Hudson Valley
ShoppingThe Arlington Business District—one of the most vibrant communities in Dutchess County—sits directly outside of the campus. Arlington includes specialty retail shops featuring fine jewelry, clothing, art and collectibles, gifts, books, art supplies, hardware and health foods. For larger stores, the Galleria Mall is only about 15 minutes away. There, students will find Best Buy, Target, Gap, Starbucks, and dozens of other favorites. Regular shuttles connect the College with the Mall and with the greater Poughkeepsie area.
The Arlington Business District, just steps from Vassar, is in the midst of a renaissance. Come and enjoy the many shops and boutiques when you need that special gift, stroll the newly landscaped streets, or simply find a place to relax and unwind.”
