Campus Recreation

Neurology residents have access to all University buildings, both on the Health Science and Morningside Campuses. Physical fitness centers at both the Health Sciences and Morningside Heights campuses have ample gymnasia, swimming pools, weight rooms, squash and handball courts, aerobics classes, and an indoor running track. Residents also have access to either University or public tennis courts as well as to jogging routes nearby in Riverside Park. Access to a wide variety of cultural, intellectual, and entertainment activities is an integral part of resident life on both campuses. The Health Sciences campus is located in Washington Heights, near the northern end of Manhattan Island. It overlooks the Hudson River, the George Washington Bridge, the New Jersey Palisades, and midtown Manhattan. The Morningside Heights campus is located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, a lively college neighborhood of bookstores and student oriented restaurants. A 10-minutes free shuttle bus ride connects the two campuses; subway and bus service provide alternative means of transportation.
