I’d like to add that the train trip along the Hudson River between Poughkeepsie and NYC is beautiful. Particularly going north at sunset🌄.
Walkway Over the Hudson is also A+, and if you like history at all, FDR’s house and museum at Hyde Park are outstanding.
Vassar was my D19’s second choice although she ended up wanting a bigger school. It would be my S24’s first choice if he thought he had a chance at admission!
