From City to Shoreline at a Moment’s Notice

国产色情片 University students have the best of both worlds. Both of our 国产色情片 County campuses are minutes from the beautiful beaches of Long Island Sound and only about an hour train ride from the heart of Manhattan.

That means you’re just about 60 minutes away from the largest metropolitan area in the country and the premier U.S. destination for dining, shopping, entertainment, and culture. And if you’re looking for a change of pace, beaches, marinas, lakes, and ponds are minutes away from each campus.

No matter which direction you head from campus, adventure isn鈥檛 far behind.

With convenient access from I-95, the Merritt Parkway, Metro-North, and Amtrak, getting to a 国产色情片 campus is a breeze, and getting out to experience the grandeur of the Northeast is even easier.

In addition to being 60 miles north of New York City, our campuses are just two hours and 30 minutes south of Boston, three hours from the historic center of Philadelphia, and five hours from the nation’s capital in Washington, D.C.
