SUNY - Purchase University College | 914-251-6000 | |
SUNY - Purchase College is located at 735 Anderson Hill Road, Purchase, NY 10577, just 20 miles north of Manhattan in Westchester County. Purchase College, part of the State University of New York's (SUNY) network of 64 universities and colleges, was founded in 1967 by Governor Nelson Rockefeller who envisioned a major publicly funded university system. Purchase would uniquely combine, on one campus, conservatory training in the visual and performing arts with liberal arts and sciences programs. The site selected was a 500-acre working farm, originally the property of Judge Thomas Thomas, a Revolutionary War hero. In bringing two styles of education, traditional liberal arts and science programs and conservatory based arts programs into close contact on one campus, Purchase College’s founders hoped to inspire an appreciation for both intellectual and artistic talents in all students. website and more . . . |

In central New York, beautiful bike routes are abundant along the Erie Canal Heritage Trail. Students often visit the Finger Lakes region, where you will find cozy inns, spectacular gorges and waterfalls, and Taughannock Falls State Park. Head further west toward Buffalo and visit Niagara Falls, the first state park in the nation. The Falls attract hundreds of thousands of visitors from across the globe each year. Going back east and a little north you will encounter the Adirondacks, and its soaring peaks and crystal-clear lakes, where recreational opportunities abound. Just south of the Adirondacks, young adults love to sample the sophisticated nightlife of Saratoga Springs and visit the town’s prestigious race track. About twenty minutes away, you’ll find Albany, the capital of the Empire State. While in the Capital Region, visit the New York State Museum, see a show at the stately Palace Theatre. Whichever SUNY institution you choose, you will be in New York State and its world-famous attractions. SUNY campuses are located across New York State in urban, suburban, and rural areas.
