Town and Region

Saratoga Springs is perennially short-listed as one of the most interesting and vibrant small towns in the U.S. With a fascinating history, delightfully walkable downtown (one mile from campus), charming coffee shops and bistros, national and local retailers, scintillating night spots, a legendary folk club (Caffe Lena, where Don McLean wrote "American Pie"), four-star restaurants to neighborhood diners, and arguably the world’s most beautiful and historic thoroughbred race track, Saratoga has it all. But if that’s not sufficient, or you’d prefer a change of pace, consider rock or mountain climbing in the Adirondacks, white water rafting, canoeing, or kayaking, downhill or cross-country skiing, trekking, mountain biking, and more – all of which is within a one hour’s drive. And if you crave a big city fix, New York, Boston, and Montreal are within an easy four-hour drive. That said, you may choose to never leave campus ... and with our own North Woods (as big as Central Park), sports, equine center, and 3000 events a year, who could blame you?
