Glassboro is a borough in Gloucester County in southern New Jersey with a population of roughly 20,000, a figure significantly inflated by Rowan University students.

Located about 20 miles south of Philadelphia via Route 55 or the Atlantic City Expressway, Glassboro offers residents access to the Philadelphia metro area while maintaining the character of a smaller college town.
