College Life in New York City

New York City has some of the most highly regarded colleges and universities in the country—like New York University and Columbia University. The first-rate education mixed with all there is to do in the city makes college life in New York some of the best four years of your life. Of course there are the must-see tourist attractions like The Statue of Liberty, Times Square, and Empire State Building, but there are plenty of other underrated activities that make being an NYC college student well worth it.

 

Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Metropolitan Museum of Art, known locally as "The Met", is the largest art museum in the United States. One of the great things about this museum is that it's budget-friendly. Visitors have the option of "paying what they wish" for entry. With about 2 million works, you can easily spend an entire day meandering the halls with friends. End the day with dinner at the 'secret' dining room inside of The Met!

 

Coffee shop heaven

If you're a huge caffeine addict or simply love studying in cool coffee shops, then college life in NYC is the perfect fit for you! Studying at Starbucks gets old fast; thankfully New York City has a variety of smaller coffee shops scattered around the city. Stumptown Coffee Roasters has tables with USB ports, so you never have to worry about your computer or phone dying on you mid-study session. Bibble & Sip is a coffee shop located near Time Square. Bibble & Sip is unique in that all of their pastries have some asian flair.

 

Brooklyn Flea Market

The Brooklyn Flea market is a must-see for penny pinching college students. With varying locations and times in Williamsburg, Dumo, Hester, and Chelsea, you don't have to worry about accidentally sleeping through this flea market. There's food, unique vendors, and great views.
