A Scarlet Night Far from the Banks

The Far from Homecoming event in London drew almost 100 Rutgers University alumni and fans together to watch the Scarlet Knights football game. 

Spirits were high at the Rutgers University Far from Homecoming event held in London on Saturday.

Rutgers alumni bedecked in scarlet gathered at Passyunk Avenue, a Philadelphia-themed bar near the Waterloo station. Festivities included a pie bake off, games, “American dive bar” food and drink, and candy not normally found in the United Kingdom, including the New Jersey classic saltwater taffy.

This was the second annual edition of Far from Homecoming held in London. Attendees included alumni Ugo Arinzeh RC'92, RBS'92, and Rory McGregor RC'90, both of whom were featured in WE ARE YOU videos earlier this year.
