FAQ & FYI
Q: What airport should I fly into?
A: We will pick you up at arrivals from LaGuardia (LGA) or John F Kennedy (JFK). Newark International airport is an option as well. Though Newark isn't far in distance, it's in another state. That said, you would have to take the air bus from Newark to Penn Station (in Midtown Manhattan) and make your way from there to the campus.
​
Q: How do we get from the airport to campus?
A: We will provide airport pick up for student arrival and do our very best to accommodate drop off for departures from JFK and LGA.

A: Yes. The NYSUM building remains locked 24/7 and students are given a fob key to get in. It's located in a safe residential area of the city.

Q: What is public transportation like?
A: There are major subway stations a couple blocks from Campus that can have you in Times Square within 15 minutes.
