Picturesque and suburban in style, Riverdale is a part of New York City-in fact, it sits on the shore of the Hudson River, just 12 miles from Manhattan. You'll find quiet neighborhoods and lively commercial areas with movie theaters, shops, and restaurants. The area offers the beauty and safety of a suburb-with terrific access to the most exciting city in the world. Read Riverdale's weekly newspapers, The Riverdale Press and The Riverdale Review...
Just a bus or subway ride away, Manhattan is open around the clock. You'll find internationally acclaimed cultural institutions, cutting-edge theater and music, food from around the world, and, best of all, internships. About 35 percent of our undergraduate students -or 70 percent if you include student-teachers-have internships at places like MTV, Merrill Lynch, and NYU Medical Center. You can't beat the Mount for opportunities to work at leading companies and institutions.
