Students are only an hour away from Manhattan taking the F train, conveniently located a few blocks away from campus. Many students hang out at Traditions, a local bar, specifically on Wednesday and Friday nights.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or life:
“It is not easy to imagine how little interested a scientist usually is in the work of any other, with the possible exception of the teacher who backs him or the student who honors him.”
—Jean Rostand (1894–1977)
“The new concept of the child as equal and the new integration of children into adult life has helped bring about a gradual but certain erosion of these boundaries that once separated the world of children from the word of adults, boundaries that allowed adults to treat children differently than they treated other adults because they understood that children are different.”
—Marie Winn (20th century)
