From the deep history rooted in nearly every corner of our city to the abundance of culture found in its live music venues, world-class museums, theaters, galleries and beyond, New York City is an indescribable place to learn\u2014both inside the classroom and far beyond it.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s perhaps no better place for students to spend their college years than in a city where inspiration is quite literally everywhere you look. <\/p>\n

A walk to class can mean passing through centuries of history, a weekend can be spent exploring a new museum or neighborhood, and some of the world\u2019s biggest names in art, media, business, fashion and entertainment are never too far away.<\/p>\n
