Drew University

This setup suits introspective learners interested in humanities, sciences, or faith-related inquiry, but students seeking vast major options or high-energy urban buzz might feel constrained by the modest enrollment of under 2,000 undergraduates. Madison offers tree-lined streets, boutique shops, and easy train access to NYC, yet the suburban quiet and elevated cost of living demand adjustment if you're used to bigger-city immediacy. Tradeoffs include limited on-campus amenities compared to larger peers and chilly New Jersey winters that keep most activities indoors.
