 Where do the best of the best go to school? Well, the only the greatest city in the world, of course – New York! New York colleges are some of the top academic
institutions – from Ivy League private universities to Princeton Review-ranked public colleges. Campuses stretch all across the five boroughs – and because New York is the city that never sleeps, there's always a wealth of opportunity awaiting you, both academically and culturally. Many New York colleges claim the city becomes an extension of a student's education.
To get a slice of the hippest restaurants, a must for a budding chef is Union Square. There you'll find eateries from some of the world's most famous chefs, like Bobby Flay and Michael Romano.
Known to native New Yorkers as tourism central, mid-town Manhattan houses Madison Square Garden, the Garment District, Rockefeller Center, the Theater District, and Times Square. This is the city's biggest hotel neighborhood – perfect for those wishing to pursue a career in hotel or restaurant management.
Times Square is your locale for those wishing to specialize in media. It's the home to many big-name magazines, MTV studios, and the morning show “Good Morning America,” which has its own street-facing studio.
Stitch your way to the top of high fashion at one of the many schools found in The Garment District, which runs along Seventh Avenue. You'll not only score an education, but also designer duds at discount prices!
High fashion may not be your thing, but everyone can appreciate high art. Head to Museum Mile, on Fifth Avenue near Central Park, if you think a career in art or design lies in your future. There you'll find the Guggenheim and Metropolitan Museum of Art, and maybe inspiration for your own masterpiece.
The first thing you do when you get to New York City is look up. Future architects will marvel at the Chrysler Building, Grand Central Terminal, St. Patrick's Cathedral, and the Empire State Building.
In addition, New York colleges house some of the best university-backed research centers in the world in the areas of medicine, science, arts and humanities.
