6 Campus Life At Monroe, we like to think of New York City as part of our extended campus. Both our New Rochelle and Bronx campuses are just a thirty-minute train ride from Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan, which means that our students are able to take advantage of all the cultural, academic, and professional resources that the Big Apple has to offer. The Student Activities Office on both campuses makes sure to take advantage of Monroe s close proximity to NYC with trips to museums, plays, and athletic events though both the Bronx and New Rochelle have a lot going on in their own right. Each semester, students can enjoy on-campus events such as movie night, Welcome BBQs and Ice Cream Socials, a Relaxation Zone during finals, and Family Fun Days for the whole family to enjoy. Some off-campus events have included: Subway Series, Yankees vs. Mets, Citi Field Six Flags Great Adventure, New Jersey Cirque Du Soleil, NYC AIDS Walk NYC, Central Park Movie Night, New Roc City Dorney Park, Pennsylvania Yankees vs. Red Sox, Yankee Stadium Splish Splash Water Park, Long Island Delaware River Tubing Barton Orchard Apple Picking, North Salem, NY Breast Cancer Walk, NYC Intrepid Sea and Space Museum, NYC Ice Skating, NYC New York Botanical Gardens, Bronx The Bronx Zoo Laser Tag Paintball
