A set of steps leads down from the campus to the Williams Visual Arts Building and into downtown, about a ten-minute walk. The picturesque historic district around the central square features specialty shops, restaurants, cafes, art galleries, craft boutiques, and a number of hairdressers specializing in African American styles. The bus terminal is served by TransBridge, Susquehanna Trailways, and Greyhound.
Students can take a bus into New York or Philadelphia every day.
They can also take a bus to airports in either city. Allentown and Bethlehem, within 20 minutes of the college, both have large Latino communities. Allentown has a Spanish weekly newspaper and both cities feature Puerto Rican parades in the summer. The college will make arrangements for a school van to take students to one of the churches with sufficient notice and several faculty who attend the churches themselves have offered to give rides to students.
