About Middlesex County
Middlesex County is the crossroads of Central Jersey, home to Rutgers University's main campus in New Brunswick and Piscataway and to large suburban townships like Edison, Woodbridge, Old Bridge and East Brunswick. Youth programs are big and competitive, and the Turnpike and Parkway make most of the county reachable in half an hour. Rutgers alumni and current students are a common source of private coaches here.
