Jersey City's location near the Hudson River allows students to reach the cultural, academic, and financial resources of New York City. Ferry cruises depart frequently from Jersey City to go to New York Harbor; students may take this excursion to see the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Saint Peter's College also encompasses an adult learner's campus in Englewood Cliffs located in Bergen County.
