Programming
Students will be encouraged [and expected] to experience the city beyond internship and classroom responsibilities. Occasional organized activities such as neighborhood bike tours and group excursions will be arranged by program staff. New York City is filled with free events throughout the summer season in all five boroughs.

Housing
Students are responsible for all food and transportation costs. Students will be responsible for arranging their own housing. Educational Housing Services, which has student learning communities situated throughout the City, is perhaps the most economically viable and professional option. (see: http://www.studenthousing.org/) For example, EHS manages properties located throughout Manhattan and nearby Brooklyn, none of which are more than a direct, thirty-five minute subway ride away from the Program’s base at the NYHS. Students may also opt to secure their own housing or commute into New York City from nearby locales.
