A unique private college experience just minutes from Manhattan

Private Suburban FDU Walkable River Scenic Parks Knights

Operating four campuses in New Jersey, Canada, and the UK, Farleigh Dickinson University offers a unique experience among American private education. The Metropolitan Campus in Teaneck serves a high population of graduate students and incorporates co-op experience into much of the curriculum, with a heavy emphasis on business and professional studies. The campus straddles the Hackensack River, with multiple parks and the Teaneck Greenway offering beautiful scenic views. The Knights sports teams compete in the NCAA Division I, and basketball games at the Rothman Center are popular events for the campus crowd as well as the broader community.

FDU’s Metropolitan Campus sits in the suburbs just north of Hackensack, mostly surrounded by residential neighborhoods. The Shops at Riverside mall borders the campus to the north, and serves as a popular hangout; Cedar Lane to the south and Queen Anne Road between Windsor and Vortee Parks offer cozier commercial districts, with local restaurants, shops, bars, and entertainment venues easily within walking distance of campus. New York City is always close at hand, with the George Washington Bridge providing a direct line into Manhattan.
