New York City Student Life

Programming

Students will be encouraged [and expected] to experience the city beyond internship and classroom responsibilities.  Occasional organized activities such as neighborhood bike tours and group excursions will be arranged by program staff.  New York City is filled with free events throughout the summer season in all five boroughs.

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.
