Oneonta is home to the Foothills Performing Arts Center and just 30 minutes to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. The campus is surrounded by 360 degree mountain views and is close to the Catskill Mountains. Upstate New York is a four-season state with mild summers, cool nights, and beautiful spring foliage. Fall is colorful and winters offer plenty of snow, ideal for snowboarding
and skiing. 
The campus is 4.5 hours to New York City (NYC) by bus and 1 hour from Albany, the capital of New York and a major shopping area.

Oneonta has a progressive, local and interstate bus system running 7 days per week with routine stops on campus. Downtown Oneonta is walking distance from SUNY and has local shopping, unique gift shops, restaurants, farmer’s markets, and entertainment in this historic city. A nearby shopping mall is a short distance to the campus by bus.

Albany International Airport is just over 1 hour away—The OIE office provides free airport pickup for new student arrivals.
