Poughkeepsie is a rundown small city with poor town-gown relations.

Town is not anything special. The residential campus would be the focus.

It seemed like a pretty nice community

Small neighborhood. Arlington, closest built-up area, seems good for shopping. Quaint country roads, forests, etc. You have to accept the semi-isolation. NYC is so close!

Poughkeepsie is a mid-sized industrial town. I’m not sure what its crime rate is, but I wouldn’t want my daughter taking midnight strolls off-campus.

A lot of strip malls and fast food restuarants. Nothing to write home about. The college did, however, offer daily shuttles to a mall and movie theatre and the train can be taken into NYC on weekends.

Poughkeepsie aka Poughtown. Not a very wealthy community I'm guessing.
