In addition to being an integral part of the university, the school is a vital part of the New Brunswick community. Designated one of the state`s most significant areas for education and health care, the city is home to Rutgers` largest regional campus (including its historic Old Queen`s campus) and to the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, Saint Peter`s University Hospital, and the Cancer Institute of New Jersey.

Its award-winning building, shared with Rutgers` Mason Gross School of the Arts, is situated at Civic Square in New Brunswick, where it occupies an essential place in central New Jersey`s educational and cultural hub. The locale includes a thriving cultural area-the State Theatre, George Street Playhouse, and Crossroads Theatre Company are steps away, and a wide variety of restaurants provide menus for every taste.

Civic Square is a five-minute walk to the city`s train station, which has connections to Amtrak as well as local stops between New York and Philadelphia, both a 45-minute train ride away, while Washington, D.C., and Boston are accessible in just a few hours. The Bloustein School is also within minutes of three of the state`s major highways.
