institution, and a state university.
140 valedictorians and salutatorians chose to enroll at Rutgers last year. They came from towns throughout New Jersey and from Alabama, Florida, Maine, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and the state of Washington.
