Sarah Lawrence College
Sarah Lawrence College is a private liberal arts school located 30 minutes north of NYC in southern Westchester County, within walking distance of the charming village of Bronxville. Sarah Lawrence is a small school with an enrollment of just over 1,600, and though co-educational the female population makes up approximately 70% of the student body. Students love the non-traditional approach to education offered at Sarah Lawrence--there are no majors, only concentrations, allowing for the freedom to design one’s own course of study.
