History

Drew University&rsquo;s history begins with financer Daniel Drew who purchased land in Madison, New Jersey in 1867. His aim was to establish a theological seminary to train future ministers for the Methodist ministry. Drew Theological Seminary thus remained until it was expanded to a liberal arts college in the 20th century.

A liberal arts curriculum was added in 1928 and graduate studies were included in 1955. Today, the Drew University has three schools operating under it, namely, The College of Liberal Arts,&nbsp; The Drew Theological School and The Caspersen School of Graduate Studies.

About

On-Campus Accommodation

Off-Campus Accommodation

Students enrolled in postgraduate courses can apply for on-campus residency. Still, space is minimal, so they would have to look for private accommodation if they don&rsquo;t find a spot on campus. You can hire an agent or use online housing portals to find a comfortable place conveniently from the campus.

Food Facilities (Availability of vegetarian/Indian food)

When you are at the&nbsp; Drew University campus, you might have to take a 10-20 minute drive to reach an Indian food joint. The distance might seem off-putting, but the taste of home cannot be traded. Caffe India and Mehndi are some of the nearby restaurants you can try.
