New York City Colleges

There are many ways to turn a leisure trip to the Big Apple into something that can officially be called New York City educational student tours. First of all, few cities come even close to offering the wealth of educational value you’ll find in New York City. Pick a theme – any theme – and Manhattan can accommodate. Take a tour of the Apollo, Harlem, and the Hip Hop Culture Center, for instance, for a fascinating black history experience put on by H3 Tours. If art is your group’s greatest interest, this City provides hours and hours of viewing and hands-on experiences in its many museums, only three of which include The Met, The Guggenheim, and the Museum of Modern Art.

Besides the the many attractions for looking back on history, art, and culture you’ve already studied – and there’s nothing like student travel to make those subjects come alive – New York is also a great choice for looking ahead. Consider this exciting destination when you want to take in a few college campuses as you’re planning for your future.

Have you heard of the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn? This college is committed to artists and creative professionals. Their intention? To take your creative energy and efforts and help you become community leaders with that innovation. A tour here could be especially inspiring for those who hope their creativity has a future.

Columbia College is just one small part of Columbia University. And situated in the heart of Manhattan, it’s a great choice for blending the thrill of a New York City visit with the real work of choosing higher education.

And NYU offers tours of its campus by NYU students who will help you identify not just the campus buildings around Washington Square Park but throughout Manhattan as well.

And between college tours, there are so many other amazing things to do. A Fifth Avenue Walking Tour is a must, and depending on the time of year – though all of the seasons have their charm – Central Park is always a favorite with its still, quiet spaces just yards from busy Manhattan streets. A Central Park Movie Walking Tour is a fun way to make new places feel familiar as you discover sites you’ve seen in hundreds of favorite films. The best student tours to NYC also include a visit to one of the morning shows for the chance to be on television (“Hi, Mom!”). Times Square is filled with popular attractions, besides basically being one in and of itself, and Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Center is quickly becoming a favorite way to see the city from above.

You can do it all on New York City Campus tours, and whether you end up there for your college years are not, this tour will definitely stay with you for a lifetime.
