South Jersey is a vibrant area with an eclectic mix of small, walkable towns, beaches, and natural landscapes. You can take your family out for a pleasant kayak ride on the Cooper River, grab a drink at one of our many local breweries or wineries, catch a live show at the Freedom Mortgage Pavilion, visit one of the area’s many historic museums, and much, much more.
South Jersey has the benefit of not only having its own travel destinations, such as Cape May, Ocean City, and Atlantic City, but it also sits conveniently between Philadelphia and New York City, making the area only a short ride away from some of the biggest cities in the Northeast.
Note: Please be aware that we do not provide student housing for those in our Undergraduate Medical Education programs currently.
