The largest city in the U.S., New York City offers students a multitude of ways to explore everything it has to offer, from attractions and museums to Broadway shows and much more. Whether you're interested in workshops, private tours or performance opportunities, learn four reasons why NYC is one of ETI's most popular student destinations.
- PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES ABOUND
Whether it’s the stunning settings of the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine or St. Paul Apostle Church, the unforgettable views found at the Empire State Building and Statue of Liberty, or the high glass ceilings of the Madison Avenue Atrium, students have endless performance opportunities in NYC. A favorite among students are the hangar and flight deck spaces at the Intrepid Museum, home to the storied WWII aircraft carrier Intrepid and other technological wonders. Students could also enjoy some performance magic from the audience by sitting in on an iconic show at Radio City Music Hall, on Broadway, or a New York Philharmonic performance and open rehearsal session.
- THERE ARE MOMENTS FOR REFLECTION AND EXPANDING WORLD VIEWS
New York City is home to not only a massively diverse and vibrant population but it’s also a place where so much history has happened over the years. Students can visit the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, the country’s principal institution concerned with exploring 9/11, documenting its impact, and examining its continuing significance. Institutions like the Tenement Museum are also top itinerary stops; it’s here that students are welcomed into the homes of immigrant, migrant, and refugee families to feel connections between the past and present … an experience that truly promotes an inclusive and expansive American society.
- MANY CHANCES TO GROW YOUR SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE
Workshops and private tours take a typical New York City itinerary and elevate it to something students will remember long after the trip concludes. Consider clinics with performance experts; workshops from companies like Broadway Inbound focusing on acting, choreography, preparing for auditions and more; and behind-the-scenes tours of historic institutions like the Lincoln Center led by knowledgeable docents.
- THE POSSIBILITIES FOR FUN ARE ENDLESS
Of course, students love New York City because it’s FUN! See the city (and the iconic Statue of Liberty) from a new perspective with a dinner cruise; snap the perfect skyline photo from one of the city’s top observatories (like SUMMIT One Vanderbilt or Top of the Rock); cheer on your favorite knight with a meal at Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament; soak up the natural beauty of Central Park; peruse the iconic sidewalks of Times Square; and more.
