The College is located in Morningside Heights, a section of Manhattan that has a long tradition of intellectual excellence. The neighborhood is also one of the safest in New York City, and the streets are usually filled with residents and tourists, browsing through the bookstores and visiting historic and architectural wonders such as the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, Riverside Church and Grant's Tomb.
