Hyde Park is a pretty tiny town with not much to do. The neighboring town of Poughkeepsie is a little more populated: it has shopping centers, a movie theater, restaurants, and a mall. You might wonder what a culinary student up here does in their free time. Well I've made a pretty great group of friends, all of whom are in my start date. There's roughly 10 of us give or take a few. We pretty much do everything together. All but a couple live in the same building which makes it nice and easy to hang out. And on top of that we're mixed between culinary and baking&pastry. Our varying schedules means that there's time when we're not all together, it's nice to have alone time now and then.
So we manage to do quite a bit when we're not in class.
-we've gone to the mall
-saw a movie
-went out to eat(we do this alot)
-went to buy some fish
-went to a dog/cat breeder and played with puppies for an afternoon
-grocery shopping
-church on Sunday
-we have family meal on the weekend in our community kitchen
-and of course we took a trip to NYC
Sometimes it's actually nice to just hang out in the library and do homework: sit by the fireplace and relax.
There's also different activities to do on campus. We've gone to a basketball game, we all work out a bunch, hang out in the rec center lounge, etc. No matter what I do, when I'm with my friends it's a good time.
