On October 11th, kayakers and canoers floated down the Raritan River, a rare sight, indeed. They were there to mark the beginning of the Sustainable Raritan River Initiative, now underway at Rutgers. Faculty and students will be working to clean up and protect the river from environmental destruction. This means a better quality of life, and more recreational opportunities, for residents who live near the Raritan River.

The Raritan cleanup highlights the benefits of living near Rutgers University, a major institute of higher learning. Rutgers consistently ranks in the top tier of public universities. And with Rutgers’ generous grants to in-state residents, living in the heart of New Jersey puts you just steps away from quality higher education for you or your children.
