The Capital Region

A Second Campus and Beyond

The heartbeat of state politics, the home of power brokers and literary personalities, history is made in the Capital Region. With more than 60,000 college students in the area, there are always things to do and people to meet.

A wide variety of restaurants, shops, museums, and theaters are within walking distance or easily accessible by buses that stop right at our front door. Spontaneous road trips are only limited by your imagination with the Hudson Valley and New York City to the south, Boston and the mountains of Massachusetts and Vermont to the east, and the Adirondacks and Canada to the north.
