New York University

New York University not only offers all the perks of Big Apple life, but also provides dozens of reputable undergraduate, masters and PhD programs for brilliant and eclectic students from around the country. New York University also features study abroad programs in places like Madrid and Paris for blossoming linguists and cultural scholars. If the New York City setting of New York University is too much for a rurally-inclined individual, look upstate to New York colleges such as SUNY Westchester Community College where students receive solid academic, social and humanitarian skills.
