"The Train"


Navigating the area by train is a new, and somewhat daunting, task for many. It need not be intimidating, and train travel can often be quite convenient for short or long trips. Below you will find a list of some local stations.

The "Other" Airport


Now that you have landed in the suburbs of New York City, you might need to consider how to get out of here from time to time. The three major airports, LaGuardia, JFK and Newark are probably already on your radar. What you might not know is that the White Plains Westchester County Airport is the closest airport to the seminary. While it is much smaller than the "Big Three," you might be surprised to find that many airlines offer convenient, direct flights straight to many destinations from this regional airport. So, when you are searching kayak.com for your next flight, be sure to include White Plains in your criteria!

Note: Parking is expensive and limited. Take a shuttle or have a friend help you with drop-off and pickup (unless you have deep pockets and like to gamble).
