Saratoga Springs is an incredible place to
spend four years.
A ten-minute walk from Skidmore puts you
in the heart of a downtown brimming with galleries, shops (funky and
major retail), coffeehouses, and great restaurants. Legendary folk club
Caffè Lena, where Bob Dylan, Arlo Guthrie, and Ani DiFranco performed,
is a local favorite. So is Esperanto, co-founded by a Skidmore professor.
Location? Boston, NewYork City, and Montreal are approximately a three-
hour drive from campus. And the nearby Adirondacks, Berkshires, and
Green Mountains provide amazing recreational opportunities.
There’s history too: famed mineral waters, a Revolutionary War battle-
field, and the nation’s oldest and most beautiful thoroughbred racetrack.
Culture? The Saratoga Performing Arts Center is summer home to the
New York City Ballet, Philadelphia Orchestra, and a performing venue
for top musicians such as Willie Nelson, Yo-Yo Ma, and Dave Matthews.
