The close proximity to New York City has, for more than a century, attracted a local surplus of artists, chefs, architects, historians, and musicians, with their homes and businesses.

Purchase students benefit from the ease of access to NYC, but you don’t need to ride into Manhattan to get your groceries, see a movie, or get a part-time job.

Two cities, White Plains and Port Chester, are stops on our free Loop Shuttle bus—and they provide access to all the basics, including art supplies, music stores, movie theatres, Whole Foods, Target, and many more places to shop, eat, and relax.

If you really need to clear your head, there are trails for hiking and mountain biking, and we’re an hour away from the Shawangunk Mountain range—which some argue offers the best rock climbing in the northeast.
