Hi guys.
Today, I’m in Tarrytown, which is a 40-minute train ride from New York’s Central Station.
It’s so beautiful and so green here, and this is where EF has its campus.
I’m going to meet Diana who works here, and she’s going to take me around.
Let’s go meet her.
Hi Diana! Hi Maria!
How are you? I’m good, thank you. How are you?
Good. It’s so beautiful here. Yes, it’s a gorgeous day out today.
I’m very excited for you to show me around. Yes. Let’s get this started!
Here’s Butler Hall.
When students come in on Sundays, this is where they arrive.
It’s really beautiful. I can see why it’s called the main building. It’s very grand.
Yes. Right now the building is primarily used by our 25-year-old and over students.
This is very nice. What’s happening here?
Later on, we’re having a barbecue, so they’re setting up.
How often do you do that? We do it every couple of weeks.
There’s our sports building, right over there. This is very nice. What is this area for?
Right over here, you can see that we have the soccer field.
We also have barbecuing grills here, some lounge chairs and the sand volleyball court.
Cool!
We also have a pool inside the sports building. What is it mainly used for?
The students mainly use it for individual lap swimming.
We occasionally have a couple of activities in here like pool parties,
or students just come and hang out.
They must really enjoy it. It’s really nice. Yeah.
Right over here, we have one of our classes. It’s very cool.
Yes, it is. Nice. It feels like Greece with blue and white.
Yeah, I love these classrooms in this building. They’re very fun.
Cool!
It’s a very big campus. Yeah, it’s huge.
How many students do you have?
At our peak time, we have close to 1500 students on campus.
Right now, we’re going to enter Rita Hall. To your right side is the reception area.
In this area we have computers, tables and chairs for our study areas.
A lot of people playing chess. Yes.
We have pool tables and foosball tables as well.
Wow. It must take some time to get used to where everything is.
I can see myself getting lost here during the first few days.
Oh yeah, when I started here, I got lost several times.
This is the Tea House. Yes.
It looks like a typical American Diner. It’s very cool.
Yes.
This is for students to write things. Yes, we have some artists here.
Yeah, I can see a ghost.
We also have our menu here. We offer a variety of different food.
Do you students have discos or dances here?
Yes. We actually have our graduation celebrations here.
Wow, this view! It’s gorgeous, right?
Oh my gosh.
Yes, the Tappan Zee Bridge is right over there, and also the New Bridge.
A lot of the dormrooms get this view. They have great views of Tarrytown in general.
That’s beautiful.
How long has the Tappan Zee Bridge been here? Forever.
Guys, thank you so much for watching.
I had the best time discovering EF’s New York campus today.
It made me reminisce about all the wonderful times I had back in school,
and my favorite subject, which was History.
I wanted to ask you,
what is or was your favorite subject at school and why?
Comment below and the winner is going to get these 12 NY pencils.
Thank you so much for watching and come back next week.
Next week: Maria goes to Times Square, New York
