| Southampton Graduate Campus is located on the eastern tip of Long Island,
NY in the heart of The Hamptons, one of the most beautiful ocean resorts
in the world. Visitors come from far and wide to enjoy the areaís
rural charm and jet-set sophistication, only 70 miles from New York
City.
The Hamptons International Film Festival, a Shakespeare Festival,
Pianofest, The Steinbeck Book Fair, The Hampton Classic Horse Show,
and the World Affairs Council lectures are some of the annual events.
Art openings, book signings, museums, theater, great restaurants
and shopping add to the panache. The old Halsey Homestead built
in 1648 by one of the areaís original settlers and the Sag
Harbor Whaling Museum are two of the many historical sites and museums.
Artists, writers, celebrities and business leaders have long made
the Hamptons their home. Billy Joel, Steven Spielberg, Julie Andrews,
Alan Alda, Alec Baldwin and Christie Brinkley, E.L. Doctorow, Peter
Matthiessen, Dava Sobel, and Larry Rivers all spend time in the
Hamptons. The late artists Wilhelm DeKooning and Jackson Pollock
lived and worked here as did the writers Irwin Shaw and Willie Morris.
Broadway shows, Wall Street, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and
Yankees and Mets baseball games are an easy bus or train ride away
in New York City. Beautiful Atlantic ocean beaches, quiet inlets,
tidal creeks, bays and farm fields add to the inspirational beauty
of this string of seaside villages and towns and make the Hamptons
an ideal place in which to learn. A strong tradition of environmental
preservation is buoyed by such advocacy organizations as Group For
The South Fork and The Peconic Land Trust.
