New York Colleges and Universities


From urban chic to mountain peaks, you'll likely find your ideal college town in New York, where you'll find more than The Big Apple. From the rolling hills and stunning beauty of the Finger Lakes region, to Niagara Falls, the vistas of the Adirondack Mountains, and the Hudson River Valley, the state of New York matches urban excitement with small-town charm and outdoor activities. For those who crave museums, concerts, exquisite dining, and a nightlife that rages until dawn, New York City has no equal. The Big Apple is the largest city in the state, with the capital in Albany, and the large cities of Rochester and Buffalo to the north.
