See how the students are exploring NYC below:
Housing
Students are responsible for all food and transportation costs. Students will be responsible for arranging their own housing. There are a number of organizations that cater to summer interns in New York city and you can find properties located throughout Manhattan and nearby Brooklyn, none of which are more than a direct, thirty-five minute subway ride away from the Program’s base at the NYHS. The Study Away office can provide additional information to interested students. Students may also opt to secure their own housing or commute into New York City from nearby locales.
Visits and Excursions
Throughout the New York program, students will be able to explore New York City through several different field trips introducing them to the city and culture that surrounds them. Past trips have included:
Museum of the City of New York
Students will also have the opportunity to bike between Manhattan and Brooklyn, attend a sporting event and enjoy a special farewell meal.
