Around Town

Go into the city! Go to the numerous plays/concerts on campus- we have a fantastic theatre, dance, and music program so even if you are not involved in any of these it is still a great event to attend. Sometimes it is nice just to hang out in the dorm and watch a movie with friends- it is a cozy way to end or begin the week.

A lot of people like to go to NYC for fun on the weekends. It's only a 30 minute train ride and $14 round-trip. Some students just like to hang out with their friends, and since mostly everyone lives on campus and it's such a small school, it's pretty easy to find people to hang out with.

There are always a few small parties happening. They tend to involve 10- 15 people hanging out in a dorm or apartment. Anything larger usually gets broken up, so parties tend to wander from place to place. I prefer to take the train into the city with friends, as it's more interesting!

Despite the small social scene here, with rumors of students flocking to the city for the weekend, there is a party community on the weekends, with school sponsored events sometimes being a main attraction.

Blue room!

God, this is hard. Fun?!?!?! At Sarah Lawrence?!?!?!? Though honestly there's quite a bit. There are a lot of clubs and activities. There are plenty of lectures given by off-campus professors, editors, authors, even politicians. There are open mics and plenty of on-campus theater productions. There are movie nights and there are parties. They're not your typical Greek Life parties that you might find at a state university, but there are a variety of quirkier, smaller party settings that seem to befit the majority of Sarah Lawrence students. You'll find things to do, even if it is just chilling in your room scrolling along your dashboard on tumblr or playing Slenderman over and over again until you're no longer freaked out.

There are always events going on, it's not hard to find fun things to do, alone or with friends.

Our proximity to NYC is a big selling point and we do get into New York pretty often. On campus, there is still a ton of stuff to do. There are always shows going up and bands playing. Dances happen almost every weekend and there are always at least a couple parties happening on any weekend night.

There are always campus events, such as dances, open mic nights, folk concerts, etc. New York City is a hop, skip, and a 25-minute train away, so you'll never be stranded with nothing to do.

There are a number of student theater groups that are a lot of fun and inclusive of all ability levels. There are also lots of groups that meet to discuss various social issues. Of course, it is always fun to go explore NYC for a day, or to go to a concert.
