Schoharie County offers a rare combination of rural life and direct access to the services and activities of a metropolitan area-New York's Capital Region. Albany lies only a 40-minute drive northeast of the college. The county is in close proximity to such splendors as the Adirondack Park, the Catskill Mountains, the historic Helderberg Mountains, and the Mohawk Valley. State and private parks, streams, lakes, mountain trails and ski areas provide an abundance of outdoor activities.
