<p>If you exit Vassar on the opposite side of campus, there are shopping malls, strip mall, etc…not sure that’s a plus, but the few shops you see when entering the campus aren’t the only ones nearby. And yes, you would need a car to get there (although there may be a bus-we didn’t check the bus routes.)</p>
<p>NYYankees, I wasn’t suggesting that someone couldn’t handle several activities at once. I’m just saying that infinite variety is often unnecessary and over-rated as a criteria.</p>
