Students are encouraged to make their housing arrangements as soon as possible due to the limited amount of space available. HELP may introduce students to private off-campus apartments; however it is the students' responsibility to make their own arrangements.

Home to 8,600 residents, New Paltz peacefully sits between the historic Hudson River and the grand Shawangunk and Catskill Mountains and provides some of the most spectacular countryside scenery on the American east coast. The New Paltz community is surrounded by rich, lush farmlands of the Wallkill River Valley and scores of apple orchards and vineyards, making the region one of the leading apple-growing and winemaking areas in the United States. Recently voted as one of the "10 Quick Getaways in the United States" by Shape magazine, New Paltz offers a ideal mix of commerce and natural beauty perfect for hiking, biking, or simply casually strolling along its many classic tree-lined streets.

The SUNY at New Paltz campus is an easy 90-minute bus or train ride from the heart of New York City, famous for its Broadway musicals and theaters, many of the world's foremost art museums, shops and unique boutiques, and fantastic restaurants. |
