^ Agree, Manhattan is a 5 1/2 drive if you don’t run into traffic or construction, the train is easier and relieves the parking/driving nightmare in the city. Many of the private coach bus companies offer weekend excursions and I believe the local AAA does sometimes as well.

There’s a plethora of interesting schools to visit in upstate/central NY in addition to LeMoyne and SU in Syracuse. Rochester (RIT, UofR) is an hour’s drive; Buffalo has at least six and is about 1.5 hours away (visit Niagara Falls if you go); Ithaca (Cornell, Ithaca College) is under an hour. There’s also Colgate University in Hamilton and Hamilton College in Clinton, both of which would be well worth looking at for their fine reputations, great programs, beautiful campuses, and outstanding financial aid for needy students. Hamilton and Clinton are within 1/2 hour of each other and less than an hour from Syracuse.
