Activities

Immediately surrounding the campus, students' non-academic needs are met in a variety of ways. Free noon-time music recitals, featuring fine soloists and groups, are held on Fridays on the adjacent Rockefeller University campus. Students also participate in jogging, aerobics, weightlifting, basketball, and squash. Numerous international restaurants and first-run cinemas provide nourishment and entertainment for every taste. For food shopping, there are several supermarkets, and a small grocery or take-out deli is on nearly every street corner. Those inclined to roam a short distance beyond the New York City boundaries can participate in student-organized hiking or skiing trips to the mountains north of the city. Also within easy reach, Long Island is surrounded by beautiful beaches facing the Atlantic Ocean.
