New York City may be the largest "college town" in the world, with some of the world's best higher educational facilities across Manhattan and the other boroughs. A number of notable college and universities are right near StuyTown and Peter Cooper Village, in the East Village and other neighborhoods. Whether you're headed straight from high school to college, returning to school after a stint in the workforce, or attending part-time, your educational options are wide.
