点评:If you are visiting New Brunswick, you can’t miss seeing or hearing the word ‘Rutgers’; it’s everywhere, as is the big red R on many businesses and services. The city is of course home to Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. The New Brunswick campus (and the facilities in nearby Piscataway) dominates town life, and its huge student population brings a lively and youthful atmosphere to an otherwise fairly dull town. It’s an old university, chartered in 1766 as Queen’s College, with the ‘Rutgers’ name appearing in 1825. It’s the second oldest university in the state of New Jersey, after nearby Princeton University. It’s a prestigious research university these days. The university has 4 campuses in various locations; this review relates specifically to the campus in New Brunswick.
The most historic and interesting part of the university lies in the two blocks contained by Somerset Street. College Avenue, Seminary Place, and George Street. Enter by the Old Queens Gatehouse on the corner of Somerset and George and follow the path up the hill and you will be in the heart of the campus’s historic area. You will find the Kirkpatrick Chapel, built in 1873 in the High Victorian Gothic Revival Style. Beside it is the beautiful and aesthetically pleasing Old Queens Building, the foundation stone of which was laid in 1809 by a black slave called Will. A plaque on the Hamilton Street side of the building honour this. This building was originally named the Queen’s College Building. It is the oldest building at Rutgers and the symbolic heart of the university. In this location you’ll find the Geology Hall (with a museum), Van Nest Hall, and Winants Hall which dates back to 1890. Across Hamilton Street and through a nicely manicured lawn area you will find the Zimmerli Art Museum; opposite this prestigious art gallery is the graceful New Jersey Hall. Further along are more graceful buildings such as Murray Hall, Milledoler Hall, and Van Deck Hall. These grounds also contain a number of memorials and monuments, including a statue of William The Silent, and a memorial to the Vietnam War.
But do take a walk along the main university thoroughfare, College Avenue. You’ll spot the Alexander Library, the lovely Huntington House, the spires of a number of churches, and various old houses containing fraternity and sorority houses. There’s plenty of coffee shops, cafes and restaurants along College Avenue, as well as a number of stores selling university clothing and memorabilia.
I have enjoyed a number of walks through this campus, and recommend it of you are visiting New Brunswick.

大学最具历史意义和最有趣的部分位于萨默塞特街所包含的两个街区。 College Avenue、Seminary Place 和 George Street。从萨默塞特和乔治拐角处的旧皇后门楼进入,沿着小路上山,您将到达校园历史区的中心。您会发现建于 1873 年的柯克帕特里克教堂,采用高维多利亚哥特式复兴风格。旁边是美丽而美观的老皇后大楼,其基石于 1809 年由一位名叫威尔的黑奴奠基。建筑物汉密尔顿街一侧的一块牌匾纪念这一点。这座建筑最初被命名为皇后学院大楼。它是罗格斯大学最古老的建筑,也是该大学的象征性心脏。在这个位置,您会发现地质馆(带博物馆)、Van Nest 馆和可追溯到 1890 年的 Winants 馆。穿过汉密尔顿街,穿过修剪整齐的草坪区,您会看到 Zimmerli 艺术博物馆;这座著名的艺术画廊对面是优雅的新泽西大厅。更远的地方是更优雅的建筑,如 Murray Hall、Milledoler Hall 和 Van Deck Hall。这些场地还包含许多纪念碑和纪念碑,包括沉默者威廉的雕像和越南战争纪念碑。
但一定要沿着大学的主干道 College Avenue 走一走。您会看到亚历山大图书馆、可爱的亨廷顿故居、许多教堂的尖顶,以及各种包含兄弟会和姐妹会房屋的老房子。 College Avenue 沿线有许多咖啡馆、咖啡馆和餐馆,还有许多出售大学服装和纪念品的商店。
我喜欢在这个校园里散步,并向您推荐正在访问新不伦瑞克省的人。
