New Brunswick is a city in Middlesex County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, and a regional commercial hub for Central New Jersey. It is both a college town, home to the main campus of Rutgers University, the state's largest university, and a commuter town for people working in New York City. The New Brunswick station is a major stop on NJ Transit's Northeast Corridor line, 33 miles southwest of New York Penn Station, and the city stands on the southern banks of the Raritan River in the Raritan Valley. Because of its concentration of hospitals and medical schools it is called both the Hub City and the Healthcare City, and several global pharmaceutical companies have headquarters or production facilities there. The city is also noted for its ethnic diversity, with a large historic Hungarian community and growing Asian and Hispanic communities.
