Thank you both for your replies. I think it would be a nice idea to have a monthly bus trip for the day to NYC to see museums, shows and do a little shopping. Nice to have some camaraderie and something fun to do on a Saturday or Sunday with some culture. Maybe they’d consider it and see how much interest is there among students. New Paltz seems like a nice small town but I could see where students might get bored after awhile. Nice to have a NYC day trip once in awhile and gives students a chance to meet other students too.
