Useful Tips: MINERVA-RUTGERS-GUIDE

Participants can get a parking pass for the campus.

Getting here – Come to Newark Liberty Airport. The other New York Airports, La Guardia, and Kennedy are far and very inconvenient.
You can take NJ Transit train from the airport to New Brunswick, $15, or a cab. Cabs are around $60. Uber might be a cheaper option.
