Quality of Life

The beautiful 44-acre, traditional Tudor style Sarah Lawrence campus -- just north of New York City -- is among the many attractive reasons for working at our College. Quality of life, however, isn't the only factor for many that work here. For some it is certainly the intangible benefit of the College's warm, collegial, challenging and intellectual environment. For others it is the highly tangible, concrete advantages.
