我们的家:波茨坦

波茨坦村, 在拉奎特河岸边, is what you think of when you picture a college town. Tree-lined streets are home to red sandstone buildings and filled with locally owned shops and restaurants. Downtown is within walking distance of our campus, as is SUNY Potsdam and its Crane School of Music, with its extraordinary performances and concerts almost every night.

阿迪朗达克山脉

永远的荒野:阿迪朗达克山脉

The six-million-acre Adirondack Park is more than huge. It's a natural playground with countless opportunities to hike big mountains, 探索数千个湖泊, rivers and streams or try your hand fly fishing on the Ausable River, one of the world's finest bass-fishing destinations.

或者,去圣. 劳伦斯河, 距离校园不到30分钟, where you can fish the same waters as the Bassmaster Elite, dive for shipwrecks or spend a weekend exploring a castle.

纽约普莱西德湖市中心

普莱西德湖

The Olympic Village of 普莱西德湖 is the only place in the U.S. to host the Winter Olympics twice — once in 1932 and again in 1980. 今天, you can not only visit many of those venues but try them out yourself: ski at Whiteface Mountain, which has the greatest vertical drop in the East. 在速滑场地上跑几圈. 你甚至可以坐雪橇兜一圈. And, then tell the tales over an Insta-worthy meal at a resort restaurant.
