Hudson Valley
NatureStudents are often so enthralled by Vassar's campus—its 1,000 acres of arboretum, its two lakes, its forests—that they can forget the natural beauty just beyond the College's gates. Inhabitants enjoy incredible rock climbing at the Gunks, sailing on the Hudson, hiking through the Mohonk preserve, and much, much more.
The natural beauty of the Hudson Valley offers students an unparalleled setting in which to live, work, and play.”
— Jeff Walker, Professor of Earth Science and College Sustainability Coordinator
