This distinguishing status with the U.N. gives Felician students a unique opportunity to participate in our U.N.

Location

Located in Lodi and Rutherford, New Jersey, Felician University is just 10 miles away from the famous New York City. This gives international students the opportunity to explore New York and all it has to offer, but at the same time gives students the opportunity to retreat to a more residential community for living and studying. With the best of both worlds, international students can grab a train ride to the City, or they can stay home where they are in walking distance to shops, restaurants, and a movie theatre – not to mention the on-campus facilities.
