The Location
Seton Hall University is based in South Orange, NJ—under 20 miles from Manhattan.

As for South Orange itself, it’s got a ton of local character. Architecture ranges from historic to modern, from cottages to mansions. The streets are lined with gaslights unlike anything you’d find in most towns. There are an array of artistic and cultural venues, not to mention a park system.
