Students at Wagner are encouraged to explore the excitement of all that New York City offers. The resources of the City benefit students both academically and socially and help to enlarge students' experiences and broaden their horizons. The Office of Co-Curricular Programming offers trips for students to explore "connections" to New York City and the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area. Activities are sponsored outside the classroom to give students opportunities to discover all that the area has to offer. In addition to official trips into the city sponsored by Student Activities, Wagner provides a free shuttle bus which makes stops at the Staten Island Ferry terminal (where students can catch the free Staten Island Ferry to Manhattan). Public transportation around the five boroughs of New York City is extensive and easy to use - a quick and easy way to explore!
