 Many New York schools are top academic institutions – from Ivy League private universities to Princeton Review-ranked public colleges. Campuses stretch all over 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. In fact, many New York schools claim the city becomes an extension of a student's education.
Union Square is best known for a number of hip restaurants, a must for a budding chef (or those just looking to score a good meal).
Mid-town Manhattan houses Madison Square Garden, the Garment District, Rockefeller Center, the Theater District, and Times Square. Known to native New Yorkers as tourism central, this is the city's biggest hotel neighborhood – perfect for those wishing to pursue a career in hotel or restaurant management.
If media is your specialty, then Times Square is your locale. It's the home to many big-name magazines, MTV studios, and Good Morning America, which has its own street-facing studio.
The Garment District runs along Seventh Avenue, and this is where great fashions are sold cheap – and where the next Marc Jacobs or Donna Karan may be stitching away in one of the districts' many classrooms.
High fashion may not be your thing, but everyone can appreciate a work of high art. Those wishing to pursue the arts can head to Museum Mile, on Fifth Avenue near Central Park. There you'll find the Guggenheim and Metropolitan Museum of Art, and maybe inspiration for your own masterpiece.
You can't go to New York and not marvel at the buildings. Future architects will marvel at the Chrysler Building, Grand Central Terminal, St. Patrick's Cathedral, and the Empire State Building.
In addition, New York schools house some of the best university-backed research centers in the world in the areas of medicine, science, arts and humanities.
