New York City
St. John's University
Spend an unforgettable summer in New York City, rightly hailed as one of the greatest cities in the world. The rich history of each neighborhood comes alive while strolling along the busy streets, from the artsy cafes in Greenwich Village to the trendy galleries in Chelsea to the neon lights of Times Square. Exploring iconic locations like the Statue of Liberty and Central Park offer just as much excitement as venturing off the beaten path to uncover hidden gems of your own. New York City's cultural diversity shines through its incredible food, art, and music, with every borough offering something unique to explore.
