纽约州最顶尖的四所大学
1. Columbia University
Located in Upper Manhattan, Columbia University is the fifth oldest university in the country and the oldest in New York State. The university was founded in 1754 as King’s College. Post-revolution, the institution was renamed Columbia College and in 1896 became Columbia University to reflect the collection of colleges that had been brought together, including Barnard College for women in 1891.
Joseph Pulitzer founded Columbia’s prestigious School of Journalism in 1912. In the 1930s, Columbia School of Law produced two Supreme Court Chief Justices, Charles Evans Hughes and Harlan Fiske Stone. The Columbia University campus on Morningside Heights has been home to the university since 1897. The architect Charles Follen McKim was inspired by the classical architecture of ancient Greece. Columbia University Medical Centre has its own 20-acre campus in Washington Heights, two miles further north.
第一位、哥伦比亚大学
哥伦比亚大学位于曼哈顿上城，是美国第五古老的大学，也是纽约州最古老的大学。哥伦比亚大学成立于1754年，当时为国王学院。革命后，学校重命名为哥伦比亚学院。1891年，巴纳德女子学院等学校合并。为反映这些被合并的学校，1896年，哥伦比亚学院成为哥伦比亚大学。
1912年，约瑟夫-普利策成立了著名的新闻学院。20世纪30年代，哥伦比亚大学法学院培培养出了两名最高法院首席大法官查尔斯·埃文斯·休斯和哈伦·菲斯克·斯通。1897年后，晨边高地分校成为哥伦比亚大学本部所在地。建筑师查尔斯-弗伦-麦金从古希腊古典建筑中得到启发。哥伦比亚大学医学中心位于本部以北的华盛顿高地，占地20英亩，距离本部二英里。
2. Cornell University
Cornell University, founded in 1865, is an Ivy League university that consistently performs highly in world rankings. Cornell University’s 2,300-acre campus is located in the picturesque Finger Lakes region of New York State.
The campus is vast enough to contain hiking trails for students to explore. Nearby Ithaca has a reputation for being a favourite with foodies. One of the university’s traditions is the annual Dragon Day parade in late March. Architecture students parade a giant dragon across the campus where it is pitted against a phoenix created by students from the rival College of Engineering.
The university has a number of locations in New York City, including Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Science in Upper Manhattan.
第二位、康奈尔大学
康奈尔大学成立于1865年，是常年排名顶尖的常春藤盟校之一。康奈尔大学位于纽约州优美的芬格湖群区，校园占地2千3百英亩。
这么大的校园足以容纳学生登山路径。附近的伊萨卡岛是美食家的最爱，并以此著称。康奈尔大学有一项传统，那就是每年三月下旬的“龙之日”游行。在“龙之日”，建筑专业的学生高举巨龙环绕校园。同时，工程学院作为对手，也在校园里举着凤凰同建筑学院竞赛。
康奈尔大学在纽约市有多个校区，其威尔-康奈尔医学研究生院位于曼哈顿上城。
3. New York University
Among the top institutions in NYC is New York University, located in the heart of Manhattan. Washington Square Park is the epicentre of NYU activity with many of the university’s halls and academic buildings nearby. Departments are located across the river in downtown Brooklyn.
Founded by the statesman Albert Gallatin in 1831, NYU was established to serve students from all walks of life. Today, New York University is up among the top universities in the US in terms of academic rankings. It is also one of the largest private universities in the country with more than 40,000 students, and is a member of the prestigious Association of American Universities.
One of NYU’s annual traditions is the Strawberry Festival, a chance for students to celebrate the end of exams and enjoy a slice of the longest strawberry cheesecake in New York City.
第三位、纽约大学
纽约大学是纽约州顶尖的大学之一，它位于曼哈顿市区。华盛顿广场公园是纽约大学活动设施所在地，公园附近集中了学校的诸多会堂和教学楼。各部门位于布鲁克林中心，分列在当地河流两岸。
纽约大学成立于1831年，创始人是政治家艾伯特·加勒廷。学校的初衷是为各类背景各个阶层的学生提供服务。今天，纽约大学已被各种学术排名评为美国顶尖的一所大学。此外，纽约大学也是美国最大的私立大学之一，有四万多名学生。它也是著名的“北美大学协会”的一名成员。
纽约大学的一个传统就是每年的草莓节。在草莓节上，学生们庆祝期末结束，享用纽约市最长的草莓起司蛋糕。
4. University of Rochester
It may not be as well known among international students but the University of Rochester has made pioneering advances across different subjects, including mathematics, social sciences, medicine and music.
The university has a distinct approach to studies: its own “Rochester Curriculum”. Unlike other university programmes, there are no required subjects and students must take courses in humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. There are a number of competitive fifth-year programmes that allow undergraduates a tuition-free year to study a subject unrelated to their major, or pursue an innovative entrepreneurial project.
The main campus is next to the river that leads to Lake Ontario. The institution provides a smaller, more communal environment than that found in many city universities.
第四位、罗切斯特大学
罗切斯特大学可能对于国际生来说可能没有上面的大学那么有名，但是它在多个学科领域都领先，比如数学、社会科学、医学、音乐。
罗切斯特大学有自己独特的教学方法，即“罗切斯特课程”。和其他大学不同，学校没有必修课，学生可以学习人文、社会科学和自然科学方面的课程。此外，学校有多个颇具竞争力的五年制计划。这类计划允许学生免学费学习一年与专业无关的课程，或者参与创新创业项目。
主校区位于注入安大略湖的河流河畔。学校拥有许多城市大学应有的小规模集体环境。
